A 52-year-old Winter Haven woman is charged with shooting her daughter to death when the younger woman, who was holding her 4-month-old baby, knocked on the door.
Adele Bing of 481 18th St. S.E. told police she accidentally shot her daughter, saying she "thought it was somebody else." She is charged with second-degree murder and child abuse without great bodily harm, according to Winter Haven police reports.
"How could I look my grandkids in their face and say I killed their mother?" Bing told police. "Y'all can lock me away for good."
Police said her boyfriend, James Lane, 39, was at the hospital during the incident being treated for a head wound he said he received when Adele Bing hit him with a pistol.How many times have we read stories of some good old fat white boy doing exactly this and NOT getting arrested at all?
But what I don't understand is why do the gun-rights fanatics deny there's a racist element in the application of the law. Is it because they feel guilty getting away with things that others can't?
Sounds like she meant to kill someone, it was just that the wrong person was on the other side of the door. Going to be tough to 'splain that one with the boyfriend at the hospital at the time of the shooting.
ReplyDelete"She told police it was "a f--ked up accident" because she thought it was Lane, 39, who was "banging and kicking on her front door," according to the police report obtained by CNN."
"She told police that she "intended to use the firearm to kill her boyfriend, because he stated he was going to come back and kill her," the police report said."
"Lane was still at a Winter Haven hospital being treated for a head injury suffered when Bing hit him with a gun, a police statement said. Police officers were at the emergency room interviewing Lane when the call came in about a shooting at the Bing residence."

Makes you wonder how many of you lawful gun owners are like this one. I'd guess too many due to the ease with which ANYONE can get a gun.
DeleteCan you go a day without attacking strawmen, making ad hominem attacks, and suffering from fits of illogic?
ReplyDeleteCan you? You never do.
DeleteGreg, my two questions were in earnest. Why, do you have a problem with them?
DeleteMikeb, you cry racism and bigotry when things don't go your way, but your own comments are deeply bigoted.
DeleteGreg, right now we have the dangerous idiot in Georgia who shot AND KILLED the Alzheimer's victim. The sheriff said he broke no laws. Comparing that one to this story, I call racism.
DeleteOf course, you do. Racism to you is a filler word to be inserted at random.
DeleteCan't beat Mike's facts, so just call him a bigot. The debating tools of a criminal liar.
