I hope you all f*cking drown honestly. A 15 year old dies, TG just suffered the most horrific loss a person can suffer, and all you miserable virgins can talk about is gun politics and criticize his parenting. Go kill yourselves. Now.

Must be difficult to know that you cannot be honest with yourself, or others. This is an incredible tragedy for all, and you obviously do not stand for truth or justice.

there's a place for comments like the one in this thread and its on r/parenting and the dr. phil show, not here and now. from appearances the girl didn't even live with Tyson

Stayed at same hotel with Tyson at '08 Trials. He had a lot of family there with him including his Mom & his kids. Super nice folks, all of them. I pray his faith is helping to sustain him through this. Tragic.

I'm calling bullshit on this. According to Tyson Gay biography, he only has 1 child.

This thread embodies why we have the two candidates, we have to choose to lead this country.

When someone you love dies, I hope you think about what you've done here.

This is horrible. We've all been out late as teens at Dennys or IHOP, so don't say anything about parenting. Please find those a- holes and lock them away for life.

I can't imagine the pain Gay must be feeling now. My condolences.

Being out at 4am for anyone, and especially a 15 year old is not wise. It's not that she was up to no good, it's that alot of other people up to no good are out at that time... and you're playing Russian roulette with your life at that time of night. Good teachable moment for parents and youth coaches.

Im astonished that so many people seem to consider beeig out late to be that dangerous. I assume that there must be some truth to it. I'm from western Europe and have never lived a long time in other contintents, which means Im only used to civilised societies, unable to relate to this fears. In Spain for instance it's perfectly fine for teenagers to basically spend the summer nights outside. You can of course overdo it and it migh not help your studies and definitely keep you from becoming an elite athlete, there are also neighbourhoods to avoid... but the general assumption that it's innately unsafe is really bothering and a bad symptoms for a country.

Moderators: Moderate please.

You guys are trash. Her twitter is some posturing black teen shit mixed with thoughts on finding her soul mate, needing braces again and looking forward to track season. Mostly she's a 15-yr-old girl who loves her friends and cousins and watching white girls fight.

And shut up about taxes when Donald Trump doesn't pay taxes under the same tax code. Maybe someone will totally write you off as a human being from the disgusting things you post on a message board.

Horrible news but clearly we have parenting issues here.

#1. What's a 15 year old doing out at 4am?

Come on parents who allows their children to stay out all night!!

I think it the wrong time to judge her behavior. No matter whether one agrees with her being out at this hour of night, she truly is an innocent victim. I wish nothing but support and condolences for her family. Plus, blaming the victim is not helpful at this time.

There is a policy issue, here, and a difficult one. Given the so-called "War on Drugs", there likely is to some degree an over-incarceration problem, particularly in minority communities. But there also is an under-incarceration problem, meaning there are some people on the streets who frankly should not be. The shooter here is on supervised release, and at a minimum his alleged conduct raises questions why he was permitted to run free in the community. It is challenging to sort out, but doing so requires discussion.

This is a difficult issue, because the incarceration rate in some of these communities is already high. At the same time, however, it is a problem. The killers of Dwyane Wade's niece had no business being out in the streets - absolutely indefensible that they were out and free. And while more information is needed to discern just how out of control the alleged shooter is here, the fact is that there is a guy on supervised release shooting people.

What is also disturbing is that this isn't Englewood in Chicago, but sleepy Lexington. It is not hyperbole to ask whether one can be safe from this time of violence.

I disagree but even if you were right (and you're not) so effing what?? The risks of letting your kids out too late are lack of sleep, poor athletic performance, poor grades, and the like. Not gunshot death. You can't blame Tyson for that - he had nothing to do with it.

Even if she shouldn't have been out there only the shooters are to blame.

Point blank: She shouldn't of been out that late and had she not of been out she wouldn't of been murdered.

Point blank 2: It's a tragedy. She's eating at a late night establishment on a Saturday with friends. Something a lot of teens do. She probably stayed the night at a friends house, something her parents condoned. As a parent you can only do so much. Tyson regardless of the doping conviction never came off as irresponsible. He always seemed stern, motivated, and driven. Outside looking in I'm sure he is a good parent. Besides he wasn't even in KY at the time.

I can tell you I used to roll out with my friends to IHop and taco bell back in the day. Egging cars, houses, etc. Teenagers do a lot of irresponsible things regardless of what their parents say. Kids lie to get their way. Anyone who thinks their little billy or sally is an angel is lying to themselves.

Lastly,

The blame lies in the three thugs who decided to mediate their anger through a drive by shooting killing an innocent bystander. Punish them to the maximum extent of the law.

I pray those cynical few in this forum who would rather pass judgement than condolences don't ever feel the loss of a loved one in this manner. Too many loser distance runner wannabes post crude bullshit on these boards.

The people posting here about politics are like either children or adults with developmental issues.

That's right... you must be in your house and in bed by 8pm or your life is at risk!

The risks of having your kids run around on their own late into the morning are way more than what you say, which are plenty of good enough reasons.

But unfortunately , it does obviously include having them be a part of violence more than if they kept normal hours. It also includes having older kids/adults having access to them that you don't want. It's an accident waiting to happen and if nothing this tragic does it's still going to hurt their development.

Source: I wasn't raised right.

Interesting that the blame has been shifted to people who would rather not see a 15 year old out at 4 am. Especially when there was earlier gunfire.

It's too late now. She's gone. My heart goes out to Tyson Gay and his family.
