There has been something of an internet sensation, though perhaps not as much as I’d have expected, over a woman shooting a seven-month-old infant in a stroller.

None of the characters in this sad tale are a benefit to civilized society.

From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Police cite $100 drug debt as the reason behind the shooting of a 7-month-old; alleged shooter ID’d

Police said the parents fled the scene without their wounded child because both had open warrants.

A 28-year-old woman has been charged in the shooting of a 7-month-old infant in the city’s Holmesburg section on Thursday night that police say stemmed from a $100 drug debt with the child’s parents.

Police arrested Dominique Billups, of Northeast Philadelphia, Friday night and authorities charged her with three counts of aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, reckless engagement, and related offenses, Lt. Dennis Rosenbaum said at a news conference Saturday.

Police on Friday released surveillance video that shows two people, whom authorities identified as the 7-month-old victim’s parents, hanging out on Meridian Street with a baby stroller, when a person police said is Billups walks up and fires three shots at close range.

A woman screams. The shooter then appears to yell at the mother about her baby and calls her an expletive before fleeing the scene.

The baby’s parents fled the scene, supposedly because there were open warrants against them. KYW News noted that the mother of the baby is a juvenile herself. The local media have said that there was an argument over a $100 drug debt, but do not specify who owed whom the money.

So, what do we have? We have an absolutely wonderful situation in which the shooter, who had been “the victim of an unrelated shooting that occurred in the same area in August 2022,” going to jail — assuming that the George Soros-sponsored, police-hating and criminal-loving District Attorney, Larry Krasner, doesn’t just give her a slap on the wrist, and the parents, one of whom might have f(ornicated) an underaged girl, hopefully also going to jail over some drug offense and for whatever offenses led to them having open warrants. Mr Krasner has the opportunity to get three criminals off the streets at once, though obviously not forever. Under Title 18 §2702(a)(1) is a first-degree felony, under subsection (b), the sentence for which can be up to twenty years in the state penitentiary.

Shooting an infant strapped in a stroller? She needs to get the maximum allowed under the law, because this woman is unredeemable. Get her off the streets for as long as possible!

The parents? Wastrels, at the very least, apparently druggies. Two more people who are no contribution to society. The longer they stay in jail, the better.
