Vegan couple get life for killing their baby

ATLANTA (AP) - An Atlanta vegan couple whose malnourished 6-week-old son starved to death after they fed him a too-limited diet of soy milk and apple juice will have to serve their life sentences for murder, Georgia's top court ruled on Monday.

The Georgia Supreme Court's unanimous decision rejected appeals by Jade Sanders and Lamont Thomas.

The two first-time parents in their 20s at the time lived in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood. They rushed their infant, Crown Shakur, to the hospital in April 2004 after he began to have trouble breathing. Doctors who couldn't resuscitate him determined he died because of extreme malnourishment or starvation.

Police searching the couple's apartment found a soy milk bottle, an apple juice bottle and a rancid-smelling baby bottle caked with debris.

At the 2007 trial, prosecutors said the soy milk cartons in their apartment stated that it wasn't to be used as a substitute for baby formula. They also contended that the couple intentionally neglected their child and refused to take him to the doctor even as his body wasted away. He was just 3.5 pounds when he died, about as much as a baby weighs at 7 months into a normal pregnancy.

The stupidity of libtards knows no bounds.

To liberals the value of life is relative. If the life in question is theirs or someone or something that they personally value then it is important. If the life in question is not their own then all bets are off.

The unborn? unimportant

The infirm? unimportant

The mentally deficient? unimportant

The very young? unimportant

The very old? unimportant

The only questions needing an answer are how to dispatch the inconvenient life and then how to tastefully dispose of the remains.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Dang, Trap. You make it sound like Libs are kinda like Nazis . . .
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

Actually these are VERY important when they want our tax dollars to support them.

All the above is right, but especially that Nazi comparison!

Ironically, I had just mentioned this sort of child abuse in the thread about the nanny state social workers in Britain threatening to take away overweight kids. This sort of thing -- vegans forcing infants onto an unnatural diet -- generates none of the same "concern" as kids who are mildly overweight.

Where's Social Services threatening urban granola parents with confiscation of their children?

Here's the crux ...

Quote
"No matter how many times they want to say, `We're vegans, we're vegetarians,' that's not the issue in this case," prosecutor Chuck Boring said during the trial. "The child died because he was not fed. Period."

The kid's name was Crown Shakur.  What does that tell you?

I don't know if the two fckwit parents were vegans or not, but the kid was only six weeks old and there wasn't time nor opportunity for the "authorities" to twig to a problem.

I will add this:  with all the hoohah about overweight kids, too many are not getting the nutrition they need, which is whole milk and meat.  Too many carbs, including the much-touted "fiber-y" kind -- even in vegetables -- is not a good diet for anyone.  In my never to be humble opinion.

Stupid, selfish people.

I'm not sure it's a liberal thing.  Or vegetarian thing.  (I know vegs who are annoyingly over concerned about what they and their kids eat and would never starve their kids).

It's about responsibility.


Being a grown up.

With the legalization of abortion, it became acceptable to put yourself before anyone else and not be accused of being selfish.

Tells me a lot...

The parents are batsh*t effing nuts and the kid was doomed from the start and lucky to live a day with these freaks!

Crown Shakur. The first warning sign that was missed on this child's path to the grave.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Of all the dioramas, caricatures, and recreations of pre-historic man, not one depicts him grazing or gardening but they do depict him with weapons hunting meat, cooking and eating it.
