Throats Slit Before Staten Island Fire, Police Say

 Whuh da bloodclott is dis ya uh gwine on in de newspaper dem?   Chuh...

It looks like Ms. Leisa Jones's oldest child, C. J., whom his mom recently dubbed the man of the house, decided to slit the throats of his and his brother and sister before setting their Staten Island, NY home on fire, killing his mom, his siblings, and himself.  The last child, a 2 year old son of Ms. Jones, died without his throat being cut.

"C. J.’s body was close by, slumped over a bed in a back bedroom. A straight razor was under his arm..."

That's it!  I give up.  The devil is one way too crafty bastid to get into the minds of children like that to cause this much harm, pain, and suffering.

I dunno Aye..........that sounds like the 14 year old might have been set up...why in the heyl would he still have the straight razor under his arm AND he is running around setting a fire in the last stages of what was a horrific and dramatic act!!! Seems that would have been dropped at some point especially if he knows its gonna be hard to slit his own throat.   Sorry....I need to know if there were any boyfriends or other people involved with this family! Either way...its a crying shame!

I see your point, Slick, but that's also why I started it off with, "It looks like..."  Can't be in the business of printing too many retractions around here in the wake of the way Rep. Charlie Rangel's twin sister (obviously seperated at birth) Shirley Sherrod's case was handled.

ETA:
...and what's up with y'all sistas these days and all of these in-da-drug-game/out-da-drug-game boyfriends that could've possibly perhaps maybe sorta kinda may have had a beef here or there but details are sketchy at the moment something to do with such a heinous act.  Not saying she had one but I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about these women who will have a "man" that "beats it up" on the regular and that's all he brings to the table, but will still be out there running around in a throwback jersey, baggy jeans, and dreads at dayum near 50 years old.  Ladies y'all can do better...   Just sayin.

Oh..No...I was basing my opinion on the article and not on what you stated. I did reread the article AND it does seem like there was a behavioral pattern leading up to this event SO I might be wrong either way.  Its so sad...all those young lives gone.

How did we get to where empathy and compassion are missing in our children.  Only one devoid of both could be so cruel. 

What could possibly hae been going through this child's mind?  Could he have been mentally ill, psychotic for sure.  Is it exposure to gratuitus violence?  We'll never know. 

Such beautiful young lives gone.  A mom who worked so hard for her family murdered by one she sacraficed and struggled for.  And he's just a child.  How can this ever be explained.

I can't begin to understand; however, I am leaning towards mental illness in this case.  That's something that we in the black community often times rule out readily in our children that don't quite "look" (like we can always tell by a look) the part of a mental ill individual. 

Still SMDH at this one...

All joking aside. Not trying to sound like sister super Christian here BUT..this is the TRUTH, like it or not. The bible tells us that in the last days sons will turn against fathers and daughters against mothers and brothers against brothers.  We are in the last days.  This is evidence of it and it will get worse. 

You are so correct about Satan. He is slick, but his greatest weapon is SUGGESTION.  He whispers it over and over in your ear until you give in. This is why in Ephesians 6:11-20, it talks of putting on ALL the armor of God
in order to withstand the attacks of Satan. The battle is in the mind.   We can't battle him in the flesh and go kick is filthy ass. Oh that I could! We have to battle him in the spirit realm and along with God, beat the ******* back to the gates of Hell.  What is the armor of God...HIS WORD. Speaking the word of God, knowing the word of God, being able to see the attacks when they come and stop them cold by SPEAKING God's word...to the attack directly...stops Satan in his tracks. In order to speak Gods word, you must know Gods word. In order to know His word...you must read and hear his word, repeatedly until it is written on your heart. For what is in your heart...you will speak.

This is so tragic and horrific and trust me, we will hear more of this before Jesus returns. My heart breaks for this family. The loss is so great, so devastating. We must lean on and trust in God and know that we are victorious in the end.

Love is all there is, ever was or ever will be...
