Man shoots baby in head after child's mother rejected him at party, police say

[Madmallard]

A man shot a 10-month-old baby in the head after the child’s mother rejected his advances at a party in California, police said.

Marcos Antonio Echartea, 23, was arrested Sunday and charged with three counts of attempted murder. The wounded baby, Fayth Percy, has been hospitalized ever since.

“We are hoping and praying that baby Fayth is able to survive this injury as well as make a full recovery,” Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said at a news conference hours after the shooting on Sunday.

Police say Deziree Menagh, 18, brought her daughter Fayth to the gathering, where Echartea tried to touch the mother without her consent at least two times. She told police that she had only met Echartea once before.

So what possible punishment could fit this sort of crime?

 

[tony]

Simple, put an end to his existence...

 

[S&W Fan]

I’m in favor of some of the old mid evil forms of punishment for animals like this. Disembowelment while he’s still alive and leave him for the Coyotes to finish off wouldn’t be inappropriate.

Revoke his NRA life membership, that's what CNN would propose.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Put him in an iron lung in the prison hospital and keep him alive as long as possible.

Nothing. Death is too kind and life imprisonment is not enough torture.

Unfortunately death would really be the only answer because an animal like this has no place to live amongst civilized society.

Echartea was also wanted for another shooting that occurred a few miles away on May 27. Police say he fired numerous rounds into a house that belonged to his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend.

“In that case, one of the bullets penetrated the walls and nearly struck another 1-year old-who was inside,” Dyer said Sunday. “That bullet landed approximately one foot from where the baby was.


That guy is a real class act. Also has a terrible mustache.

While in no way am I defending the actions of this animal, the title of the article seems a bit misleading. My take from the article is he intended to shoot the boyfriend (and possibly girl) but infant wound up being the only victim. Article's title make it seem girl rejected his advances and he shot the infant as retaliation and no doubt geared for sensationalism and to trigger emotion. Agree with most about what should become of this animal.

I'm talking about the title of the article not what happened or defending the actions of the perpetrator... but my guess is you already knew that...

Many years ago local Indians caught 2 white men and cut them open and tied their intestines to stakes in the ground and forced them to run in circles.

Boyd was tied to a tree by his own intestines and forced to run around the tree until he fell dead. The tree is still located in the commemorative park.

Jee-zus.

What happened to him was pretty brutal, too.

There is no need to "invent" new punishments.

We used to have PUBLIC HANGINGS.

Inexpensive and an effective deterrent.

Now that you have cut me open, and tied my guts to a stake - I'm sorry.

Any further threats you make towards me are meaningless.

If I DON'T run around, WTF fuck else are you going to me to me ?

Like I would care.

Ancient FAKE NEWS.
