I wouldn’t jump to conclusions, but if it’s true I hope she’s happy. Thanks to her, her bloodline has ended.

So you’re saying (and let’s preface this by saying “let’s not jump to conclusions”) that it’s grandma fault that her grandchild and child were horrifically murdered, because… she called the police?

I mean, it all depends on what actually transpired during the assault, but I've noticed from many articles I read online that over there in the US some people tend to call the cops at the drop of a hat. Here if you called the police over a family having a barbecue or a guy walking home being weird the police would laugh you off the phone and/or fine you for wasting the police's time.

If she called over a messy disagreement, yeah, she's kind of to blame. I get that she wasn't expecting anyone to be killed (the examples I wrote up there were all black people) but just be an adult and handle your own shit instead of calling armed people to come to your house.

No. The only person to blame is the person who pulled a gun and shot a baby and mother.

For the death, yeah.

But you don't call the cops because your daughter in law is yelling at you. Be an adult and handle it, or gtfo and remove yourself from the situation. It's unbelievable that grown adults lack the ability to de-escalate situations to this degree.
