Welcome to the Internet, where anyone can claim to be anything to bolster the perceived legitimacy of their comments.
Most people, being trusting, accept what they read on the Internet as true.
It won’t surprise you to learn that those who oppose civil rights aren’t immune to using deception – or outright fabrication – in their online “advocacy”.
Meet Nancy Garcia Alvarado. She’s from Chicago – or so she says on her Facebook page – home of some of America’s strictest gun control and some of America’s deadliest streets. Speaking of Chicago, the Windy City racked up four homicides among 39 people shot this past weekend – and nary a one of the bad guys doing the shooting had concealed carry licenses!
She’s a public school teacher, but in commenting on an anti-gun Facebook page in a post about the Washington State kid who opened fire in his school because he was turned down asking a girl to date him, she wrote the following:
Nancy Garcia Alvarado C I am a Child Psychologist, and know that children who start killing innocent animals early in life, thanks to their hunter parents, will later go on killing other living creatures, including people, very easily, without remorse or guilt. Killing becomes very natural to them, very sad.
Child Psychologist, huh?
And I’m an Olympic gold-medalist.
So, according to her “expertise,” there should be millions of us wanting to kill people. I’m not finding them.
Maybe she meant that she is a child, who is a psychologist.
I bet she has more than one cat.

Sam I think your probably right thanks for the laugh!
And she didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn? The sick thing is she believes she is smart and wants to teach kids this garbage!
Please keep her in Chicago away from my kids!
She’s moved down to Texas, according to her facebook page.
I’m sure the locals just love her attitudes on guns.
“‘Nother GD Yankee!” they probably grumble.
It’s no wonder she’s still single.
Sam
I guess she was not good at math.
She’s a sick and lonely nut trying to impress others. she should try online dating or play bingo or something.
Put sunglasses on a catfish, you’ll get a better looking face than on that democrat. Remove the hook, first.
LMAO! I just spit water all over my computer monitor.
“children who start killing innocent animals early in life, thanks to their hunter parents”
As opposed, say, to children who start killing people in Grand Theft Auto and a thousand other games, for hours a day, for years as they grow up, instead of going hunting with their parents?
I wonder which subset has the higher murder rate?
To be completely fair and unbiased, I respectfully disagree with this statement.
There have been studies that do link aggression to video games, but in the sense of frustration (Not doing well in a game or having ‘unfair’ outcomes in a game). In fact, there have been other studies that show video games (yes, even the violent ones) have a positive affect on people. In one study, “researchers found that the playing the video games actually had a very slight calming effect on youths with attention deficit symptoms — and helped to reduce aggressive and bullying behavior.” (http://psychcentral.com/news/2013/08/27/in-new-study-video-games-not-tied-to-violence-in-high-risk-youth/58934.html). Another studied showed that adolescents who play ‘violent’ video games like Call of Duty or Halo actually had a positive affect on rapid decision making over people who played ‘non-violent’ games. (http://greenlab.psych.wisc.edu/documents/Increasing-speed-of-processing-with-action-video-games(Dye-Green-Bavelier-2009).pdf)
In my honest opinion, it’s not the video games or the movies or the rock n’ roll music that leads people to violence. It’s poor parenting. It’s people who do not pass on the ideology to respect and value life. It’s the parents who are too busy with their own life to give a damn about what’s going on with their kids. It’s a sad day when a kid feels like he has to resort to killing others or himself in order to ‘make things right.’
I wasn’t necessarily slamming video games (ok, maybe I guess I was); more the kids who are left on their own to grow up in front of the screen or with their “peers” for guidance; vs. those who spend time with their parents, hunting.
Ok, we’re on the same page then. Kids left to their own accord because their parents are too busy/don’t give a damn vs. kids who have involved parents…
As an avid video game player myself, the whole “the video games are making our kids violent” argument holds about as much weight as the “let’s ban guns to prevent crazy people from shooting up innocent people.”
I just wanted to show that there have been studies showing that video games aren’t the cause (what?! backing up statements with facts?! I think somewhere a liberal’s head just exploded!).
That page made my head hurt. How many variations of ‘Hunting is cruel, just get your meat from the store’ can there be?
