Dad kills his 15-year-old son

    I am heartbroken for any child who is violated sexually, and can't imagine what my reaction would be if that were my 3-year-old daughter, but I'm appalled a father would strip down his teen son and kill him while the kid begged for his life.

    That is a horrible price to pay, especially considering no one knows what the details are or what this kid was thinking. It seems he confessed to his mom, so maybe he knew he needed help or punishment or something, but what he got was too much.

    Convicted sexual predators don't face the kind of penalty this kid got.

    Not murdered in cold blood, at age 15, by their own father.

    So I take you hope the dad is acquitted?

    I think this is a mess and this father is obviously deeply, deeply disturbed.

    The 15 year old needed his ass kicked and needed sent to a psych ward for a few years, but this is sick.

    The father is obviously disturbed......and now we have a pretty good goddamned idea why the son was disturbed too.

    Gotta question your humanity.

    The hormones of a teenager are a mess. The kid told his mom he did it and knew it was wrong ... it's hardly the act of a sociopath. I woulda whupped his ass 10 ways from Sunday, but being shot to death while you beg your father for your life at the age of 15 ... Jesus, I'm without words.

    Perhaps this guy saved dozens of others from the same fate at the hands of this teen, but I struggle to understand any father who reads this and doesn't feel like throwing up. I wish I hadn't clicked on this fucking thing.

    I'm thinking the same, Lester.

    If one of my sons ever committed a heinous crime, would I want him to be punished? Yes. But not like this, and never would I ever consider administering such a punishment myself.

    Any father that would, in my humble opinion, has no heart and no soul.

    No.

    But I favor moving child rapists, sex predators and people who make child porn to the front of the line for the needle, chair, firing squad, noose or however the state executes the vilest, unredeemable criminals.

    Not defending what the 15-year-old did, but have a heart for Chrissakes.

    No there are no buts. What the dad did was wrong and he should spend the rest of his life in prison.

    Inky, you don't know what the kid did. For god's sake.

    A 15-year-old has 15-year-old friends. I'm guessing they left the signs and bears, mostly. 15-year-olds lost a friend. No one's saying there should be mass fundraising in the kid's name.
