This is just too sad. Father and son didn’t get a long. Poor kid.

[@whatmyohmy]

You should watch the doorbell video it was right after he did it. They augured in the car his son wanted to go to the Keys Florida and invite girls over. His father said no! And than he s h o t and unalived him. Yup I just came from that video. This man is a coward!!!

[@brendamendoza4975]

[@luismancillas2394]

[@winonalovers]

RINGBELL i mean...

[@BushCampingTools]

The father had a history of mental problems

[@conquerunderstanding7517]

If you’re not a father and have adult sons keep your mouth closed. It’s not easy raising men these days. I have one son in college and soon to be a teacher while my other son is 22 smokes weed and can’t keep a job, I had to kick him out twice and the last time he actually tried to hit me but learned real fast old man got hands. When your child tries to hit you allot of things cross your mind. It’s a senseless and tragic incident for this father but certainly a crime of passion. It will haunt him everyday.

[@macdealer7936]

You're toxic. Kicking him out instead of guiding to professionals and therapy. I feel sorry for um to have a father like you.

[@chellebelle914]

Good luck???

[@EddyMm-i5t]

Why would you wish him luck.

[@gc99289]

Depending on the lawyer he could get him 10-15 years.

[@majav15mg]

Good luck probably means “may justice be served”.

This is what happens when you ignore your children’s mental health issues until they are an adult and you can’t control them anymore.
