Anyone care to take a WAG on who the kid voted for in the last two elections (if, indeed, he could get off of the sofa to vote).

“I’m not blaming the parents...”

Why not? It MIGHT be wrong, but it’s a good bet.

That Harvard Business School degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on since he couldn’t calculate how much his allowance will decrease while in the pen.

This is another death that could have been avoided with sensible gun control laws. /S

[bgill]

It’s doubtful since mom turned him in.

[ozzymandus]

How’d he get a gun in NYC? Ain’t that illegal?

[Blood of Tyrants]

SMH. Maybe he could get an education and get a job?

[VRWCarea51]

He should have just sued his dad. Courts would have give him thousands a month. At least the sack jobs across the river.

didn’t want 400/month, so now i bet her gets nothing. smart kid

Probably junked up on Ritalin as a kid and now, in spite of a good education is struggling as a adult. Have a friend who has a son about the same age ... as a child he was diagnosed with ADHD ... Ritalin was the popular drug at the time to remedy the disorder. Today this young man is having a difficult time of it ... just can't seem to get it together and requires therapy.

[BOOHA]

He will be real popular in Attica.
Lines will be long in the yard!

His mother said: “well I guess I won’t have grandchildren.”

[Vendome]

I only pray he had less than 7 rounds in the magazine...

“”Is the kid mentally disabled in some way?””

These aren’t the actions of a person who is ALL THERE!! If the guy could order his mother around to go OUT and get him a sandwich then I would assume she will spend a lot of money for a top drawer attorney to defend him against the murder charge. She should just leave it to a Public Defender...

“”Boyce said that the woman told police her son’s address and they immediately ordered a search warrant, but waited until they saw lights go on inside the residence before entering. Inside they found “a substantial amount of physical evidence” including loose rounds of bullets and two magazines that matched the weapon that had allegedly been placed on his father’s chest.””

“Probably junked up on Ritalin as a kid...”

Now we’re getting to the RUT of the problem. I suspect that the parents were SO BUSY making the big bucks that they had no time to PROPERLY RAISE the kid...and so they had their family therapist simply dope the kid.

...obviously the kid is (or certainly appears to be) the killer, but maybe the parents could have done a bit better too.

At what age is receiving money from one’s parent no longer considered getting an allowance?

[Defiant]

David Spade killed his father?

[Larry Lucido]

Kid’s an orphan. Go easy on him.
