I would think, any father would have the same response.
He’s searching for answers right now.
But he should have instilled into his son, that this kind of violence is certainly not the answer.
Antonios Pagourtzis is too dumb to live in Texas. Deport him to California
True!! - He should have been placed in a mental institution long ago, IMHO.
Hmmm. No mention of drugs (legal or otherwise).
Well they have to say that in order for any leniency when he's convicted.They know he did it.. This is why they asked to be alone, so they could prepare what they would be feeding the news and begin his defense by what they say. I'm not buying it as this is the new excuse for kids who teens who murder fellow students, or people in general.
Oh barf.
That father doesn’t get that a 17 year old is not a “child”-and he is not accepting he deserves a failing grade in parenting-denial isn’t just a river in Egypt...
Shame. Dads delusional
In Junior High I was bullied. I fought back with my fists. Sometimes I won sometimes I lost. One day I really lost it mentally. I did not use my fists. I grabbed the miserable prick by the neck. I started pounding his head on the floor. I had enough. I really wanted to hurt him. Fortunately some other students realized I might really hurt him. In the past they were quite content to watch a fist fight. They pulled me off of him before I could have done permanent damage.
This was in South Louisiana in the early sixties. I was from Texas. I was never messed with again. They said, "That Texan is bad when mad."
Bullying is just part of growing up. Girls bully also but rarely physical. They are really vicious when attacking each other with words. Guys will kick the Sierra out of each other and it is over. Sometimes they become friends as they have come to respect each other.

Dimitrios Pagourtzis is a ‘victim’ of his parents slothful parenting.
He was raised on Ritalin. That means that they bailed out on parenting, and allowed their son to be drugged into placid submission.
They should share in the penalty as accomplices.

GTFO my country ...
Hey Pops, did you ever happen to tell the kid what happens to young white falla’s in American prisons?
Bet not eh?
The parents of these monsters have the responsibility to control them, not the tens of millions of freedom loving Americans gun owners.
Just a family twisting things to try to get their son off when he has committed a horrible offense and killed ten people. The kid is a slob and what the father says has no relevance.
They raised a snowflake...one that had a meltdown. This support is exactly why he’s a snowflake, they were never hard on him. He didn’t have the tools to handle “mistreatment” but had access to guns.
I think all this coddling, throughout the school system and by this generation of parents, is what is causing these kids to snap. Their rage is x10 because they’re snowflakes.
Not much of a father Antonios. Your son is a murderer. Wake up.
And now we know what was wrong with the kid.
I think the parents are bewildered and wish the attorney had advised them against speaking to the media. Would not be surprised to learn the guns had been secured.
The Facebook and Instagram captures I've seen suggest the boy employed some duplicity.
Hard to believe no one investigated him over the coat in warm weather...right out of the movies.
Columbine copycats are to be expected ...especially when fools commemorate shootings with marches. Yet there does seem to be a revenge motive here.
He should kill his son then so all the “victims” will be equal.
