Although the victim was no angel, one can easily understand the rage of the father. Hopefully the perps will all burn in Hell, and soon.

[Anonymous Rex]

The perp admitted to killing the guys son in a plea deal. Turn him over to the family of the kid he murdered and be done with it.

[Badeye]

The father should have directed that rage at his live son, who went where he shouldn’t have, to buy what he shouldn’t have.

I’m not excusing the punks that did this. I’m surprised they left off the death penalty specification.

Gotta a very good friend who’s son is in rehab for the fifth (5th) time. His mother is the enabler, and I suspect his story will eventually end similiarly.

Mike Sweat kept crying and saying he had to tell his grandkids that their father was dead, Abdalla said.

Maybe he should also tell them not to go and try to buy drugs in back alleys.

[TonyInOhio]

Amen.

[George from New England]

The murdered kid was buying drugs. How much of a father was this guy?

[theDentist]

I’d expect they already learned that lesson the hard way. I’d say the father’s statement (diving across a desk to strangle the sumbich) had the greatest impact.

The family who lost it in court are the in-laws of my co-worker. They are good people whose son took a wrong turn. Nobody should be killed by another just because you are an addict.
33 year sentence, of which he will be out in less than 15.
The judge basically told these people that their son was only worth 15 years of this perps life. I would have gone off on him too.

even drug users have the right to live.....

God bless this father and I hope more fathers become immensely active in their kids lives, showing what the real reason for their testosterone ....to protect women and children.....

[Badeye]

Debatable. Especially when you realize just how much crime, of all types, are traced back to them.

[ChocChipCookie]

Do you hold yourself responsible for everything your children do? Trust me, young people caught up in drug addiction come from every walk of life and sometimes even from loving and supportive homes. Assuming this man was a poor father based on the sole fact that his son was buying drugs is way too judgmental.

[hophead]

“How much of a father was this guy?”

I bet you don’t have kids!

[hophead]

“How much of a father was this guy?”

Have you EVER known a family who had a kid that did drugs? Do you lay the cloak of “bad parent” on everyone whose kids get in trouble? There are things parents do not have control of, especially adult children.

[JamesA]

Take the punk out and hang him and let his body swing till it rots and decays and falls to the ground. Feed the ants and other creepy crawlers with whats left.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Wow. Sometimes the lack of compassion here stinks. My prayers for this father and his family.

[Stoat]

The family who lost it in court are the in-laws of my co-worker. They are good people whose son took a wrong turn.

I'm so very sorry....what an absolutely awful thing.....

May God Bless them and may they one day find Peace amid their suffering and pain.

I have given this situation some thought and if I’m ever in the gallery, watching the murderer of my relative sitting before me I have a solution.
He/she won’t live to serve the sentence.

[hophead]

“Debatable. Especially when you realize just how much crime, of all types, are traced back to them.”

I would bet you work with people who do drugs and ARE NOT responsible for “crime of all types”. That statement is just stupid!

There are millions of happy, productive and family people who do drugs responsibly and without incident.
