People say and do things when they are grief-stricken that - I think- ill give them a pass. At least for awhile anyway.

Agreed. My son died in 2005. He didn't die this way and I didn't act this way, but this man is beside himself and desperate for comfort, whether it's clapping audiences or anti-gun celebrities, wherever he can find it.

That he is in public this soon after his child's death is, to me, unusual and incomprehensible. Most people whose child was just murdered are balls of mush in bed trying to escape this world, not in any way interested in interacting with anyone.

A mentally deranged person killed his child. It's too easy to blame the tool the perpetrator used. Whether it is a rope, a gun, a knife or a buttload of pills mixed with a drink, the problem is the person, not his method.

Agree.
Losing a child must be horrendous, I can’t imagine it (thank God).
Getting in front of a microphone is incomprehensible.
Prayers for you and your son.

I lost a daughter.
When I look back at that time - at things I said and did, I think, “wow! People must have thought I was nuts”

And they would’ve been right - because for awhile - I was!
