Yea absolutely I do. First of all, it takes a certain type of mentality to execute your naked son in front of his mother. We can all talk about how we'd like to kill people that do horrible things, but few people are capable of carrying through with an execution style killing of a stranger, much less a loved one. To me this shows the father has some wires crossed somewhere.

Secondly, it is natural for humans to place the guilt of their own bad deeds onto others. Father molests or touches boy, boy gets older and touches girl, father is overcome with guilt he can not deal with so he places all the blame on the boy. If this were the scenario then it would follow suit that the father was molested as a boy as well. Child molestation is largely a vicious circle.

Its not like there is a big child molester's club (NAMBLA, lol) where they get together and talk about how they like fresh asshole. Most molesters feel great shame over their deeds but for whatever reason feel compelled to keep going. Those that do not are most likely sociopaths, and they make up a very small percentage of the population. A sociopath would not likely have enough emotional capacity to react in the way this father did...because he simply wouldn't care.

I see your point. Like mentioned above, the real loser in this case is the kids mom.

1 in 25 people are thought to be Sociopaths. 1 in 25 is a scarily large number of people..

This was my thought.

What a horrible situation.

[z06boy]

The father should be punished I agree ALTHOUGH I can't really blame him for wanting to do it...however you just can't do that and not expect to be prosecuted.

I feel bad for the mother/wife...she's lost her son and husband. I also feel bad for the child and their family.

As far as comparing it to putting down a dog...well that's wrong too in most cases but that's a whole 'nuther can of worms all together.

that pretty much sums it up. very hard to imagine being in that situation. you would be so pissed at him and yet embarrassed and yet..........but you still can't do that.

and how the hell can you pull a trigger on your own child? I don't care what they've done how could you do that?
