Watching that father almost had me in tears. I have really tried to avoid this thread because I knew it would get ridiculous. Some people need to realize this is a tragedy for all involved including the young man who did this. There is nothing to indicate this kid is a sadistic psychopath who decided to carry out an urge, something mentally has snapped inside. There is a very strong chance this kid does not even remember doing it. If I remember correctly the murder weapon was just left at the scene, you don't do do that if you have any concious thought of your actions. So my sympathy's go out to this young man too who probably does not remember doing this and is now left without a future, and huge amounts of grief and fear. Mental health issues are tough and they can come on fast or go undiagnosed so easily. I have been to suicides where the family cannot believe their loved one would do such a thing because there was nothing wrong, or so they thought. I know mentally ill people here in my city that can't remember what they did an hour ago but can remember what they did last week on Tuesday at 9:38 pm on the nose. We have one lady that lives on the street (nicknamed Crazy Mary) that pushes her belongings around in a grocery cart and sometimes is as sweet as pie and other times has no idea where she is, where she was, or even who the hell she is. On nights when I work I can always find her in this walkdown to a store that is not in use and I bring her a box of the old doughnuts that Tim Horton's is going to toss and sometimes she is very thankful and sometimes she swears at me. I feel bad for all involved in this, everybody is a victim here. Some people should not be saying the things they said if they don't understand mental health.
