Or maybe he worried about what might happen to his son in jail? Or what the son might do when he got back out of jail?<br /><br />I agree, Eli. This was a tragedy with everyone being a victim. There should be free mental health services for those with these sorts of inclinations for the safety of everyone in the community.sandyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953353795729444943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-54502546311815686362009-11-22T19:44:04.767-08:002009-11-22T19:44:04.767-08:00Shrimplate,

But I do think Jack's theory makes sense, otherwise it is hard to come up with a motive that justifies what is clearly a pre-meditated murder. At the very least the police should look into it.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-68419588630696509312009-11-22T11:37:24.172-08:002009-11-22T11:37:24.172-08:00Not all pedophiles were themselves molested.
No d...Not all pedophiles were themselves molested.<br /><br />No doubt, had the boy continued to live he would have continued to abuse other children, all his life, at every chance he got.<br /><br />I myself am conflicted about treatment for pedophiles. Death appears to be the only thing that really stops them. What a gruesome "treatment," if you can call it that.shrimplatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347542266047278227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-56387453529537559052009-11-21T21:17:56.764-08:002009-11-21T21:17:56.764-08:00He should have just pointed the gun barrel directl...He should have just pointed the gun barrel directly at the offending organ and made his son a eunuch.<br /><br />No murder, and no child molester.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-86541878830410254602009-11-20T21:56:40.295-08:002009-11-20T21:56:40.295-08:00Oh, and by the way what's that about marbles n...Oh, and by the way what's that about marbles not adding up?<br /><br />And I thought I was guilty of mixed metaphors.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-74329929275787933332009-11-20T21:53:08.687-08:002009-11-20T21:53:08.687-08:00I hadn't thought about that, Jack.
But you do...I hadn't thought about that, Jack.<br /><br />But you do have a point here. Covering up a crime is a much more likely motive for murder than just being angry at your son, even for something like that.<br /><br />I'm sure the police are considering your theory too, if they aren't they should.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-73132337971415847972009-11-19T14:03:38.211-08:002009-11-19T14:03:38.211-08:00The marbles don't add up here.
Even if he was...The marbles don't add up here.<br /><br />Even if he was really angry at his son and if he detested child molesters that's not a reason to take a gun, obviously intend all the way there to use it and then just plain murder his son.<br /><br />We know that most child molesters first conceived of it because someone else molested them. I'm guessing that the son was molested at an earlier age, either by his father or by someone his father knew was doing it, and he murdered his son because he was afraid of what his son knew and who he might tell it to.<br /><br />I hope I'm wrong about that, but that's the only way I can put the pieces together here that they make sense.Jack Hamptonnoreply@blogger.com
