Maybe the parents had it coming. We dont know the whole story.
Are you serious? Blaming the parents for their child being harmed? Thats a dangerous mindset to have. We should never justify violence against anyone, especially not a child. Lets show empathy and understanding instead of jumping to conclusions.
What if the parents were actually the aggressors? Just playing devils advocate here.
Maybe they had it coming. Who knows what really happened there.
Wow, what if it was self-defense? We dont know the full story yet.
Hey, lets not jump to conclusions. Self-defense or not, violence is never the answer. We should wait for all the facts before making assumptions. Lets strive for a more compassionate and understanding approach.
This is just heartbreaking. I wonder if theres a deeper motive behind the murders.
Maybe some people are just evil. No need to overanalyze every tragedy. Just accept that some individuals are capable of unspeakable acts without a grand motive. Its a sad reality, but overthinking wont bring back the victims.
I cant believe the article didnt mention the familys pet parrot as a suspect.
I think the parents provoked their son; theres more to this story.
I cant believe the son did that. What could drive someone to such extremes?
What could drive a son to commit such a heinous act? Shocking and tragic.
What could drive someone to such a heinous act? Mental illness? Anger? Its disturbing.
This is so heartbreaking. What could drive someone to do such a thing?
This is truly devastating. How could someone do such a horrific thing to their own parents?
Unfortunately, some people are capable of unspeakable acts, even against their own family. Its a harsh reality that we must confront. Lets hope justice prevails and the victims receive the support they need during this difficult time.
