I want to see the parents come forward and share their story so perhaps at least one life will be saved. Maybe one family or neighbor or something will relate and take different steps. I want to know what help they got. Did the system fail them? Did the parents not realize how far gone he was? What meds was he on? What therapy did he get? What is the parents' political belief system? What do they wish they had done differently? How did he get the gun? How do they feel about gun control? What is their message to others who have family members with similar issues to their son?

Also, IMO they need acknowledge this happened and express their horror and remorse over the pain their child caused.

While we are at it, if it was their gun, they should be held accountable. If people are so in love with their guns then they need to protect them properly and pay the price when they don't.

Their son is currently in critical condition at the hospital with life threatening injuries and he has been accused of murdering 2 people. I would imagine that they are struggling to process all of that.

Oh, cry me an effing river! Those people raised that asshole - should we be also sorry for them? I, for one, am not. They got everything they deserve, and then some.

I'm 21:37/22:52, are you talking about me? If it's true that they go to a school for kids with social/emotional disturbance, I specifically support that information not coming out for the sake of other students at the school, so I'm not asking anymore questions.

Talking about the person who has asked which school 10000x andvstarted a few couple of (deleted) threads.

Ah, that's not me.

I think it's REALLY premature, and probably uncalled for, to blame the parents. When you have a troubled child, it's really hard to know what's the right path to take -- there are really no great options, and even the "best" options usually offer only some possibility.

But I do think that the public should know how he got that gun. There is a MAJOR MAJOR problem in this country with people who should not have guns having guns. Like the shooters in Denver, Tucson, Sandy Hook, etc., there is no way this kid should have had access to a gun. We need to know how he got it. I'm sick of people saying it's tacky to ask that question after a shooting. It's irresponsible not to ask that question, and it should be the first question asked and answered.

The problem is there is nothing you can do until someone commits a crime like say the swastika incident or they make a threat. People are entitled to their beliefs.

Is it actually a crime to mow a swastika in the grass of a community field?

Of course it is. It's a hate crime.

No. If you put it on a church or synagogue it is, but not a community field.

DP. You have no clue what you are talking about.

§ 18.2-423.1. Placing swastika on certain property with intent to intimidate; penalty; prima facie evidence of intent.

It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, with the intent of intimidating another person or group of persons, to place or cause to be placed a swastika on any church, synagogue or other building or place used for religious worship, or on any school, educational facility or community center owned or operated by a church or religious body.

Thanks for chiming in, Richard Spencer.

Probably a precaution. I notified Animal Allies and asked them to call and if the dog is still there, to find an emergency foster.

Thank you. What a heartbreaking story and the fact that the family pet is in a concrete cage somewhere makes it even worse.

A dog in a concrete cage is so much more important than two dead humans. People befor animals you idiot.

It boggles my mind that some on here are zeroing in on the child’s loss of his dog, over the child’s violent loss of his parents.

I love animals, but it’s proof of how emotionally stunted “dog people” are.

There is nothing anyone can do to get the child his parents back, or change what happened.
There is a possibility that his dog can be made sure to be well taken care, and available for him to be with it should it be possible in the future.

Perhaps that is why some people are talking about it.

This. My own kids love our dogs. In a horrible situation like this one I would think that it would be a great comfort to the family (and the boy in particular) to know that the dog was being cared for personally in a loving foster home.

The family has a f**ked up teenager to deal with, the traumatic death of two family members, and a traumatized adult child and 9 year old child. I suspect they may be a teensy bit overwhelmed and are not thinking of whether or not Phideaux is in a "loving foster home."

A likely scenario. Which is probably why PPs brought it up. Hoping the dog doesn't get lost in the shuffle. A lot of bad things happened, lots of bad decisions - here's one more thing we should try not to F up if we can help it.

You're just being a busy body. This is a tragedy between two families and while the community thinks it is entitled to all the answers, they really aren't. Domestic violence, plain and simple.

+1 The PP is not the community ethics commission who decides who must do what. The kid is likely to die, and you aren't going to get much until that happens. Even then it isn't anyone's business except the legal systems.

Fairfax County has a kill shelter, so the dog probably doesn't have long.

That was my first thought. The other poster who wants the parents to be paraded publicly into a tell all, right now, right away, is also fishing for information.

The poster who said that the shooter's dad is on Facebook. Has the shooter even been identified?

[Anonymous]

Whether he is critically ill or not, they will have to charge and arraign him soon. It will be done in the hospital. I guarantee he will be tried as an adult.

These idiots are responsible for less than 1% of violent crime, so settle down folks.

You alarmists remind me of the Fox crowd afraid of going to the mall because a Muslim might attack them.

I watch fox and I go to the mall. Stop with your divisive crap.

A Fox viewer calling someone divisive...lol

Watch out for those bad hombres next time you are at Taco Bell!

DP. The shooter hasn't been officially identified but you can find his name, if you know how to Google. Seems to have come from a large white-collar Italian family. Republicans, of course.
