Los Angeles father kills gay son

[Steve C.]

It's shocking this hasn't been reported by most American media yet. This is from Associated Press. Totally horrible...

But who killed the wife/mother??  Why do the all the articles not mention that?!

[Steve C.]

Tag, the article says the mother was repeatedly stabbed but police could not find a knife anywhere, I guess thinking the son would not have had time to discard it, and thinking that the father killed his ailing wife and then the son. But you are right, more facts must be discovered.

[Mister Matt]

There are far too few facts to jump to the conclusion of the headline.  Perhaps his father did it and for that reason, but the article is trying to present hearsay as fact and judgment way too soon.

I agree Tag and Mister Matt, the reporting on this story - if one reads beyond the headline which so few seem to do these days; we live in a click bait age - leaves important questions unaddressed about what the investigation's theory is:

Did the father kill the mother as well and why?
Did the son kill the mother and if so why?
Is there anything to the justification claim by the father in defense of the mother's life?

In short the headline and simplistically reported prosecutorial conclusion looks like a very different kind of set of known reported facts.

So it turns out the father killed the mother and then later killed the son to cover up the first murder.  His sexuality was not the main factor in this crime.

Thanks again, T. truth did finally come out. You keep us up to date!

Yeah, I think it is shoddy Journalism to report knee jerk reactions without having all the facts.
