After watching this stupid, pea-brained, short-sighted and bigot video, PLEASE don’t prosecute this kid. He did nothing wrong.

If the so called justice system needs to hang their hat on something, fine. 10 days probation.

What kind of a mother do you have to be before the courts give full custody to a Nazi and bar you from visiting?

Dude. Not cool.

My first thought was that being brought up in an environment of violent rhetoric which encourages the treatment of other people as sub-human scum is not likely to inculcate a respect for human life in a child. Add a nasty custody battle during the formative years and you’ve got one messed-up kid even if there was no actual abuse. For all we know the father told the kid he couldn’t have any dessert because he hadn’t cleaned his room and the kid decided that this was an appropriate response.

It’s horrible all around.

Or it could have been like my maiden great-aunt Lettie’s full given name – aqnd she was completely WASP, including the sting. Moral: don’t play into stereotypes.

Sure being a Neo-Nazi makes the guy an idiot but I doubt his politics were the cause of this. His son was ten years old - whatever reasons he had for killing his father must have been personal not ideological.

So we have a man who’s dead and a boy who’s scarred for life. I can’t feel the glee that some people seem to have. To me this is just a tragedy.

Perhaps the court is a member of the same group the father was in covertly … old boy network, hmmmmm? Hate to say that Blind Justice has a little armband with a swastica on it … but shit like that does happen. I got fired from a job because I wasnnt a scientologist and had just broken up with my scientologist BF, who was a friend of the scientologist that owned the company I had been working for the prevous 8 months without incedent …

She didn’t even have visitation rights. Sure, there was a molestation claim, but it’s unsubstantiated. As sad as the whole thing is, this part has me really scratching my head.

You mean like [Letitia Pate Evans](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lettie_Pate_Whitehead_Evans), the lady who founded the scholarship that sent me to college? I assure you, she was so white it would make your teeth hurt.

Cuz that’s not a typical straight-up white girl name in my experience (counter-examples in this thread notwithstanding).

It reminded me of the Dave Chappelle skit where he’s a black blind white supremacist who thought he was white. Upon finding out the truth, he divorces his wife for “being a nigger-lover.”
