OMG how can someone kill his own son?... what a mad story... realy... thx for posting this Joshua... I haven't heard and don't know anything about the background of this story... but... is it true what "MrHarvardstudent" wrote?

[jshephard88]

Yes, it's true. But he doesn't know the ENTIRE thing, just responding at "face value." I forgive him, though. It's all good.

[MrHarvardstudent]

Do you know why you say that it doesn't justify it? because the 15 year old boy didn't molest someone close to you . No disrespect, I hear you saying that you played with him. But molesting a 3 year old at the age of 15 tells me that your the kinda person that should never be around kids. In the world we live in? There is kids and will be kids everywhere. He will protect them from people like him? the cops? please, pedophiles get arrested and come back out and do it all over again.

[jshephard88]

to mrHarvardstudent: HUH??? Last time I played with the boy was nearly a decade ago. And I have faced children, even today, in detention centers who have committed worse acts than this. They DO deserve a second chance; not to be shot down like a dog, ESPECIALLY by their own father.

On top of that, even if someone close to me was molested, of course I would be very angry! To the extent of killing?? NEVER. Why? Because it's still murder, and look at the outcome: Daddy's in jail. Whoop-de-doo.

@MrHarvardstudent to even admit to doing that to a 3 yr old, let alone your own sister, but he came out to him mom in a cry for help. That does not excuse it or make it ok but for asll you know he was a victim at 3 or some age. If he asked for help, he should have been given help, even if they sent him to an institution. The father came over there with the intent to kill his son if it was true, he didnt jst happen to b there, he went there with a gun, planning to kill his own son. It's not right

[jshephard88]

Thank u!! You see what I mean!

god bless and save his soul

That little nigga got what was coming to him. A lot of tax payers money was save

The murdered boy admitted to his mother that he inappropriately touched his half sister. He felt remorse. The father had been extremely abusive to this child in the past, beating him to the point neighbors can hear screams from outside the house. Secondly, why the boy’s mother and on lookers did not try to band together to apprehend the father. No one threw a rock, or even banded together to force the father to stop. Whatever, he did or did not do, it does not justify Murder!!

How are you going to but a story out then not tell the full details. I know the full details but check this out, I don't care who you are, if you rape my child I will leave your body for the police. The father made a decision and its obvious he is willing to live with it. WE can sit here forever carrying on about if he was right or wrong. The bottom line is that young boy violate his 3 yr sister and he paid with his life. Who is the biggest monster, I will let GOD make that decision!

@tjac59 the thing is that its wronfg ESPECIALLY since its his own child. I think it was wrong and his fater should be sent away for the rest of his life...AND burn in hell

[tjac59]

LQQK!! That boy was trying to beat his father down. He would always try to fight his dad. That boy was very disrespectful. He got what was coming to him. If u disobey your parents and the boy was a thug. The boy was no stranger to the law. Remember fool, the pattern of like u lead will manifest itself upon you, sooner or later. And it dosen't matter if it was a relative or not. That gang banger got what he desire.

You all want to know why it was that easy for the father to shoot his own son? Because the piece of shit was a criminal at heart even before what he did. The fuck was he doing with a gun in the first place. He shows no remorse or compassion for what he did. Those are the symptoms of a cold blooded criminal.

[deelberg]

You are right man The kid was 15 I as a father would have send him to a mental hospital or to a foundation like you work in. IF he had been my son and in his 20s and molested my kid he'd be dead.

[diamond091000]

I watched this trial on court tv and was glad the father was convicted... my prayers are with the mother of jamar jr...
