Florida father with assault weapon forces wife to watch as he kills two sons

127. I've heard the "preserve the family" line as well.

Usually, it's an easy out for everyone except the tormented family members. Bottom line: the kids will ALWAYS be better off not exposed to an abusive parent with anger problems.

Republicans don't care about poor people, minorities, women, or children once they pop out of the womb. Instead, the money saved by doing nothing for them could go to corporations and wealthy individuals. Things need to change.

Agree completely that more money is needed to address this, to protect the family members from the abuser, and to get mental health care for the abuser. Throwing a gun into such a situation of course doesn't help.

I wonder what today's kids are going to be like when they grow up. Particularly the ones being raised in a household where the parents spew hate speech, anti-government, anti-gay, etc., thoughts constantly. I think it's only going to get worse until a generation grows up where they are taught equality and fairness for all, respect for others, and acceptance of those who aren't just like them.
