31. Dad whined his son won't get to 'mentor children' anymore. He shouldn't be around children at all.

Daddy is likely in denial. From what I saw of his record today, which was probably just a fraction of it, shows this was a disaster in the making.

I'd believe GZ more than his father and friends the way they've been trying to spin this. We haven't heard from him, and we won't until this gets to trial.

Your argument about what this an 'illegal' party was. That makes sense. And since they were breaking the law, they wouldn't have made a report of this assault.
