[h=1]Father Kills 14 Year-Old Son: 'He Would Rather Have a Dead Son Than a Gay Son'[/h]
[FONT=&quot]A Nevada father shot and killed his 14-year-old son because he couldn’t accept his son's sexual orientation, according to the son's former foster mom.[/FONT]

What a tragedy.
 
The 14-year-old was living alone?

Poor kid. :(
 
they named the boy "Giovanni"
what the hell did the dad expect


 
Is this sad story true?

Hard to believe such neanderthals still live in this country but there are a few on this forum that hold similar views, even if they might not resort to violence.
 
Horrible story. I hope he gets the harshest sentence available.

True in the fact that a father shot his son. It was the foster mom, who already hated the dad who made the quote, "I'm sure that inside of his mind, he would rather have a dead son than a gay son."
 
Yes, Dittohead, many tragidies occur daily in these United States. Which one is a person going to pick out to highlight, for their thespian Hollywood role of being the "caring person"? The one that they think can best be used to advance their own political agendas I would hazard the guess.




Take this little boy, who I read about many, many days ago but never posted because I knew not a single person on this site would give a flying rats behind about him (your opinions of me are a greater concern for *your hearts* than this little 8 year-old boy--save your lies and excuses for Jesus when you meet him.)

This young boy is also an LA story. One of the many tragic LA stories. And it seems to be a Latino story and liberal story and a Democratic Party "I hate Trump story." So, that means his death--and torture before then--can be swept under the rug and dismissed by the "caring" Democrats.

I have no political allegiance to either party. Murdering your child or your girlfriend's child is heinous no matter what political flag you wave. No matter if you are a pro-LGBTQ libertarian.

The amount of wickedness that goes on in this country is unparalleled among any of the rich countries. The United Kingdom is a collection of countries and just the tiny City of Milwaukee alone produces more numbers of violent crime news, demented news, than the whole of the UK. Now you factor in every major city (let alone smaller towns) in the USA from NYC to Chicago to LA and see how far those news stories in numbers skyrockets to the moon. I rarely watch the news any more it is so depressing and a repeat of the same.

Defendant Tortured Gabriel Fernandez to Death Because He Thought Child Was Gay, Prosecutor Alleges

A man who is accused of torturing his girlfriend's 8-year-old son to death killed the child because he thought the boy was gay, a Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office prosecutor said during opening statements Monday.

The boy's own mother allowed the torture and abuse to go on.


Prosecutor Jon Hatami detailed the acts allegedly committed by Aguirre and the boy's mother, Pearl Fernandez, who also faces trial.

Hatami explained that the Palmdale couple beat Gabriel, bit him, burned him with cigarettes, whipped him, shot him with a B.B. gun, starved him, fed him cat litter, and kept him gagged and bound in this cubby until he was found on May 22, 2013. The couple called first responders to treat Gabriel, but that was only in an attempt to mislead, the prosecutor said.

I could have been a better mother to that young boy than his biological mother. Fact is I can be a mother and a father and plenty of mothers in these USA's are wicked women. It's just not the fathers. You only have to read the many news stories of abusive and/or neglecting mothers. It's ridiculous.

One who knows Italian can correct me if I am wrong. But isn't "Giovanni" Italian for "John"?

Also... I don't quite see how the name "Giovanni" is "gay" to you? To me it sounds "playerish." But that's just me.
 
First thought was "Oh, no, not another honor killing"...and I suppose it was.

Tragic and heart breaking...can you even begin imagine the weight of that rejection. The boy's last moments would have been unimaginable, but I can't think the rest of his life was all that much better.

Roy Moore, who just won the Republican Primary in Alabama, stated in an interview that he believed homosexuality should be illegal. Unfortunately, these backwards-thinking types still exist.

Sick people out there, just sick. For the last 2 Christmas celebrations with my family, we have included a friend of my niece whose parents disconnected from him because he is gay. Any parent that would do this to their own child shouldn't ever have a family, just vile people out there.

I have a step-grandson who just recently announced to his parents that he is gay. His natural mother doesn't like it, but has accepted his choice. His step father as well. And I have also accepted it. Not because I think he is doing the right thing. He is not. But because I refuse to be the source of his unhappiness. He does not know how I really feel, and that's just the way I like it. Then there is a 40 something nephew, same story on my attitude toward his choice.

You mean his choice to be gay or his choice to announce it?
 
On a Liekert scale of "mans inhumanity to man" this barely registers a 6. How sad is that?
 
There are some people in this world that are just plain evil.

Perhaps, but the ego on some people can get so out of kilter that things you would think would not escalate to this level do escalate to this level in short order. When I was a little kid, this guy one of my brothers was friends with was shot to death by his father in a dispute over him coming in late. The father then tried to make it look like a suicide. Father went to prison because Sheriff pretty quickly realized it was almost completely impossible for him to have shot himself in the chest with the rifle used in the kitchen as it was when they found it.

A friend of mine's daughter is 20 and transitioning from female to male, the dad couldn't handle it, divorced the mom and is a jerk. The bonus is that he is a singer and has recorded an album and regularly tours, and you would never realize that he is trans.

Its not a choice believe that one. I would have loved to have born straight, but I was given no choice.

Yes, news across the US (let alone every country on earth), shows cruelty frequently.

Like what happened to this boy by his mother:

Prosecutors: Mom fatally set 4-year-old son on fire in bathtub
Click to expand...

MILWAUKEE -- Prosecutors allege a Milwaukee woman killed her 4-year-old son by setting him on fire in a bathtub in their apartment.
Click to expand...

According to the complaint, authorities were called about smoke at DiStasio's south side apartment Sept. 28 and found her son Antonio's burned and lifeless body in the bathtub. His hands had been bound behind his back with seven belts, and a plastic garbage bag was over his head. An open bottle of cooking oil was in the bathroom.

But this is that Hollywood Weinstien stuff. By that I mean people acting fake. There are so many stories of parents abusing or killing their children so why pick a particular one? The "why"? Furthermore, you can evidence a bias by what you don't post or report. Say, if I'm a white racist and the only posts I make are on black criminals. Likewise, I know as fact there lots of brutal, mean, liberals or Democrats in the "hood" that are "homophobic." So, why is not one posting how pro-Obama people from "the hood" or in America's male prisons abuse homosexual males? Because like the white racist it does not promote their agenda. Period.

I was a summer or two ago listening to some cats speaking about some guy they knew (lived in the hood too I guess). Apparently the guy was gay and open about it. And they were talking about him because he was founded murdered. Apparently, whoever murdered him raped his butthole with sticks or a bat or something.

And mothers. There are plenty of news stories from all over the USA of horrific mothers. American kids that would be lucky to be raised by Putin. This 14 year-old would have been better off raised by Putin.

(I'm very pro-Latino, that does not mean I over look if a Latino couple tortures and kills their child.)
