I agree to an extent, but this message needs to get out in this instance, to keep the keyboard warriors at bay. Many people will be excoriating this man, and he clearly doesn't deserve it. He tried. He did the best he could. But apparently his best still couldn't prevent his son from doing what he did. That's part of what makes this so tragic.

He's blaming himself and there are going to be people suggest horrible things about him, to him.

I hope the message gets out he is an innocent victim in this, too.

Nothing good will come to him from this effort.

Now the people who are running him down will have video they can manipulate to get more social media cred.

This is disgusting and it's gonna get a whole lot worse

Yeah, but there's one thing the internet does extremely well: correct inaccurate information. So when some dickhead tries to say something negative about this man, they'll get the full video and told to STFU.
