The [redacted for Art's grammaw] family wants the cops to put up a memorial to him where they shot him.
Thank God this murderer/rapist is dead. He had it coming.
If a child of mine had done this, I'd be calling a news conference to apologize profusely to the families of the slain officers, state that the police did what they had to do, my son/daughter gave them no choice in the matter, and that I'll be forever baffled as to just what exactly was wrong with my child.
OTOH, the people who'd disavow their child in such a case, seem to never have a child who'd do those kind of things.
The only case I'm personally aware of is this:
http://www.jsonline.com/news/waukesha/50890077.htmlHe's my SIL's brother. Both are adopted. His birth mother and father have been in and out of jail their whole lives, as has he... My SIL is a special-ed teacher and H.S. tennis coach, she found her birth mother, who'd gone on to finish college, get married and was a special ed teacher and volleyball coach.
Let's just say he does not make a very good example for anyone who want's to argue against eugenics, or "criminal genes". The Fon du Lac detectives investigating the disappearance of his girlfriend were taken aback when they interviewed his adoptive family in suburban Milwaukee, and found a very clean cut, well-to-do Ozzie & Harriet/Ward-June Cleaver type family, who'd long since been heartbroken by their habitually criminal adopted son.
They were very gruff at the door, ready for the "Mah baby din' do 'nuffin!" treatment at first. And were not even sure they had the right house.
