10-year-old boy charged with killing his neo-Nazi father

[alp227]

A 10-year-old Riverside boy charged with fatally shooting his father, local neo-Nazi leader Jeffrey R. Hall, had past problems with aggression and violence after being caught in the middle of a bitter divorce fraught with abuse allegations, court records show.

Legal experts said it was extraordinarily rare for such a young person to face a murder charge, and legal barriers prohibit detectives and prosecutors from discussing a juvenile case.

Investigators said the boy apparently retrieved a family handgun and shot his father about 4 a.m. Sunday on the living room couch. Police declined to say whether Hall was asleep at the time.

"We believe it was an intentional act," said Riverside police Lt. Ed. Blevins, "and we believe the 10-year-old was responsible."

This action is still wrong, as stupid and bigoted as the father is...the article even reports: "Hall was the Southwest leader of the National Socialist Movement, the nation's largest neo-Nazi organization, and would often take his children to events, a colleague in the organization said."

1. O.K. which Freeper poster is MIA?

2. He should be treated as an abused child.

A murder charge of a 10-year-old is ludicrous.

3. I hope the child gets the help he needs

and all law enforcement and the judicial branch involved treats him with compassion.

4. I don't know, this is a child that was afraid for the next

morning with his Dad there, it sounds to me. We don't know if his Dad had threatened him or what. I won't judge.

6. He was taught by his dad, from birth, that hatred and violence are acceptable.

The poor kid never had a chance :(
