From The Murder-Suicide Files

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Police says [sic] a 21-year-old Arizona man fatally shot his father then turned the gun on himself after they argued about the son doing the dishes.

Mesa police found Aaron Farinacci (fehr-ihn-AH’-chee) blocks from his parent’s house with a gunshot wound to his chest. He was in critical condition Tuesday.

Police say the incident began just after 6 p.m. Monday when Aaron Farinacci argued with his father, Jeffrey Farinacci, then ran into his parent’s bedroom and locked the door. Jeffrey Farinacci got a key and unlocked the door, and his wife then heard two shots. She told police her son pointed the gun at her as she went to investigate.

Police say Aaron Farinacci had gotten his father’s handgun from the nightstand.

Jeffrey Farinacci died at the hospital.
See, if only the Farinaccis had had a gun in the house, they would have been safe from a crazy person w/ a gun.

And parents, enough w/ being such non-stop fucking assholes, already. Shit.

We have a friend my son grew up with, a very intelligent kid with (probably) mild Asperger's syndrome. He's now 22. Parents really worked hard with him - I remember when he was 7 or 8, watching his dad try to "talk him down" from a towering rage over some perceived unfairness on the Little League field. We just heard from him recently. He lives at home, but earns a living by playing poker online, and earns enough to travel and do whatever he wants. As we spent more time with him, we learned things that became more and more sad and disturbing. We heard that he had set a fire in the upstairs bathroom with a carelessly discarded cigarette. We heard, finally, that he had just come out of a treatment center. He had been arrested for domestic assault on his father. The family had returned home from a group counseling session, and the son grew angry when his father refused to fetch dinner for him and asked him to come get his own. This is a smart kid, and I've known him for much of his life, his folks raised him with good principles, but he has almost no empathy.

I could see him doing something like that Arizona story in one of his rages. And it's so sad.

I knew this family. All I can say is you have no understanding of what really happened nor any compassion for what went down. I hope this happens to you.
