1. Now that's a forgiving son!

Don't know if I could have done it...even if he had a stroke.

2. It's kind of sad. If the Father did have a stroke the guy may not fully understand why he was

angry or fully realizing his actions.


When my Friend's grandmother had a stroke and living with my friend's family she would often lash out and run around with a wooden spoon to hit people who she thought where being bad. Often times it was something as little as a sneeze.

3. Now, I'll admit that I'm not a fan of country music, but

I've never gone that far.

4. I like the.....

"He don't need to spend his last days in prison or jail,"

[petronius]

10. That is a loving and generous son, and I applaud him for it

But he's a bit mistaken - no matter the source of the erratic behavior, dad now seems to need a higher degree of supervision. Not prison necessarily, but it may not be safe for the general public to leave him up to his own devices...

5. Well I can appreciate the sentiment

but wouldn't have been easier just to go outside or something?

8. How is that off topic? It involved a gun. n/t

12. The rules there are fairly strict to help enhance the signal to noise ratio

Hunting and outdoors sports have their own group

9. In the dad's defense, it was a Kenny Chesney song.

11. The family has removed all of dad's guns, right?

13. At least he had a good reason
