Good lord, and in my hometown at that. Sounds like he had a sober moment either realizing he'd just put four slugs in his own kid, or knowing he was gonna end in McAlester's State Pen. I hope the son recovers. Man, what a legacy to leave, smh.

Awful.

Famous last words. Yeah, he was a good guy...when he wasn't drinking. This man destroyed his family because of a flippin coke, how sad.

Damn crazy people! Was I the only one who initially thought his son was a child and not a 34-year old man?

If it was powdered coke dad would have come back with a straw, not a 9mm!

Not the writer, then. *exhales*

 

[lvl up]

Good riddance! Self control is not an option

But, he later still may have shot his son for getting a straw in it faster and leaving none to share. His apt was right there tho, who could've blamed him?

I could see it if the coke was whack...
