Re: Gigi Zeng California Shooting

        This is in response to Gigi Zeng's blog about the California shooting. Scott Evans Dekraai, a former member of the U.S Armed Forces killed his ex-wife along with seven other people at a hair salon where his ex-wife was employed. When Scott  was arrested he revealed he was armed with rifles and knives all over his pockets. They said his motives where caused from a custody battle over their eight year old son. First of all, it is horrible that the child is left parentless. His child not only lost his mother, but his father too now that he will be convicted of murder and will be serving a long time in jail. There must have been something really wrong with him, if Scott thought killing his ex-wife was going to help win his son over. Also, If he loved his son so much why would he do this to his son's mother?

"What kind of twisted fatherly love is this? Now his 8-year old son has no mother, and has to live with the fact that his father is a murderer. Scott  Dekraai wouldn't have done this if he truly loved his son. I think he simply wanted revenge."

            I agree with Gigi Zeng, what kind of love is this? You love your son soo much, but you're willing to hurt them to get what you want. Not only that but it is very sad that 7 innocent people, were killed due to Dekraai's actions. While I agree that his actions where wrong, I do not completely blame him. I think that here is more to the story. I think there was something else that may have caused him to commit the murders. Maybe he has undiagnosed psychological problems caused from his time in the Armed Forces. I don't know though, we will have to follow the story to find out what happens.
