The kid was way out of line, no getting around that. He knows that, we all know that.

What gets me are all the shots at his parents and the job they've done raising him. Unless you have intimate knowledge of the situation, you probably ought to keep your damn mouth shut about the job the Memmers did parenting their child. Maybe this outburst was a product of his upbringing, and maybe it wasn't. The bottom line is -- like I said -- unless you're close to the family, you have no clue. Are the parents of murderers tried in the courtroom alongside their offspring? No, and there's a reason for that: personal accountability.

It's a pretty damned big leap to take, assuming that connection. I guess it takes a smarter man than I to do it.
