    The fact he smiled when the dad jumped at him proves how evil he is.
  • @NeedlecrashDCB
    I don't blame the father one bit. I would have done the same thing.
  • @salamkhoury1785
    I don’t blame him. It’s honestly such a sick world we live in, truly a disgusting thing for the father to experience
  • @user-tv8jz1ep4u
    The fact that the murderer was absolutely shameless and unfazed after that really shows how inhumane he is
  • If anybody says the father was wrong to do that has never had kids. He jumped like his life depended on it and he was not a small man. Rip to all affected
  • @Grandpa...
    I see nothing wrong with giving a parent 5 minutes in a locked room with their children’s offender.
  • @user8228
    disgusting how criminals are protected like this..
  • @johnhuber354
    3 Years Later, The Father Died. RIP Father & Daughter.
  • @Jasir1
    When you’re looking at the person who killed your own child that you spent time raising and loving, you can only imagine the overwhelming anger that fills you, knowing that you yourself can’t can’t do anything back. This is true pain.
  • @alexcod556
    If I was the officer, I would pretend like I didn’t se anything until the murder started to bleed
  • @Lucky-ei6yh
    That smirk on the killers face would boil anyone's blood
  • @habes9184
    This is terrible how we could feel all the pain of that man, even just through a screen..It truly broke my heart. All the best to him and his family ❤
  • It took 5 grown men to hold the father back. The rage he must feel…it’s just horrible to loose your child 😢
  • @Ttkoize
    Anyone in that court room cannot judge the father for doing what he did it’s absolutely heartbreaking
  • @akhilat
    These moments of raw emotion, that come from love...they are just beyond words. Nobody can disagree with what they saw.
  • @TaraConway16
    You can see the absolute pain in that father's eyes.
  • @Brandon3060
    I don't blame him for at least trying. It was his best chance to get at him.
  • @dayner989
    Sad he passed away with a broken 💔 heart RIP brave dad
  • @Yuu3909
    I wanted to have a father like him. The father must have loved his daughter so so much and being in a rage towards the killer. While it’s so sad bout the tragedy it’s also very touching.
