It's one thing to stone cold kill someone out of anger...

It's another thing to get away with it and live with it. In 10 years, well the dad will be dead and his son still be the asshole that shot someone for annoying him. In 10 years... who will ever want to talk to that puke? Fuck those people... hell is going to be filled with them.

And can we at some point lose the whole "conservative Christian" bullshit? There's no such fucking thing.

ICE would execute Jesus at the next opportunity, what with His dark skin and antifa beliefs. "Love thy neighbor." LOL, fuck them if they gots an accent! Woo hoo!!

Fucking chuds.

If you're a committed Christian, you can't be conservative.
If you're a conservative Christian, you can't be committed.
If you're a committed conservative, you can't be Christian.

because Christianity as a religion didn't exist for another century after his supposed resurrection.

But the sentiment of your point is well taken.

Ya hear it all the time.. he’d never hurt anyone..he’s such a happy person. Welp.. it’s on tape and your good son has shot an unarmed mother of three who just said to him..I’m not mad at you, bro just before your good son shot her in the head and killed her. How proud you must be, dad

You can hear the epithet on Ross's cell phone recording just as soon as she's been shot

30. Then Mr. Ross, you are responsible for the death of Renee Nicole Good.

As in the Aesop's fable, "The Thief and His Mother," where a boy starts stealing small things, encouraged by his mother, and grows into a criminal; when executed, he bites off her ear, blaming her for his downfall because she didn't punish him early on, teaching that vices must be stopped at their roots. The boy first steals a writing tablet, then clothes, and eventually bigger items, leading to his capture and execution. As he's led to the gallows, he asks to speak to his mother privately, then bites off her ear, telling her if she had corrected him for the first theft, he wouldn't have become a thief.

Mr. Ross, you contributed to the crime. You were blind to your son's past transgressions and now you are denying them.

Rob Reiner wasn't a perfect father, but he at least addressed his son's violations.

Which apparently makes it totally acceptable for him to commit cold blooded murder.
