Responders found Joe Cornelius Sr., 82, and his daughter, Keisha Miles, 31, dead from multiple gunshot wounds, he said.

Decades ago, my friend was concerned that his son was sleeping in school because his wife put a TV in the kid's bedroom. And the kid was watching it all night.

My friend removed it and of course, his son was outraged. Very, very angry.

What's worse is his wife/mother of the kid was laughing that their son wanted to take a bat to his father in revenge.

Like that's funny???

I'm surprised the kid didn't follow through, but grateful he didn't.
