The problem is his son was not armed and trained to protect himself from homocidal maniacs.

Maybe he’s offering the dad his services.

I think he’s getting ready to run for office on the back of his dead son

Sound more likely the young man was diagnosed (possibly a psychosis ) had medication prescribed but typically refused to take it. There should be an option that refusal of medicine automatically triggers a controlled environment ( institutionized)
We joke about people being “off their meds”. But I’m certain more than one of the multi death incidence can be traced back to either doctors adjusting medication or patient refusal to take it Get unstable off streets until they are stable

He’s a freakin’ criminal defense lawyer who couldn’t let the loss of his son get in the way of his seeking the spotlight. I think he’s a total sleazy bastard.

Someone needs to check to see how many clients he’s represented who committed crime(s) with guns, who he worked to get off.

He’s setting himself up for a lawsuit, or paid sponsorship by any number of Gun Control groups.

“I think he’s getting ready to run for office on the back of his dead son”

Or be used as a tool for someone running for office. Think Hitlery and the demonrats.

He’s going to become a “Cindy Sheehan Activist”.

Look for him to be all over the place.

Mental health will never prevent murders.

In fact advocating for mental health in these cases is a very slippery slope.

It could lead to:

Your Obamacare doctor says you are mentally ill - no guns for you.

You subscribe to lists like this - uou are mentally ill - no guns for you.

There is going to be a very big push for gun confiscation after the Bundy standoff. and the Statists are going to use every tool to disarm America. They are going to go full throttle too. There is going to be no talk of hunting guns or home defense guns.
Remember Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” Martinez is just a tool.

“....advocating for mental health in these cases is a very slippery slope.”

Absolutely! Diagnosis of mental illness can be politicized very quickly, especially under a `single payer’ medical system where doctors/psychologists become de facto agents for state security.

“Voted against Dear Leader Obama. you say? That’s mental illness defined. Turn in your guns now & prepare to submit to mental evaluation!”

I called this one- kumbaya with Martinez, and “Oh My God” Peter Rodger and his twisted son become just more victims of the 2d amendment

We need gun, knife, and BMW control. Now.

I'm with ya' on the BMW control. We need to take away the "Yes, I do own the whole damn road." certificates that BMW owners get when they buy their car.

A frickin’ “lawyer”? I should have known. You can bet he’s about to go into politics as another ‘RAT freeloader too afraid to get a real job.

“...he used to be a criminal defense attorney...”

Seems like he is still defending criminals and deflecting blame to “society”. Old tricks are hard to unlearn.

To jump off the mark like this in just a few hours, this man must have been screwed up and full of unfocused hatred long before his boy was killed.

Now he has a focus. Preaching more discredited mechanisms and bankrupt philosophies.

Perhaps like the the Sandy Hook kid’s father....he will get his 15 minutes of fame dancing in the boy’s blood and then the lib media will abandon him like yesterday’s news.

People like Gabby Gifford and Jim Brady make much better martyr’s as they are wheeled out to drool for the cameras and struggle to mouth some per-rehearsed clicks and grunts like trained seals.

Martinez could also see opportunity in his boy’s death like Mommy Trayvon, “Buzz Lightyear” Gifford did.

I remember the McCarthy woman in NY who rode her husband’s subway shooting death into Congress. She is a dim bulb but well suited to her constituency.

Shameless opportunists all. God save them.

This guy is promising to be even more obnoxious than Trayvon Martin’s parents. I feel very sorry for his loss, which didn’t appear to be the result of poor parenting, although SB is known as a party school and meat market. But it creeps me out that he is using the situation so publicly so soon. Curious to know if he is still married to and living with his son’s biological mother, or was an every-other weekend dad.

"Then I found out he used to be a criminal defense attorney. So that explained a lot.”

So how many criminals did he put back on the streets because of technicalities and skirting the law. How many deaths is he responsible for? Did any of his clients carry illegal guns? Maybe he should look in the mirror first.

Wow, bingo to both of you. And the father of the perp was a divorced player and a purveyor of filthy violent media. Karma got right around to both of them in their lifetimes, perhaps?
