The father of a 17-year-old exchange student shot dead in Montana departed the U.S. on Thursday after criticizing the nation’s gun culture and arranging for his son’s body to be flown back to Germany.

Celal Dede flew out of Missoula after securing the release of Diren Dede’s body, which was transported from Montana on Wednesday afternoon, German consulate spokeswoman Julia Reinhardt said.

Before he departed, Celal Dede told the German news agency DPA that he had never imagined his son could be shot for simply entering somebody’s property.

“Kaarma told police he fired high to avoid hitting the car in the garage - but court records showed that three of four shots were aimed low.”

Well, I guess he knew where the car was so he knew where he could aim high/low and be safe. Too bad the dumbass kid was inside up to no good.

Did he not know that there are guns in America before he came over here? He could have stayed in Europe where there are no murders.

We also have people that could have killed him with a hammer, or a baseball bat. Would that be preferable?

It’s sad he lost his son, but it’s not our “gun culture” at fault here, it’s evil people. This is a free country, and liberty is worth the risks.

The nazi’s took the guns away from the Jews, not the ‘good Germans’. At least I read that somewhere.

The "German" is a Turkish Muslim immigrant to Germany.

Didn't you read the fatwa about the possessions of infidels being there for Muslims to take?

Hey dumbass, your son was breaking INTO a home. We have the right to own guns and to defend ourselves.

I'm sick of these foreigners telling us how to run our country. Unfortunately, we do have a foreigner tell us how to live, his name is Obama.
