I feel sorry for the parents. They had an emotionally distrubed son; who committed suicide. If that alone weren't bad enough, he did it in a manner that got world-wide recognition; and added humiliation to the grief his parents have to suffer.

I have to give credit where it is due; his father sounds like an honorable man. He has swallowed his grief, long enough to explain the situation to the public. Not many in his situation would have the backbone he has shown.

Again, I hope and pray these parents can forgive what their son has done.

His father seems an odd fellow--some of the first words out of his mouth in an earlier interview were, "It wasn't a political act!" Seems really strange, and something I've never heard from a grieving father talking about a child's suicide before.

"The younger Hinrichs built a bomb out of match heads in an empty tube at age 13 or 14, his father said."

The father is admitting his son was building bombs at the young age of 13 or 14 -- why didn't the father step in and do something about it WAY back then (circa 1997)?

I totally agree with you!

I weep for and pray for this father. The pain must be unbearable.
