The police believe it is a staged suicide. They believe Thomas shot his father and made it look like a suicide. The police believe that Thomas' motive was revenge; his father cut his allowance and wouldn't pay his rent.
Thomas Gilbert Jr. was a gradate of Princeton University with a degree in economics. However, he had no recent work activity. He had a reputation of partying. He was a spoiled brat. At the age of thirty, he doesn't have a job and his parents a paying his rent that is ridicules. Parents need to stop spoiling their children. You need to let them make mistakes and figure it out for themselves, not just open your wallet. If they want something, make them work for it.
I heard he had some history with mental illness. Is that true?
ReplyDeleteI believe that as a parent, your job is to provide a child with the necessities they need to survive. Who says you have to spoil them and give them any and everything they demand? What would you have thought if you were the police sent to the crime scene?
ReplyDeleteKilling his father because he wouldn't give him money is so wrong. He's an adult, he should have gotten a job and supported himself, Also, his parents should not have kept giving money, they should have encouraged him to try and support himself.
