He's 55, unemployed, and living with his 87 year old father. Either the dad refused to give him any more money for pachinko, or they got into an argument because Dad said get off your butt and get a job

terrible. the worst part about this is that this is becoming so common that I'm starting to become desensitized to this. When I read news about people killing their elderly parents or spouses I'm not as shocked as I used to be- and that distresses me.
But at least I am still outraged.
