The grandmother has Alzheimer's, so why are you even arguing with her in the first place? Just let it go and walk away. Better yet, why don't you go out and get a job?

There is often much more to these stories than meets the eye. The guy might be suffering from schizophrenia or some other kind of mental disease.

Yesterday the story was a 66yo son tried to kill his 94yo mum, these boys need to get a life not TRY to take one.

I am beginning to understand why so many elderly are living alone, afraid of being killed, abused or ripped off. Poor parents wasted their lives raising children only to be terrorized by them.

Interesting that finally some people are getting it.
There's something very wrong going on in this country where people are using any excuse to murder a family member.

Maybe he's chosen to be unemployed so he can look after his grandmother.

A 36 year old man choosing to argue with a 91 year old woman (grandmother) with Alzheimer's AND even going further to stab her in the head with scissors......yeah! you're a real "big" man, aren't you! Whatever the problem, just walk it out like an usher!
