You are much more sympathetic than I am. If you don't want to bury your kids you do everything you can to raise them up right and ensure they do not become a criminal menace that threatens others or associates with that type.
I do feel sorry for Lisa's parents, they were likely overly indulging but with the best of intentions. I think everyone agrees this was NOT random, it had something to do with Johnny. He was the catalyst, either by angering someone or talking about the "safe" or dealing drugs or all of the above.
I try not to pick and chose which victim's parents to like or dislike. I try to remain neutral since I really have no true understanding what each of them are suffering. Even very imperfect parents loves very imperfect children.
And while I don't 'think' I would have handle it the way Matlee has done..I have no right to criticize her, imo.
There is no assurance that a good parent can prevent this from happening to one of their children. Bad things happen to good kids too. But yes, it is best to raise them with a moral upbringing and character, but still it does not protect anyone from being murdered. Sadly we see many innocent and good people murdered when a murderer happened to cross their paths.
Since I am not privy to any of the actual evidence LE has... I truly do not know what happened in this case or who the perpetrators may be. So therefore; I will not place blame on one of the deceased murder victims, but that is just me, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions and feelings of course.
All I know is, no one deserved to die like this by the hands of another.
It just seems like to me if there was a link between Johnny and the perps LE would have found the suspect or suspects by now. Cases where links to the perp and victim exist are far easier to solve than an unknown with no linkage whatsoever to the victims.
