#1 What Jack would want from this is for all of us to walk through the door he has booted down, in his black Doc Martens.

I'm sorry for the man's loss.

That said, what kind of grieving father would write such fulsome nonsense as this - barely 48 hours after his son's murder by a terrorist?

Was this idiotic tripe already published somewhere? Did he rip it off from some PC version of a dime novel? (Is that essentially what the Marvekcheritage

#2 Merrit's just like people who would disown their child for "disgracing the family". He places his social position above the lives of his children.

And I submit you cannot "rehabilitate" jihadis and other political criminals. They did not commit crimes of passion -- they carefully planned and plotted, and came up with justifications for their violence.

The kind that schooled Jack about the world, as his place in it.

#7 I'm sorry for the man's loss.

I'm not. In my experience people like him are very good at getting other people's kids killed. And, in any case, an apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.

#8 Think we found the root of the son's problem.

#9 I just saw his rambling about BoJo and can't help but think if a cheque from Corbyn was involved. I wouldn't put it past such a man. None of these altruistic sounding eulogies to his son sound sincere to me.

#10 He's projecting his idiocy that got his own son killed onto others, we should not allow him to succeed.

#11 Dumbass, it's bad enough that you don't mind yourself and your loved ones being killed by jihadis. But the rest of us would prefer to keep these mad barbarians where they cannot harm us. After all, providing for the security of its citizens is one of the primary functions of a civilized society. If you cannot understand or appreciate that, maybe you should move to the Middle Eastern cat box of your choice, live among the barbarians whom you love so much and leave the rest of us alone.

#12 The father is speaking from the cozy comfort of his bubble. It is sad.
