I spent 8 years getting to where I am in the police force...

Do people really think that way? They would let their son die to keep a job they had for 8 years? And why wouldn't he be able to keep his job? Seems like the other cops all knew about it since they helped cover up the other kid's death to not expose it. I'm sorry I just don't get this movie. He beats his wife and wants his son to die because of what?? Maybe I just haven't been exposed to enough homophobia. I know people don't want their sons to be gay, but this seems extreme...I know I'm naive on some things but do people feel this strongly towards their own children? I've heard of not talking to them, not wanting them dead... This would be what I think of as hate. When people talk about it being hate to not want gay people to get married, I think they lose credibility, because there is actual hate out there. By the end, I felt sorry for the dad too. I just cringed at the end.




It weakens us to not give our enemies the respect they deserve...
