They didn't press charges against him since the news of his son had traumitized him so bad. I think it was in Florida about 2 or 3 weeks ago, maybe a little longer.Quote:

The events started around 2:15 p.m. when three Marine casualty officers arrived at the home to inform the Arredondo family of the death.
Arredondo went to his garage and came out carrying a propane tank, a gallon of gasoline and a welder's torch, police spokesman Tony Rode said.
The Marines tried to calm him, Rode said, but Arredondo smashed the window of their van, got inside and doused it with the gasoline.
Then he set it on fire.
"Unfortunately, the man was caught in the fire," a police statement said.
That's sad indeed, but he should have been better equipped to deal with the news, I mean his son was in combat for goodness sake! I am glad that they didn’t press charges, but it doesn’t change the fact that the old man was out of line, and should have had his head handed to him!!!Quote:
