My son is the same age as Brian and Gabby and his girlfriend actually looks a lot like her. I would do anything for my son but if he did something like that I would have to turn him in. I would cry the whole time and do whatever I could to help but I cannot comprehend knowing he hurt someone like that. I am so completely disgusted with those trash excuses for humans.

Yea I feel like this isn't that hard. If my kids came to me and said they killed someone, I'd turn them in. I'd still love them, help them get a lawyer so their treated fairly, etc but they gotta go to jail and a jury can decide if they're guilty

I do understand that and maybe I'd feel differently if it happened. I can't know. But I do know many parents have found out their child murdered someone and immediately turned them in.

And the protestors weren't there when their son said he killed his fiance, their daughter in law. They had, what, a week to process and decide what to do. They got him a lawyer knowing he was going to get in trouble but still sheltered him, hid him from police and drew it out as long as possible. I hope I'll never know the answer but I fully believe I'd do the right thing.

But Brian had been there for days before the protestors turned up.
