The daughter requested not to be on camera but the news turned around and put a picture of her and the father on TV.
Condolences to the family

This is disgusting! I swear im actually done with people!

[Proer]

Wait, she lives in Atlanta and she can't believe that someone would kill her father with a hammer? Talk about being in denial. Poor old guy should have been living with her.

[djr]

Seems like he was living his life, just wanting to keep to himself. Someone took that away from him, no way to treat our elderly.

[moderndaydrifter]

Taking a hammer to any living creature is a nasty thing to think about.

[cloudpiper]

I can't believe she let her father lived alone in an abandoned house. I'm guessing no electricity or water services?

[DIVISIONINCISION]

Why did she allow her elderly father to live in an abandoned house? That's the real question here. Why?

[osunkinnear]

Why?
He was harmless. Rest In Peace Angel.

This is heartbreaking:(. So extremely disgusted that a human will do that to an elderly! It's despicable! May the poor man's soul rest in peace. Please catch the sicko killer!

Too many psychopaths running around Atlanta City 🌆

[CODYORMOE]

What the actual f*ck? Who does this to an elderly person? Pure evil. Can we please bring back public hangings? My sincerest condolences to the family. I can not even imagine their pain.

[EsotericOccultist]

I know who would do something like that. The same people that do half the countries murders despite being a small fraction of the population.

Sounds like a city too busy to hate. That is the motto of Atlanta.
