Well let's look at the behaviors
you guys are dealing with
'cause I made a list of those too.
Because you come by this honestly,
the frustration I get.
He refuses chores, right.
Absolutely.
He plays video games, sleeps 13 hours.
He's just "plain lazy,"
I mean he'll agree he's lazy.
He says he doesn't do anything until he's ready
and he's not ready.
He works "sparingly",
he says he's "not feeling it."
And you say he lives in a fantasy world.
He absolutely lives in a fantasy world.
And what's the fantasy about?
What is his fantasy,
how does he see himself that's not real.
His fantasy is that he is a successful
22 year old young man who doesn't need any help.
He's happy doing exactly what he's doing
because he thinks that's what
all 22 year old people do.
And you say he's verbally abusive with you.
He cusses. Calls you names.
He cusses a lot. Bitch, blank you,
he's kicked the dog.
He got a pistol and an AR15 to a party,
got the gun taken away, held to his head,
robbed and they shot at him in his car as he was leaving.
They did.
Here's the bullet hole in the car
and they blew out the tire and shot a hole
in the car. They did.
Right at the gas tank. They did.
Could have blown up. It could have.
Probation for marijuana possession,
crashed the car into a telephone pole
and we're not talking a fender bender here.
We're gonna take a look at the picture.
He completely totaled the car.
And right behind the police car,
that's the stop sign he pulled out from
took a right and said some type
of animal ran in front of him
and he went to swerve and he hit the gas
instead of the break.
Yeah, I hate it
when that happens. Right.
Dropped out of college and he's hanging
with high schoolers. Absolutely.
Couldn't walk the stage with the other students
at high school graduation, why not?
Because he was forbidden from being on school property.
Because?
Because he had been sent
to alternative school. Because?
Because he had videotaped some students and posted
it on social media and apparently the school
was averse to that.
What the hell is he doing with a nine millimeter
and an AR15?
Neither one of us knew it.
He's, you describe him as being
emotionally unstable.
We did not know it.
It's your job to know it.
He's living in your house,
it's your job to know.
Not when he had the guns.
Not when he had the guns, no.
No. No.
He got the guns.
You don't know that this kid is armed in your house?
No, no. He was not living
with us when he had those guns.
He started to live with us
after this happened,
when the guns were taken from him
and he was shot at.
You didn't know
he had guns? His father knew,
we did not know.
Oh geese what can go wrong here.
Had I known Dr. Phil,
he would not have had those guns.
My son is so emotionally immature
and again he's so naive
in the ways of the world.
Because this unraveled because
he was showing off at a party.
He wanted to show the guns to somebody.
Well he was at his vehicle according
to him he was leaving the party and one of the fellows
that walked up he thought he knew.
So he goes to take the gun out
to say oh look what I have.
Are you excusing this?
Absolutely not, I'm relaying to what he says.
Now I cannot speak to what happened
because I wasn't there,
this is what he says to me.
This is insanity, it's absolute insanity.
This guy comes over he's never seen before
and he says oh I thought you were a friend of mine.
And the guy says "Well can I look at it."
And he gives him the AR15 loaded.
Hands it to him.
Then he realizes that there's a problem
so he's got his other gun in his pocket
he goes to pull that out,
another one of the gang guys comes up
takes that gun from him,
puts it to his head,
now he's got a kid with an AR15
on one side and a gun to his head on the other.
He breaks away, jumps in the car, takes off
and the guy empties the gun at him
while he's leaving.
And we heard
about this afterwards.
We didn't know he had guns,
I mean we knew he had problems
but we did not know he had guns.
I'm not saying this as an excuse
but I'm telling you we didn't know
he had the guns. Yeah, gotcha.
