Wow, this is a tragedy. I feel so sorry for Ms. Page’s family. I hope they’re doing alright.

I knew Austin Griffin, he did drugs and was a bit weird but I never knew he was capable of such a thing.

FIRST OF ALL, I know Chris’s parents well, so you can clamp your mouth shut right there, and I DO KNOW HOW THEY WERE RAISED, with absolutely NO discipline !…what I am refereing to is when they did something wrong, no ass whippings, no grounding, no nothing…BUT, like I said before, I never would have thought Chris would have done something like this, he was always polite to me because he used to come to my house and play, my stepson was his best friend when they were in middle school, and they used to hang out in high school so dont tell me I dont know him, and yes I know they are adults now, but if consequences had been handed down while they were growing up, maybe, just maybe, he would have thought twice about doing something like this and would not have to learn the hard way…I’m old school and I believe in spanking your children and teaching them right from wrong, not just brushing it off as boys will be boys…Im not commenting here to piss anyone off…Im just telling it from a different perspective, Im not saying persecute the parents…but raising your children to know right from wrong is the part of the way we raise good law abiding adults and prepare them to be good citizens it does lay in our hands to raise them right…Im not saying his parents raised him to be a killer, but having some consequences for their action growing up would have helped, not letting them do what they wanted to do…when they wanted to do it…Sorry if I have offended anyone but I’m telling what I know, and saw when they were little kids growing up.

For all of you out there that want to blame the parent…especially Satyre….you obviously don’t have children of your own. It may be nice to push the blame off to someone else when we do wrong, but it sure would not be my parents. I know that you yourself have made mistakes in life because there are no perfect people in this world. My heart goes out to your parents if they have read your comments and know that you hold them responsible for every mistake you have make in life. Face it we are responsible for our own actions…..the good and the bad a like. We aren’t talking about a child pushing someone off a trampoline because we don’t have a safty net…you could hold us responsible for that because they should have been supervised….these were adults. As parents we TRY to guide our children in the direction we see fit. No one is brought up with the same standards and morals as someone else, but there comes a time when we go our own way. Not all children (or in this case we are talking about adults) choose to make good decisions, but THEY made these bad choices…not their parents or any of their piers. I hope my children grow to be the responsible people we are teaching them to be… There are many devastated people in this county and none of them deserve to be victimized by all of this blame.

Do you know FIRST HAND how they were raised? no! and they are NOT children- they are 18 and 20 years old. You can NOT judge the family of either of the MEN like that. CHRIS AND AUSTIN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND NOONE ELSE! STOP POINTING FINGERS AND MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS!!! and yeah its easy to sit here and say all of this stuff about their families bc you can hide who you are.. would you have the courage to tell this to their face? You dont know first hand about either family- stop talking about them in the manner that you are. HAVE SOME RESPECT!

And to the comment made the other day, I forget who wrote it, but the person said “That Cpt. Roberstson is to busy handing out tickets to investigate real crime” I hope you are eating your words now….Congradulations to all the deputies from Nelson that were involved in this case and to the surrounding counties that lent their hand to help catch these killers !

I too agree with JZ, when Chris and his brothers were growing up, they had no discipline, I know this for a fact it is not rumored, I know it first hand..BUT I never would have thought Chris would do something like this, maybe his brothers, but not Chris, he was always polite to me, but there is the 2 sides that Alex was talking about…and we are not condeming these boys, they did it to themselves, if the sherrif is 100% sure they have the right people, then they deserve the death penalty, don’t take pity because their young, or they didn’t have discipline growing up…the act they did deserves the death penalty…they knew what they were doing was wrong.

When there is no discipline in a family is that the child’s fault? No, it’s the parents fault. They are the ones who choose to have the child, and it’s their job to train their children correctly. Of course when someone does something as horrible as commit murder they have to be accountable for what they do…not their parents. But good parenting sure does help to mold your child to be a decent human being on this planet. I’m sure both mothers are horrified at what happened, but as others have said previously…why didn’t the children get help? If they had the help or discipline or rules or curfews they needed none of this would’ve EVER HAPPENED! And to the others that replied about my comment, I think my comment was much milder than most about this incident.

Is it not the teacher’s fault when a child can’t read. Is it not a physician’s fault when someone dies of a curable disease. Of course it is the parents fault that sons/daughters do bad or GOOD things. That is what is wrong with this world. I always thought that my parents reputation stood by my actions. And if they are guilty, then they are not the victims of anything, just plain evil. Not tempers, not drugs, not lack of sleep caused this evil. If they are guilty then they have themselves to blame and the rest of us who enable them will share in that guilt.

Karma is what will happen to the guilty. I am sorry that I am not falling into the mob rule and declaring these men guilty. Hurry up get the rope we are going to have a lynching. This is crazy. Alex and Mike, I am not condoning the horrific actions that took place. It appears to me that you are reading what I wrote and taking out what you wish to. I am saddened by the event, but I will not cast one stone at them. If they are guilty, then they have been caught. It appears to me that all the people on here condemning these two men to hell and hoping that they fry are being way to judgmental. You thump your bible and talk about forgiveness and turning the other cheek. I am not saying let them go, I am just saying let the system do its job. I am angry over this action. I have to explain to my child why it is safe to go to sleep and that no one is going to hurt her. It is hard to infuse the thought into your child that not everyone is evil, when you can see the fright in their eyes.
