Every Child Needs a Mother and a Father
A 40-year-old disabled Army veteran is accused of slashing his 11-year-old son to death with a Samurai sword in front of neighbors and killing his wife inside a home in Lake Mary, according to police.Witnesses said they saw the boy, Nico Duzant, stagger out of the home located on 484 Queensbridge Drive bleeding from the neck and wrists and his father, Franklyn Duzant, 40, allegedly chasing him with the weapon. The father kept attacking the boy with the sword while he was on the ground and then ran into the house, according to the report.
The incident happened on the boy’s 11th birthday, authorities said.
It could have been worse—that boy could have had gay parents. That would really be a tragedy. Full story here.
Did he switch from sword to machete for a reason I wonder? Maybe the sword was getting to hard to wield, and he wanted something more comfortable. Or perhaps it was only after he unsuccessfully tried to behead his son, that he realized the fake samurai swords you buy at the local malls tobacco, sword and knife shop (manly toy emporia) are not sharpened.
I agree with Dan that it's unlikely that a homosexual would be caught in the front lawn of a home whacking at his son with a dull toy sword. It's a tad gauche. If I had a son that I wanted to murder, I think I'd stab him brutally in the manner of the stabbing in Atlantic City. Done properly that could be very Lautreamontesque.
