A 15-year-old boy in Oakland, California admitted to murdering his parents. Robert Kamin, 55, and Susan Poff, 50 were found dead in their vehicle after they'd failed to show up for work and calls to the home (answered by the son) led co-workers to contact police (in the first call, the boy said his parents went out for a walk; in the second, he claimed his father was in the bathroom and couldn't answer the phone). When police arrived, they noticed the vehicle was charred, as if someone tried to set it on fire. When they saw a limb under a blanket in the backseat, they opened the door and found the bodies of the boy's parents.
Mr Kamin worked for the San Francisco county jail system as a clinical psychologist. Mrs Poff worked at the Housing and Urban Health Clinic for the city's health department as a physicians assistant. They adopted their son within the last ten years.
Colleagues say they were aware the parents had been having problems with their son over his spending too much time at the Occupy Oakland camps. Though the police have yet to release any information as to the young man's identity or motives for the crime, one has to wonder if he lashed out due to an ultimatum given by his parents.
This is the second death tied to Occupy Oakland since the movement started in late September 2011. The first was a shooting in which one of the suspects and the victim had both been involved with Occupy Oakland. The victim had been staying in the encampment.

What gets me is the way these savages are coddled. They don't release their names or faces right away (ever?), they're given more lenient sentences, they're called mentally ill, and my personal favorite: "BUT THEY'RE JUST CHILDREN! They didn't know what they were doing!"
What rubbish! Trust me, a 15 year old knows it's wrong to murder anyone, especially his parents! So does a 10 year old. Even a 5 year old, if they're already so rotten that they're even thinking such things.
This animal just murdered his own parents. Treat him just like an adult. I have zero tolerance for this crap.
