The article I choose was based on a man from the North end of Tacoma, known as the strong man. “Man killed by stepdad mentally ill, mom says.” This is the title of the article, but I don’t think that this is a good title. From just reading this it makes me think that the father was mentally challenged, and that this son died an innocent man. However this wasn’t the case at all. The man had a history of issues from thinking that he could do almost anything, including moving a truck 25 yards, to beating his own mother. This strong man changed his name numerous times, and had multiple personalities along with each name change. On Sunday, he went over to his mom’s house in North Tacoma, where he had a restraining order. He and his step dad started to get into it, and which led to fighting with his mom. The stepdad and son started to argue which led to the father stabbing the son. The way that the article was written seems a little confusing. At one point he is talking about how the mom says that it is the fathers fault, but then two sentences later the writer is saying that it was the son’s fault. I think that a mothers love will always be there but she knows that her son had problems. I don’t think that the father is going to get charged for anything because the son shouldn’t have been there. Also the son was unwanted in their house and he was hitting his mother. The father was only doing self defense for him and his wife. I think that the article could have been written a little better, because even the title was confusing.
