A couple said they believe their son brutally killed the family's dog because he felt like he was being replaced.

Christopher Poston, 25, was arrested after police said he stabbed the family's 6-year-old Lab, Sammy, to death.

Christopher's mother, Susan Poston, said she was stunned over her son's actions, especially because she said Christopher rescued Sammy after finding him in a trash bag.

Susan said Sammy was a sweet and caring dog who loved everyone. She said they believe Christopher attacked the dog because he had become jealous and felt Sammy had replaced him.

Christopher's family said he has been arrested 18 times since turning 16. In 2003 and 2009 the family even sought protection orders against him. He was given a five year deferred sentence in 2009 for pointing a gun during a road rage incident. Now his parent said they want their son put in jail for good.

"This is psychotic. This is serial killer bad. Someone who can do this to an animal could very well do this to a person, and I don't think he should ever get out. I am sure he will, but I don't ever want to see him," Susan said.

Just found this story, the guy's own parents feel he should be locked up for the rest of his life, what do you guys think should be done with him, and people like him?
 
sure looks like a habitual offender to me. the article doesn't describe the nature of the crimes except for killing the dog, which is good for 1-3 in most jurisdictions, no more than 5, i'm sure.

no doubt at least a few years to cool his heels and get some rehabilitation would be good for him and his community.

don't forget to consider the caveats about innocent until proven guilty and letting the punishment fit the crime.
 
25 years old? at first i thought they were going to start talking about a 5 year old or something. Yeah either they need to get him some help or kick him out of the fucken house b/c he's 25 and STILL living with his parents.
 
Some families are just a lot closer than others, I know a lot of older people that still live with their parents by choice, personally I want to get the FUCK out of mine ASAP, but I don't judge people who choose to stay at home.
 
I really don't think Prison would be the right way to go, keep him in a mental institute and heavily medicated, in prison he's just going to end up being a danger to other inmates and himself, this is one of the rare cases where I think insanity would be a legitimate defense.
