Associated Press:  This is the saddest news story I have heard in a very long time:  Riverside, CA:  The Public Defender for a 10-year-old boy charged with murdering his neo-Zazi father in their California home says he might pursue an insanity defense for this child and he is seeking records from social workers who have monitored the boys family.  Matt Hardy said he will also ask for a psychiatric evaluation before entering a plea for the boy after he was charged Wednesday with murder in the shooting death of Jeff Hall, a 32-year-old plumber who had carried a swastika flag and led rallies outside a local synagogue and day labor site.  Riverside County prosecutors declined to provide additional details surrounding the early Sunday shooting until the boy enters a plea, but said the case is highly unusual because of the boy's age.  "To say it's unheard of is not hyberbole in this case," said Ambrosio E. Rodriguez, Senior Deputy District Attorney.  "This is extremely rare.  It is almost unheard of - until today."  The small blonde haired boy appeared in Juvenile Court in an orange detention shirt, khaki pants and handcuffs.  A judge ordered that he remain in Juvenile Hall until a May 18 detention hearing.  After the hearing, the child requested a visit with his step-mother and grandmother.  Hardy said he anticipates a "long haul" in the case and that he is waiting to examine files from county social workers who have monitored the boy's family following allegations of abuse and neglect.  Child protective services records show investigators were called to the home four times in 2003 and four times during prior years.  "We have to look at the things that are mental elements," Hardy told the Associated Press late Wednesday.  "Whether he pulled the trigger or not is not the end of the inquiry."  The boy, whose name is not being released because he is a minor, is accused of shooting his father with a handgun in the family home.  Hall was found on the couch and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene, said police Lt. Ed Blevins.  Authorities believe the shooting was intentional, but declined to comment on a motive, except to say they do not believe Hall's neo-Nazi affiliation played a role.  The shooting was reported to police at about 4 a.m. Sunday, Blevins said.  Relatives of the boy who attended the hearing declined comment on the case.  His mother, Leticia Neal, said she is looking into hiring a private attorney, but only learned of the shooting on Monday.  Hall's four other children have been taken into protective custody.  Hall was southwest regional leader of the National Socialist Movement, an organization that advocates white supremacy.  He led rallies against illegal immigration and outside a local synagogue, stoking outcry from a host of community groups and residents concerned about the rise in hate groups in the vast suburbs southeast of Los Angeles.  Hall, who advocated for a breakaway white nation, also lost a bid last year for a seat on the Western Municipal Water District Board in Riverside.  The Antidefamation League considers Hall's organization to be the country's largest neo-Nazi group.  

 My Comments:  This tragedy tugs at my heart deeply and reminds me of what we are told in the Word of God:  Jesus said in Matthew 26:52, "...all those who use the sword shall perish by the sword."  There is no doubt this child's father had issues with hate, anger and violence.  He was a white supremest, and no doubt "lived by the guns" he owned and which was obviously somehow accessible to this child in the home.  Unless God intervenes for this little boy, he will suffer for the manner in which he was raised.  We need to pray that God will send messengers to this child, who will minister the truth to him and nurture him in the admonition of the Lord, before Satan continues his plan to completely destroy not only the father, who lived by hate and violence, but this child also, who is very much a victim of who his father was and how he was raised.  Please remember to pray for this boy.  We don't know his name, but the Lord knows who he is as we pray "for the child who shot his neo-Nazi father."  God have mercy on us all.  You would never have heard of such crimes 50 years ago, but we are living in the very last days.
