This is just so disturbing... a dad beating his own kid like that? 
it's like something out of a horror movie. I mean, what's wrong with this guy? 
He needs help, not a jail cell. The fact that he's 28 and has been charged with murder is just mind-blowing... how did we even miss this sign? 
It's like the police just received an anonymous tip or something. Anyway, I hope justice is served and Abhijit gets the help he needs. This case is giving me nightmares 
. It's hard not to wonder what could have led Abhijit Patel down such a dark path - was it a culmination of years of unresolved family issues or perhaps a momentary loss of impulse control? 
It's also worth noting that this case highlights the importance of community resources for addressing domestic violence and other forms of abuse - we need to make sure our society is equipped to provide help and support to those who need it most 
.
This is just heartbreaking, I'm thinking about his dad's family right now... I mean, who would do such a thing to their own flesh and blood? 
It's like, you'd think that parents have a special bond with their kids, but I guess some people just don't get it. 
anyway, gotta make sure justice is served but this whole thing is just so senseless 
. But seriously, it's crazy how violent things can get in real life, right? I guess you could say Abhijit Patel really 'pounded' the final nail into his dad's coffin 
. Anyways, hope he gets some help and turns his life around – no one deserves to be in a situation like that!
. It's all so senseless and shocking. Can't believe someone can be so violent towards another human being. Justice will hopefully be served, but I gotta wonder what triggered this guy to do something so horrific 
. and now he's facing serious charges... hopefully justice will be served and he'll get the punishment he deserves. it's gonna be a tough road for Anupam Patel's loved ones too 
my thoughts are with Anupam Patel's family and loved ones right now 
it's just so sad that this tragic event had to happen in their lives... hope Abhijit gets the help he needs before his trial... maybe counseling or therapy? 
, that some guy's dad got beat up like a punching bag 
. I mean, 67 is old, but he still got whacked in the head, like, what's next? A senior discount on the crime scene 
. But seriously, who does that to their own flesh and blood? Abhijit Patel's gonna have to answer to the authorities, and hopefully, he'll get a life sentence... or at least a really good therapist to work through his issues 
. The Cook County medical examiner is like the ultimate party pooper, though – all they did was confirm what everyone already knew: it's a real mess
