He wasn’t playing with the gun. He murdered his father. Shot several times? Yeah, he wasn’t playing!
Of course he did...his female counterpart told the news it was planned!!
Exactly 😮😮😮😮😮
His father said stop playing with the gun. He was playing with the gun.
He knew what he was doing
@@lulud7540”stop playing” said by a black man, does not mean he was “toying around” with the gun. That man was warning him not to do what he was about to do
Damn, imagine being a father, spending time serving your country and your community just for your biggest enemy to be your own son
I'd say it was his ex wife, that twisted the son.
@@Alarik52 you must hate women
🙄 it's always somehow a woman's fault...
@@katiefountain2407 meanwhile the video clearly says the son was upset because he felt like the father left him and his mom to struggle. Look at a nice house that dad was in.... He probably didn't even take care of his son.... These no good men always try and blame the mom for everything but failed to blame their absence
@@Alarik52 I bet you would say that. You probably don't take care of your kids just like this man wasn't taking care of his son.
Father against Son, Mother against daughter, Brother against brother!!! Revelations!!!
Dogs and cats - living together!
💯
So sad the Bible speaks of terrible times and the last days. 😢
@@karentyler436why is it "sad" to understand our reality? There are good days and bad days. It's that simple.
The cool thing is that there can never be an "end" without a "start".
The "end of days" is only but the start of a new beginning.
Yes, “the end is near”. Never heard that before, for like the past 2k years.
Didn’t die in combat but die by his own son
Disgusting. And some people wished they had their fathers in their lives. He just ruined his family. 😔 RIP Mr Bass.
🙏 😇
He obviously was one of them and that's why he was troubled. Didn't you hear but he said about his father abandoning him and his mother and leaving them to struggle? My two half siblings feel the same way about the father who raised me because he stayed with my mother but he left his two oldest children to be raised by their mother because their mother had bipolar disorder and was abusive towards my dad so he divorced her. She kept custody of the kids and my dad remarried. Both of my older siblings are homeless with mental disorders and on drugs.😢 Anyways, he wasn't raised by his father. All around is a very sad situation.
@@Pugetwitchright, they missing that part where he said Dad abandoned him, yet Dad going to work everyday taking care of other people kids
@@Carolyn-vh4nzhis mom probably forced his dad out of the house in exchange for welfare checks and then told the boy whatever she wanted to tell him to poison his mind
@@Pugetwitchdo not blame your father. You may have made the same decision if you were in his shoes
I'm curious how was he able to shoot his father multiple times by " accident " 🤔
Did you see a different video where someone mentioned accident? I only watched this one which never brought up “accident.”
@@TheHardcardThe reporter said in the beginning of the report that it was no accident that implies that in their investigation the accused said it was also the point was made that he was playing with the gun and that too implies that he's saying he didn't mean to do it and this was a accident or unintentional shooting.
@@TheHardcard If you listened in the begining you would have that mentioned!! you and the thumb up's
My family members were there when this happened he told me that his son had pulled up and showed a gun and the father said “boy put that gun down before you shoot someone” and then shot the father
@@princetyler9886 Wrong and wrong. saying it was no accident it’s just a statement of a claim and doesn’t mean anyone ever said otherwise. Also, no one made the point that he was playing with a gun. The father said, “ stop playing with that gun.” there is no indication that the son said that’s what he was doing.
The only reference to the sons thoughts came from the witness who claimed to be told that the visit to his dad would be seen on the news. that would be someone saying they’re doing something intentional.
This man is 26 years old and still complaining about the way that he was raised. People need to grow up.
While I think it was on overreaction by him that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore or diminish the scars he's talking about.
Sounds like he was an absentee father, running around meanwhile being a father in the community though.
Well criminal behavior is being blamed on single mothers. Why does he get a pass?
You can blame his momma for that. He believed what happened to his life, and his mommas life was his Dad's fault. Child support does not raise kids.
@@reddnuckles Bruh he was raised by his dad. Next time utilize the word “no” and a napkin/sock. There are no sock babies to pay for according to rule of law. 😂
A lot BM do this .😭🤦🏽♀️ My brother is 50 and still complaining about the smallest stuff.
Ain’t nothing but the enemy and his demons…..Staying away from people is a art I mastered
Same.
thank you sensi
I feel you man. Not even safe to be with yr main family members
Exactly.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE ALL HAD TO LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY...
His statement to a female friend in Georgia demonstrates premeditation. Firing several shots demonstrates intent. Put him under the prison.
The 27-year-old and his thoughts and deeds were just those of a foolish and impatient child.
Cultivated by the mother, most likely
Why is actually being mentally ill so hard to believe in this situation
@@alstone5005i think you confuse mental illness with low impulse control and sheer evil. I know you liberals don’t think evil exists, but it does.
@@alstone5005because we are tired of that excuse.
@@user-ff5nv8ft6n Excuse? Are you tarded the man threw a gun in the air before going to shoot his Father multiple times. Don’t you fools consider the reality he may be insane and guilty.? I’m tired of the excuses as well. From you terrible excuses of humans that don’t use their heads when the perpetrator is Black
Blamed dad for his own shortcomings the real problem
Blame the dad? Really? Well, I can tell you don't take accountability. Yes, it was the dad's mistake in believing his own son wouldn't shoot him. Nobody forced the son to shoot. Explain how he is not at fault.
@@f.j.c4444reading comprehension not your strongsuit
I believe these were feelings that stemmed from childhood which he never got over, and not anything happening in his adult life. From my knowledge he was nearly 30 and living with his girlfriend. Those feelings of resentment or abandonment never went away. His childhood may have been rough.
@@budyfixitAnd accountability is not yours.
@buddy yet you don’t give explanation on what I miss? Or misunderstood?
I don't like that you can kill someone and say "i have mental health issues, I'm checking myself in for help" nah man that was a planned and executed murder, there's no helping that
People love using mental health issues as a catchall for everything.
Agreed.
In his mind his doing the “right noble” thing
The statements he made weeks before this he was obviously upset about his mom struggling with him growing up you or I don’t know what mental issues he had/have/has
Watching your father train cadets, and be a father figure to them to go home and not even recognize your own children 🤔
The Father did not deserve to die 🥀
But thats what sells..
Being a failure in life even though your dad gave you everything to succeed is not a mental condition.
Sounds like his military style father messed him up and abandoned him. Why are you saying that he gave him “everything”?
@@andreyromashchenko8967 the "mother" split the family and weaponized son against his father
@@heightsofsagarmathathat’s what it sounds like to me…
@heightsofsagarmatha Nah, the deadbeat dad paid for his neglect.
nobody warned him that his son was coming after him??
That’s what I was thinking
He didn't tell anyone he was going to take his father out. He just told a lady he needed to go to Texas and she will find out why later. Was she supposed to have his father's number?
@@CA-zn9bq Exactly.
He told her she would find out “why on the news. “ That’s pretty alarming to not warn anyone else.
@@jaileen4everwho was she supposed to warn?
If someone is approaching you with a gun in their hand, assume they are prepared to use it, and defend yourself appropriately. RIP
Who could kill their own father. I lost my father in 2000. He was only 53 years old. I loved him and he loved me. I wish I could get one more hug.
Did your father love you, it makes a difference.
Sorry, did he pass away because you came out of the closet?
His father wasn’t in his life to build a bond. He wanted what you have.
😢💯
I lost my father around 2000 too. Dont know his b-day or his d-day, just have couple okay memories and more bad memories about him. Good thing he wasnt in my life.
I dont love him.
You are accountable for how you end up in life, don't blame others for your failure in life. May Gene Bass rest in peace and my condolence to his family. 🙏🏿
Accountability never applies to megalomaniacal narcissists.
Bullsh!! Everyone should have a Mother and Father in their life and every parent owes it to their kids to be a dam parent in their life. I wish they could have worked it out but you dont know what kids go through in this tough world with one struggling parent. Now this man is going to have to answer to God when he reach those pearly gates and he gonna have to explain why he wasnt a Father to his son
@Carolyn-vh4nz the mother will answer for her part as well.
@@Carolyn-vh4nz Nobody doesn't deserve to die regardless of your boring statement. Some children are ungrateful and selfish, and I'm sure you're not the worlds greatest Mother , and if you don't have children then be quiet
@@user-hs2fv8jz9e I read my comment again, and dont see where I said he deserved to die really dude, you really going to flip my comment and make me say something I didnt. I was coming from a place of understanding where hundreds and thousands of black men wasnt raised with a Dad. Its tons of them and stop acting like you dont know this. This aint good. Its not a good look. Not saying this is the case here but too many times these black men noo longer like the Mom and takes it out on the kid. He didnt have to have a relationship with the Mother and many men dont understand this. Im sure that Mom didnt mind they were broken up but im sure she was like "Can you at least be in your Son life"? Im sure she was like "Have a relationship with your son, we dont have to have one". Many women are like this toward the Dad that wants out the relationship.
He intended to kill his father. A personal vendetta.
Grudges are bad Noo Doubt . . .
I never Met my Dad And I Would not Hurt Him like this .
Not even if he calls you a terrible father to your face.
@@asianconnection7701no excuses needed
Shot multiple times…how in the heck was that an accident ?! He BLAMED his dad for leaving him with his mother 🧐🤦🏻♀️. The EXCUSES in this man’s decision making is “LUDICROUS “. Condolences 💐 to the family and loved ones of the murdered veteran.
He said,” To struggle.” Don’t leave that part out.
@@SilkyDanielle-yeah but coming from a 27 year old man with a mustang. He could’ve found his own way by now. Sounds like he failed and his father was his scape goat. He didn’t give the dad a chance to be his hero if he needed lifting up.
I see the mothers toxicity transferred to the son.
She raised him.
@@Alarik52 If one cop kill a citizen, we blame all police. If one person does something outrageous, we blame the whole race, or the entire gender, or their parents/family…that was a 27 YEAR OLD MAN, who is talking about his upbringing and not his missed opportunities in the present. Immature in my opinion.
@@MsBellasworld Yes, most men raised by single mothers do tend to be immature.
This was premeditated, this is pure evil to take your own father’s life. It’s pure evil.
She said when the gun fired. Damn those guns firing on their own. 😂😂😂😂😂
There have been police issued guns doing this with the sig
Yeah that shyt wasn't no accident
wasnt no accident? so IT IS an accident?? 🤦♂️
My family members were there when this happened he told me that his son had pulled up and showed a gun and the father said “boy put that gun down before you shoot someone” and then shot the father
no kidding it wasnt an accident
This is why you have to leave most family alone. They are going to be jealous when you're doing your best!
I've been estranged from my family, including my mother, since 2013, and it is going to stay that way for sanity and my safety.
@@jorgejiminez-rk1uu Thats asians here they will sale your Crap once your gone!!!!!
✌🏽yep
@@reginayfavorsamen to that
Sad but very true, I live it 😢
The dude had a long drive to contemplate what he did. Childhood trauma doesn't just go away. His father being in the military and different states makes me believe he wasn't available. Also, it looks like he lived comfortably.
Sounds like the father was both tough and indifferent towards his son.
His dad left his mother. No one has to marry because of a child. People choose who they want to make a life with.
@barbarahenderson1116 Genius,no one said that...
@@barbarahenderson1116and look at what that got this man, getting shot and killed by his own biological son in his own home that he could afford living alone and from a career of raising other people's kids.
That girl should have called the police or at the very least his Dad when he said "you'll see it on the news". What a POS..
So instead of being a grown up and taking responsibility for yourself you blame your dad and then kill him? These stories are always so sad to hear. I was fortunate to grow up with married parents that loved and doted on me, but even with an ideal upbringing you still have to take account for your adult choices. Sounds premeditated to me. You tell someone you're driving to Texas and you'll know why when you see it on the news. Yeah premeditated go straight to jail.
You’ll never know what it’s like…a father not being in his son’s life can have horrible consequences. Thank your parents if they’re still with us in this reality of living.
@@jamesphillips5868 Lots of times these fathers want to be in their kids lives, but the mother (as part of his reason for murder) makes it difficult. Yet he still blamed the father.
What is evil ? Whatever springs from weakness, you’re absolutely right when you called him weak
@@robsawyer8034 More than likely, his Dad made no effort or he would have had visitation and child support.
Idk, sounds like youre part of the problem.
The guy needed timely therapy and much help. Yet youre proving that he was right about you and your community not understanding him.
My opinion.
Sometimes it’s not “be more responsible” sometimes it’s “how can i help”.
Saying something like, “When the gun fired” suggests you think the gun acted on its own.
It did, because the people who pull the trigger are "never at fault"
Our society has gone to hell.
yep.
Black society . Always been like that , they just brought their nonsense to America . That’s why God separated Good from Evil . White Flight now , white flight tomorrow , white flight forever .
Youre dramatic
When global humanity doesn't really enforce serious consequences for heinous criminals... ummm... yes, that's when you get people like Chump, Bezoz, Theranos chick, Aleggz Jonez, Ambur Hurd, Bankman-Fraud, Winesteen, this father-killin' dude and plenty more.
Really? 😅😅
The moment he made that statement he should’ve had the cops called on him. Sounds premeditated.
What, why didn’t they call the father and clue him in on what the son was saying⁉️ Guilty, for not intervening, seems they saw the warning signs, that was pinned up resentment which he probably had talked about…so sad😮
Those were my same thoughts
A real tragedy 😢
He shouldn't have abandoned his son...have a whole career yet left your son to struggle. BM even do this to their biracial kids..🤦🏽♀️
Damn sad to see a brother fallen not from battle but from an idiot at home.
I definitely don't want kids these days, these mofos don't care who you are anymore, granny, mother, brother, old elderly woman in line, they will harm you like it's nothing. Your own son is your enemy, smh
This is happening all over , children are killing parents, grandparents, siblings it like what more is there to come, it’s terrible,
Nah these parents are out here being horrible to their kids and expecting to get away with it. Dude was wrong but there's alot of trash parents out here
Having kids is a selfish decision anyways. This world isn't kind and being human isn't exactly 24/7 rainbows and sunshine.
Wow wtf is wrong with these kids that why my kids cannot come back home
That's why I'm childfree by choice, with no regrets
@@barbarajohnson3876 I also don't have any children. Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake by not having children.
Killing your own father, no words.
Abandoning your own Son and leaving him and the Mom to struggle... No Words!
@@Carolyn-vh4nz There are things as a person you just never do. Killing your own father, is one of those things.
@@lo5182 I agree and dont forget the other thing you should never do is abandon your children
@@Carolyn-vh4nz He wasn't perfect. But it doesn't mean he deserves the death penalty. If you don't understand that, I have no other words to say.
@@lo5182 the Son may not of been ergect but it doesnt mean he should be struggling in poverty while Dad living his life like its golden. Stop acting like you dont see my point
Accidentally pulling the triggers multiple times? Uh-huh. Right.
No one said accident buddy
His own son smh….. he will never be half the man his father was!!
Abandoning his son and his wife to struggle doesn’t deserve all that flattery that you're giving that father.
@@andreyromashchenko8967 if they struggle it’s because the mom. She could have easily got child support and worked.
That's plain cold blooded murder
Homicide
I served with xavier in alaska... wow bro. Your own dad!? I can't believe this... rest in peace MSG Gene Bass
Scott Adams was right
Premeditated. So sad that this loser didn’t know what to do with his life and took his own father’s life to prove No point. Now he finally found what to do with his life (rot in jail). So sad for this loss
There is never a justifiable excuse for murder, especially of one's own father. One must take responsibility for oneself and strive to become a better person; this is a task that no one else can accomplish for you.
I didnt hear excuses. I heard what has driven him to kill his father.
When you’re raising a child, keep in mind what drove the guy. And dont dismiss it as an excuse. Its a MOTIVE.
Alot of black men do THIS. Just because you don't wanna be with the mom anymore doesn't mean you don't have to be there for your child
Deadbeats come in all sizes, shapes and colors.
Rest In Peace 🕊️ 🌺🌹 Mr. Bass.
The demons got to him.
Stop that nonsense
Yup
..So, demons are guilty or the son?
@@joefair9672 weak minds are open portals for demons.
That’s so sad. She should have told the father. This is why it’s so important for kids to understand that it’s not their fault parents split up. Parents shouldn’t talk badly about the absent parent in front of the kids.
This is really too bad! May Master Sgt. Bass RIP.
Sounds like murder.
Homicide!
How very tragic. The father seems like a stellar person and man. I'm sorry for the rest of the family.
He is an adult now. Adults with lingering daddy issues have to let it go. Forgive, forget, whatever...move on.
Childhood trauma is real the statement he made too other says enough too see his mom struggle & the father was like a father to other young cadets, so sad he couldn’t seek help for his temporary feelings childhood trauma never leaves the mind if there’s no help may his dad rest peacefully 🥀
Only comment that made sense.
Those aren’t temporary feelings. I mean NOW yes they will go away since he got his closure. And if they still didnt go away you can be sure he wont choose to live.
Xavier was raised by his dad !!!!
Wow. Now this is something you used to NEVER see with black children. Absolutely awful!!!
never used to see it with white children either.
She didn't call the police with this information? Nice
He wasn't playing. What a thing to say to your adult son
Could be the phrase that “triggered” XD it.
People who blame others for their problems are sometimes sociopathic/psychopathic or with malignant narcissism. If he is someone with antisocial personality, he will want to take the stand or even represent himself.
Dont bail on your kids cause it causes a lot of pain.
They blek. That's what they do.
Sorry your father left you. He probably left your mother not you. but keep holding it in
Exactly* You leave your kids & expect for them to respect you?Delusional
Often times it’s the mother using children as tools of revenge.
@@lulud7540 my dad changed his phone number after I turned 18. Never try'd to call or contact in any way. 18 years later he Facebook's saying how he wants to be a grandpa. I told him to fuk off. 18 years.
My dad got my mom pregnant then married her best friend. My mom struggled working 2 jobs for over 30 years to raise me. My Dad definitely was a rolling stone. I never thought about harming him. Instead I wanted to be a better man. I graduated from college, then earned a Medical Doctorate degree. Today I'm a board certified medical doctor in Atlanta. The path to get me where I am today was very hard. I never blamed anyone for my struggles. My life today is blessed. This was a very sad story to hear.
Here me out; seeing your father play a role in other kids through the JROTC PROGRAM knowing you had a struggle life with your mom could be damaging and hurtful for a child. But nonetheless he was wrong and May he face swift justice for his actions
Sure he was wrong. But i wonder if he feels wrong. Or did he get his closure? Is his trauma still eating him alive or did it finally let him free.
You know this reminds me of the last thing my father told me
“SON! STOP PLAYING WITH THAT GUN!!”
I’m not saying he should’ve took his dads life but if you have a dead beat dad those strong feelings of hate do build I remember wishing death on my dad for abandoning me with my crazy mom but I realized he’s not worth sitting behind a jail cell but for some people it is I hope the dude finds peace
Sounds like first degree murder. He plotted, drove hundreds of miles, then executed his plan. Sad story.
Damn man imagine getting killed by the person who gave you life that’s just sad.
@Vgking0 ..The son did not give life to the father, it was the other way around.
What an idiot, and she didn’t think it would make sense to call the police. SMH dad could be alive today.
He should've been reported as soon as he told the neighbor his intentions. Report name, vehicle tag, address etc asap. Lack of mental health is nothing to play with.
Why would any grown person toss the gun in the air
My family members were there when this happened he told me that his son had pulled up and showed a gun and the father said “boy put that gun down before you shoot someone” and then shot the father

Sad sickening
Reoccuring story. Dad funnels energy and praise into people but his own kin see none of it.
How do you know it all! You must be a sad victim
Exactly. Shame!
That father son relationship must have had some bad history. A son doesn’t just kill his father on a whim
Sad just sad all away around.
I don't think the father was fully aware of the extent of his son's mental health condition. This is so terribly tragic. RIP Sergeant Bass. May the Lord's peace and comfort be over all who knew and loved him.
Mental health??? Some people are just plain evil.
What???
@@PrisonPreacher Didn't watch the video, did you?
@@illiniwood I sure did. Which is why I wrote what I did.
Blaming his dad because he is a loser.. wow.

His father seemed like a really good guy. May rest in peace.
A good guy doesn’t abandon his family to struggle without him.
The lesson: don’t have stupid kids. 🤷
Yep, yep, yep
Dude was wrong but alot of the older generation is blind to the damage theyre doing to their kids. Adult or not
Great point
So very sad. RIP Sir.
So sad. 🙏🏼
Damn, dont neglect your children..
Well, you can get it right with just the right amount of abuse. People just develop stockholm syndrome.
Wont be surprised if the military dad tried to apply the “tough love” to wards own family then failed and left his family to struggle.
Sad😢
Rest in Peace Master Sgt..HOOAH
RIP, that’s wild
One of the few of them lucky enough to have a father and he shows his appreciation by doing that? It’s truly disgusting and disturbing.
Omg. His father.. This is crazy crazy crazy. Sad for the family of Mr. Bass elder
Dude might have been a deadbeat dad....
everyone reading this:
check on your peoples. not everyone is doing good
Rest in peace my brother!!! 😭💔🙏
RIP Sir.
Wish my dad had been around when I was a little kid couldn’t imagine doing this to my father as an adult
Family. Friends. The most dangerous people that you will ever meet. Watch 'em.
How sad 😢
What is going on?!
Just listening to this makes my heart hurt rest in peace, Master Sergeant Gene Bass, Sir you did not deserve this.
You would be surprised how many people here wont quite yet agree with you.
Imagine if all children took this approach on men who leave the family …
There would be no men left in the world!
She should have alerted somebody in law enforcement
this family probably had a lot of issues within themselves, the dad was just a victim he didn't see it coming, the son took it personal on his up bringing being raised alone by the mom only ? there is always lots of issues with lots of families out there just not this one, sadly the dad just got taken out by the son unexpectedly R.I.P. To the dad. peace out.!
Be alert, never ignore red flags because there are countless millions of people in the US just like him.
Be careful how you treat your kids
That's a shame
