Barbecuing inside is proof enough of mental issues. Carbon monoxide builds up fast and can cause severe brain damage if it doesn’t kill you outright. The fact that he seems to want to share this with homeless people makes me wonder if he’s not some kind of sadistic freak…

Seems to me it is too late on the brain damage side.
I know where he can get some fresh turkey to grill. Just a short trip to Grass Valley.

im guessing that he did it inside, and also invited homeless inside also, to have other people present to resist the demoshliment of the home? sounds logical to me anyway.

Seems like Mom is an innocent victim here. Her son is a bum who lets his parents live in such bad conditions that the house is condemned and her old man is trying to kill her.
