No wait, he's a male and doesn't get the double standard excuse to commit murder.
Despite the best efforts of bigot minded feminists to put Darren Mack as a face to the father's rights movement, he's not. Bar none, every advocate for family law reform has denounced his actions in this case. Charles Weller on the other hand is the epitome of the judge we rally against. Weller is the face of why states need to remove the default power of custody awards away from family court judges. Weller is the face why divorce is all too often a punitive process to fathers (and sometimes mothers!) Weller is the face of judges endorsed by the community of sleeze ball family law attorneys and elected to preserve the cash flow of the all too lucrative divorce industry.
Further to the point, a father snapping like Darren Mack is the exception to the rule, not the norm. The profile of Charla Mack however is the norm for custody cases. What is even more hysterical is feminists trying to portray her as someone attempting to escape an abusive relationship. That's quite an escape; she refused to escape his 'control' without full custody, nearly $11k a month in support, a million dollar house, and sticking him with the $600k in debt she racked up. Now WHO was being the control freak in this case?
While Darren snapping is an unexcusable exception to the rule, it is too bad we can't say the same for mothers who made it necessary for safe haven child abandonment laws. Apparently dumping your newborn in a trash can to die IS excusable. Funny how feminists weren't lining up to spin Scott Peterson some sort of post partum depression excuse.
So when you search around blogspot on this case, keep in mind which side of this argument is asking for a double standard for murder, full custody of children, and a fat monthly payment for 20 years plus with no accountability for any decision they've ever made.
What is pretty much shameful are blogs devoted to trashing a movement based ONLY on equal rights in parenting.
UPDATE FOR THOSE IN WASHINGTON
Not 24 hours from this post, a woman in Washington uses the safe haven law to dump her newborn kid.

Spot on post!
Clearly the system is to blame for this entire situation and many more train wrecks just like it which didn't happen to result in dead people.
Fair and reasonable divorce laws coupled with the absence of carbon copy personalities like
Weller, and the woman would still be alive today. There is too much money at stake to seriously address the root cause of this crime. The feminists/family court harpies portray the children as only the mother's property.
Children NEED both parents. The only group opposing this point of view are the ones that have a monetary interest in the status quo.
I would be in favor of a law which required the bottom feeding court appointed psychologists to ask the children which parent they would choose to no longer see. Let's all be clear about what is really being decided here. Children won't think this is a good idea at all.
If by default every custody case was 50/50, there would be no need for this number of court appointed parasites and family law attorneys we have currently.
Of course no one that is awarded $10k a month in private welfare and full custody of the child is going to think this is a good idea.
So we are spending federal dollars on hardend windows for court houses. We are handwringing about what a control freak all men are that aren't thrilled with dishing out spousal support to someone they are't married to anymore. Lots of pundits are theorizing on what made this guy snap. How about we use the benchmark of being involved with family court for ten years?
