First sign of trouble - a 30-year-old with a degree from Princeton who gets an allowance from his father.

Authorities said he had no recent work history.

Another dead giveaway.

More than likely got a degree only because daddy donated to the school and no professor wanted to fail him (C+'s all the way). Think W. Bush.

Looks like he was holding out for a career as a trust fund baby.

Unless daddy had written him out of the Will…

Hmm…this is the kind of person that Conservatives worship. I wonder why.

Gilbert Jr. also attended Princeton, graduating in 2009…

Do the math. Yet another sign of trouble.

The toughest thing about any Ivy League school is getting admitted. It’s actually pretty hard to flunk out, even if you’re not a legacy.

I actually know the family. The suspect’s younger sister went to school with my daughter. I didn’t know the son – back then, we heard about him as a golden boy, an excellent student and athlete. Legacy or not, he seemed to be qualified for Princeton. The parents seemed involved and caring. I don’t know what happened to this guy – last I’d heard he was on Wall Street too. My heart really goes out to the mother. Imagine coming home to discover your husband’s body, knowing the killer was probably your son.

I’m not a conservative by any means, but what conservatives would worship a kid who shoots his dad?
