Another article on this incident did ID him as their father. The nut sure doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

Clearly, parenting classes need to be part of the irresponsible adult's sentence; oh wait....too late!

Wow, all three arrested for something that started on the topic of religion.

Which side were they on?

I'm guessing it wasn't "Do unto others what you would have others do unto you" -- but that's just a guess. -rc

@Jim in SW Illinois: Roger that.

Reading the story on the KSDK website, it mentions the judge set a $30,000 bond for these three religious scholars. It seems a bit low to me, but what do I know?

Even if that's not each, it's hard to believe those guys would have $30K sitting around for such a purpose. Or even 10% of that, which is often accepted. -rc

If they are both his sons, and both 18, I assume they're fraternal twins?

They look like identical twins to me, discounting the facial hair differences. -rc

Hey...where's the mom?

Apparently, not in jail! -rc

@Eileen in San Jose: It wouldn't surprise me if she divorced the elder Neal.

Dad's clearly the most hammered of the bunch.

And I love the way "discussions" over religion, which usually promote understanding and concern for strangers, so often turn into these pitched battles - 3 on 1, no less!

Appears to be a congenital defect in which all members of the family suffer from lack of muscle tone in the neck. Apparently not the only congenital defect shared by all of them. But then, that's what often happens when the family tree goes straight up with no branches. Did somebody pee in the shallow end of the gene pool?

that gene pool needs chlorine,....by the truck load!

maybe the three of them are twins:]
