Florida Man throws son off cliff, blames king

In a bizarre incident, a Florida man identified as Absalom threw his own son off a cliff and then blamed his actions on the king. According to witnesses, Absalom was furious with his son for not obeying him and for siding with his enemies.

Reportedly, Absalom had been vying for power and wanted to overthrow the king. However, his plan backfired when he was defeated in battle and had to flee. In a fit of rage, he took his anger out on his innocent son and threw him off a cliff to his death.

When questioned by authorities, Absalom claimed that he was only following orders from the king. He argued that the king had given him permission to take whatever action necessary to win the war. However, this claim was quickly refuted by the king himself, who was shocked and appalled by the despicable act.

In the end, justice was served and Absalom paid the ultimate price for his heinous crime. His actions serve as a reminder that power and ambition can lead people to commit unspeakable acts.
