It was an "inflammatory" question -- but you'd have to admit, he kind-of "walked right into it" with his comment.

No, I disagree. You asked at what point "we" collectively started calling 22 year olds "kids" and he said when his kid was born, 22 years ago. That doesn't at all imply that his son is at all like the victim in this case. He's stating, somewhat tongue in cheek perhaps, that as we get older we refer to those younger than us as "kids", and also perhaps that we as a society treat our young adults more like kids, for many reasons, many of which probably played into this shooting. (Sorry Bob if I'm putting words in your mouth.)
To imply his son is a "loser" because he refers to him as kid is a low blow.
