New Mexico homeschooled teen Nehemiah Griego accused of murdering family constantly wore camo

The 15-year-old was charged with two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse for the Saturday slayings, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department said. In a social media profile, Nehemiah called himself a ‘fun loving guy.’

The New Mexico 15-year-old accused of fatally shooting his parents and three innocent siblings constantly wore camouflage gear, neighbors said after the murders rocked the tiny town in the outskirts of Albuquerque.

Nehemiah Griego was "fairly quiet, not real rowdy that we could tell,” neighbor Jerry Crites told

CBS affiliate KRQE in Albuquerque. “He seemed to be just a normal kid walking up and down the road.”

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department says Griego used multiple weapons, including a military-type assault rifle, when he allegedly gunned down his family Saturday night in rural South Valley, just outside Albuquerque.

Cops say he shot his pastor dad, Greg Griego, 51; his father's wife Sara Griego, 40; and three of their children: a 9-year-old boy, Zephania Griego, and daughters Jael Griego, 5, and Angelina Griego, 2.

Where did you get the idea that there was divorce? For the life of me, I'll never understand why people on both sides of the political spectrum rush to try to categorize people that do these terrible things.

DUers are orgasmic that this was a Christian Homeschool Family.

Here, some Freepers were rushing to categorize them as godless Democrat public school divorced drug heads before all the information was out.

That type of behavior is ridiculously stupid when either side does it.

Its playing on prejudice to sell papers, pure and simple.

Or else it's the left's next target in the "Fundamental Transformation" of America (after the second amendment is gone).

Because it, along with all of the other statist “catch phrases” in the article serve to further alienate the states followers from those considered the enemy. In their world, horrible things are the result of anything that reeks of individualism. Home school and you produce “unsocially adjusted children”, wearing camo indicated you think about killing people all the time, having a semiautomatic rifle means you will be lulled by it’s siren song into doing the deed...

The mentally ill are seldom stupid. This sick twisted person knows that the press will blame guns, homeschooling, his parents but not him. He will get his name and picture spread through out the world. The media will use him for their anti-gun agenda like they used Levi Johnson against Palin.

It’s the father’s wife language, the 10 year age differential the age difference between the 15 year old the little ones, all adds up to second marriage, not cool for a man of God

In other articles she is referred to as his mother (as in he killed his mother) and that there are a total of 10 children, but not all were home at the time.

I thought everyone knew that evil Military Industrial Complex was placing subliminal messages in the complex weave, lines, and patterns of Camo. Only psycho’s can decipher it.

The message in this case was ‘Kill your family so we can ban assault weapons’.

What makes you think the parents were divorced? Not true from what I’ve read.

Greg Griego’s brother was a former state senator:

I think the message that you are supposed to pick up is to be very concerned. Do you not see the American flag? The Cammo, and hear the word: Homeschooler?

You should be running for your life.. not posting on a Republican terrorist website.

Be wary of those who wear “camo” , “act Ninja”, “dress in black” for no apparent reason. These are indicators that something is not copiststic, there is an obvious deviation from the norm. We have to learn to look for it and report it.

The left are simply anti-Christian/anti-God, so will have a kneejerk negative response to anything that they viscerally know God desires.

The press is trying to make the case that he’s a killer because somehow he’s ‘conservative’. When it comes out that he worshiped Satan the press will give that a pass... All the school killers were democrats - the prison system is waaaay over 90% democrat, and so are Chicago street gangs.

The press doesn’t want the connections made between criminals and democrats so they’ll attempt to do their ‘everyone does it’ bullshit.

Where did you get the idea that there was divorce?

Because the 40 year old woman is referred to as the husband's wife, not the shooter's mother. Sorry for going with the information as presented. BTW, the local papers says she is the shooter's mom, so I will see what comes out over the next few days.
