Right-Wing Hate Groups Are Recruiting Video Gamers

John, a father of two in Colorado, had no idea what his 15-year-old son had gotten into, until one night last year when John walked into his home office. We're not using his last name to protect his son's privacy.

John saw a large pile of papers facedown next to his printer. He turned them over and found a copy of a notorious neo-Nazi propaganda book. "It's 'the white culture's in trouble, we are under attack by Jews, blacks, every other minority.' It was scary. It was absolutely frightening to even see that in my house. I was shaking, like, 'What in the world is this and why is it in my house?' "

John confronted his son angrily.

"I was through the roof." And then, "I went back into my room. I was crying. I felt like a failure that a child that I had raised would be remotely interested in that sort of stuff."

Leftist groups and universities are constantly blaming white men for all evil. Do they really think people are just going to take that? They are the ones creating hate groups.

But at least now the situation is simplified, there is now only one enemy to deal with instead of two.

“Playing with strangers” That’s it right there. Teach your kids not to take candy from strangers, don’t look for a stranger’s puppy and don’t play online games with strangers. Stranger danger.

We really need to push back at the media for labeling Nazi-esque groups as ‘right wing’. The Nazi’s were NEVER ‘right wing’, they were socialist and therefore, left wing. The same holds true for the neo-Nazi types.

It took time, but lately, John says, his son, now 16, seems to have left these ideas behind. He's playing fewer networked shooter games, and on his own, he has started attending church.

It must have difficult for NPR to want to admit religion might be the solution to this alleged problem.

Church is LITERALLY the LAST word in the article.
