The mother of Oklahoma beheading and stabbing suspect Jah’Keem Yisrael, also known as Alton Nolen, has released a video defending her son. In the video, she says she understands what her son is being "accused" of but hopes that justice and the truth will prevail. She apologized to the families of the victims while repeatedly saying, "That's not my son."
"There's two sides to every story and we're only hearing one," she said. "I’m praying that justice will prevail, the whole story will come out. The whole story."
Yisrael's sister also made a statement in the video, saying her brother has never been a violent person, that her family in shock and asked that people keep them in their prayers.
Oklahoma Beheading Suspect Alton Nolen's Mom Responds
Yisrael will be charged with murder and police have said his actions were premeditated.
Meanwhile, police have arrested a second Islamic man who was threatened co-workers with beheadings. More from the Washington Times:
A fired Oklahoma City nursing home employee was arrested Friday for allegedly threatening to behead a co-worker — less than 20 miles from where Alton Alexander Nolen is accused of beheading a co-worker the day before.
Jacob Mugambi Muriithi, 30, is being held in the Oklahoma County jail on a terrorism complaint. His bail is set at $1 million, The Oklahoman reported.
Ping for Jesse and Al. You guys need to get to Oklahoma.
“That’s not my son!”?? As in, you got the wrong guy or, as in, no son of mine would do anything like that?
“He Looks An Awful Lot Like My Son(Brother),But That’s Not Him”???????????????????????????????
Most Muslims are peaceful... Yada yada yada...
Hhhuuummmm, so there is the side where her son cuts the head off a co-worker and then there is the side where her sons co-worker is dead...what am I missing.
Wants “the whole story” to come out -
how some YT dissed him and set him off.
“....hopes that justice and the truth will prevail. “
Jeffrey Dahmer’s mother probably loved her son too.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be to find out that your child grew up to become a monster.
““That’s not my son!”?? As in, you got the wrong guy or, as in, no son of mine would do anything like that?”
I’m thinking she’s saying, “This son I once knew has gone over the deep end. I don’t even recognize him anymore.”
As tempting as it is to pile on the family, there are times when kids completely rebel against all they’ve been taught.
The mother et al cannot justify or excuse what this person did. At all.
That may not have been the son you raise...but that is your son...there's no doubt it was him.
As for justice prevailing...he should be executed for intentional homicide in the first degree. That would be justice.
He may very well have been a completely different person before he converted to the “Religion of Peace.”
I always hate these stories. The mother obviously is wrong but she nevertheless is a mother who is dealing with the horror of her son committing a terrible crime. Of course she is going to defend him. I usually will give these mothers and fathers a couple weeks to say whatever they want and get it out of their system before I start to criticize them.
If our current “justice” system will target gun and ammunition sellers for the crimes committed by someone in possession of their product, why can’t the imams and mosques be held accountable for the actions taken by someone after becoming one of their “flock”. this is the result of nothing but coaching by the muslim leaders as far as I can tell.
I'm guessing they're living off us taxpayers too.
Maybe she is disowning the person he became?
Might be wishful thinking though...
“I’m praying that justice will prevail,
I’m surprised she didn’t say that he was planning to go to barber school.
Oops, the razor slipped. /sarc
