Oh jeez. How pathetic of this media entity painting the picture that the parents are to blame for their nutcase son murdering them and their other children. The parents had perfect reason to be paranoid of the government and the medical system which is Rife with satanic influence

Who told them to isolate, due to the threat of Covid?

”The government!”

So… if you know for a fact that evil people are trying to kill you with the COVID VACCINE… you are an extremist… what evil people we have in the media. Don’t question the deadly COVID VACCINE… or you will raise a child that will murder your family. That is the message here. How low can this psychopaths in our media go?

The Compost strikes again, a deluded reporter clinging to Old Democratic,’government is our god’,talking points as he swoons over a portrait of Hillary Clinton on his desk. Pee-uke

I wonder what their “extreme religious views” were.

exactly ... possibly the parents did all he said they did and drove him to slaughter his tormentors, but to also slaughter his young siblings is beyond the pale ...

“Oh jeez. How pathetic of this media entity painting the picture that the parents are to blame for their nutcase son murdering them and their other children. The parents had perfect reason to be paranoid of the government and the medical system which is Rife with satanic influence.”

I was thinking the same, and then you have this from the article:
“A common theme that has been expressed amongst extended family, neighbors, and those who knew the Humistons is that the children were isolated from the outside world and did not engage socially with many peers – only a select few families that went to their church and were friends of their family,”

Pretty much describes how I raised my kids, and suspect many others here also raised their kids...but we’re still alive.

There’s no excuse for any of what he did. He deserves the death penalty.

Exactly. This should be the final comments by the court to that defense: Noted, guilty as charged. Maximum penalty.

This is not an opinion piece by the NY Post. This is a reporting what the court documents submitted by the shooter’s defense lawyer claims. They’ve expressed no opinion on the veracity of the claims made in the document.

I agree with you. He intended to kill them all. He deserves to be tried as an adult and sentenced accordingly.

Yes the price is high when people stop thinging things out before acting.

Which goes to prove the kid is a psychopath. Didn’t just kill his “tormentors” - he killed his “co-victims” as well.

The religion aspect is probably a red herring. Kids kill their parents for taking away their video game or cell phone. It’s a mental illness - nothing to do with religious upbringing, I’d venture to guess.

Exactly. Devoted Christians are sober and vigilant. They pay attention to who enters their lives and what’s going on with them and their children

Most people have a small circle of close friends with whom they visit and socialize. Most people have an organization with which they socialize. These people chose their church. If they were part of the social set at the country club, that would be the issue. Ask the Menendez brothers.

Maybe just maybe the parents were nut cases themselves. On one hand, we blame the parents when it’s a liberal or a leftist and on the other hand when it appears to be a religious survivalist, we excuse them. It just seems to me there’s more to the story before we go around making those kinds of judgments
