CARY, N.C. - The 20-year-old son of a North Carolina Court of Appeals judge threatened to damage a synagogue Saturday night and burned a cross in a town park last month, according to Cary police.

William Josephus Warden of Cary was arrested about 11 p.m. Saturday at the apartment complex where he lives on Preston Grove Avenue. He is the son of Judge Lucy Inman, who said in a statement that the arrest can be attributed to long-standing mental illness for which her son has sought treatment.

"Our observations and our communications with law enforcement lead us to believe that our son has been exploited by people whose agenda is completely opposed to the inclusive values we espouse and live," said the statement from Elliot Abrams, a Raleigh attorney who represents the family.

The cross-burning was hushed-up, and it seems, flyers Inman left around town. Parent cries 'exploited!!" File this under, "another stupid parent ignoring escalating signs"

Judge is a dem:

Judge does know better than to ignore signs as evidenced in her courtroom decisions:

Or, Judge Lucy, your training of your boy growing up left big holes and voids that could be exploited.

One look at her son’s photo makes me believe he really does have severe and chronic mental illness. He is high functioning, yes, but his judgement is still likely to be flawed. I can only speculate. I am not a doctor, but this young man appears to have classic Mongoloid features.

No mention of the father sperm donor.

He is the son of Judge Lucy Inman, who said in a statement that the arrest can be attributed to long-standing mental illness for which her son has sought treatment.

Right...a long-standing mental illness whose only visible symptoms were to turn her pudgy, zit-faced son into a racist and anti-Semite. I doubt Judge Inman would countenance such nonsense as a defense from any other person accused of burning crosses and threatening synagogues.

[robel]

At least the judge is admitting that being a democrat is a mental illness.

[metmom]

Let me guess at the party affiliation as it was NOT mentioned in the article.......

[HighSierra5]

Sounds like this loser was a perfect recruit for a false flag op for the Rats to pin on the usual suspects.... Those rotten, racist Republicans.

[Nifster]

The son looks like a bully. He has that smirk that says mommy will take care of it

[Nifster]

Pretty much

She showed common sense.

How’d that happen?

[dp0622]

You guys are hysterical. I didn’t notice sh.t in his appearance.

I HATE to have to say this, but if he was a black kid he’d be found guilty and shot by some here :)

He burned a ##$@ing cross!!!!

Yes, it IS safe to say it was a purposeful anti semitic action.

[dp0622]

Yeah lol

It’s the FIRST symptom listed for many mental illnesses :)

FYI: “Mongoloidism” is a 19th Century term for a condition known today as “Down’s syndrome”, or just Down Syndrome. It is not, repeat not, a mental illness, but a genetic flaw which occurs during pregnancy (as opposed to one which occurs to either parent before pregnancy). It's primary behavioral symptom is restricted intellectual functioning. Its principal physical symptom is a distinctive facial configuration, which can make Down’s children look more like other Down’s children than like their parents or siblings.

One of my cousins, and my best friend's daughter, have Down’s Syndrome. At one time this might have resulted in early death; in the past, few Down’s patients lived past early adulthood. Today, many survive to live reasonably happy, productive lives, with proper support and assistance.

And BTW, the picture posted with the article shows a young man, an adolescent boy really, who does not have any classic Down’s features.

The cross-burning was not reported at the time, Rhyne said.

Because the perp's mother is a Democrat and all the local media persons are Democrats.

[Tax-chick]

Correct. Whatever psychological issues the young man may have, he does not have Down Syndrome.

Liberalism IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!!

[AbolishCSEU]

She probably deemed the father “toxic masculinity” and chased him out of the boy’s life demanding only dad’s wallet in court ordered Matriarchy errrrr, I mean “Child” Support. Classic pattern. Boys with Alpha dads and moms who take control and guide their children seldom have kids “on the spectrum” (TM), “taking meds for anxiety” and my fav “Oppositional Defiance Disorder” (we used to call these “tan-trums”).

[Tax-chick]

The mother and father made a joint statement to the press, attributing the events to their son’s mental illness and bad associations.

Billy Warden, young William’s father, was married to Judge Lucy as of 2014. The fact that her last name is now “Inman” suggests a divorce and remarriage, but I haven’t found anything yet.
