Patrick Crusius' father admits to nearly 40 years of drug addiction (TR)
UK Daily Mail ^ | 08/04/2019 | Ryan Parry and Josh Boswell

Posted on 08/04/2019 1:48:28 PM PDT by DFG

The father of the 21-year-old man arrested for the El Paso shooting massacre was a drug addict for almost 40 years and is now an energy healer who claims to have had visions of Jesus Christ and his dead grandmother, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Patrick Crusius allegedly killed at least 20 people and injured 26 on a gun rampage which began in a Walmart parking lot in El Paso, Texas on Saturday morning before he was arrested by police.

His father, Bryan Crusius, 63, revealed in a 2014 memoir details of the broken home his son grew up in, confessing to decades of drug and alcohol abuse that led to the breakup of both his first marriage and his 18-year relationship with the alleged shooter’s mother.

The book offers some insight into the mass shooter’s upbringing - but not what turned him into an apparently white supremacist-inspired multiple murderer who was cold-blooded enough to make sure he was taken alive.

This comes as no surprise. Studies have shown that nearly all mass murderers come from broken homes.

Did anyone actually read his manifesto?

Why would he be cold blooded enough to be taken alive in a state that has the death penalty? Is he looking for a show trial?

Not only that, but have a look at this photo of Crusius from Fox News.

Aha! I’ve long suspected that some of the mass murderers were very political, very conniving and very deceitful. They were not what they tried to appear to be.

Do a browser page search of “parents” or “stop the alt right” on the following page. Betts’ parents are radical leftists.

Yes, I did and in my opinion based on everything he did not write it. Sounds like something a Lefty wrote trying to air grievances with the typical litany of issues

This morning on Fox TV the Mayor of Dayton said their shooting was “the 250th mass shooting so far this year.” We can’t believe that’s true Unless you count the drive-by gang shootings in Democrat cities.

So how many victims make a “mass shooting?” Is there a valid list of such events?

Crusius’ father is supposedly an avowed atheist.

Source ?

His website has typical AA language.



I believe in treating the ‘whole’ person: Body, Mind and Spirit. My practice is ecumenical with regard to ‘Spirit’. I agree with AA (Alcoholics Anonymous): Recovery from addiction is difficult to impossible without reliance on a Higher Power.

So how many victims make a “mass shooting?”


How many people would OJ Simpson have
to kill before he is a murderer?
Evidently more than two.

I don’t think, in this case,
AA means Avowed Atheist. :p

Freepers don’t read articles much less manifestos

There is actually stuff in his manifesto 90% here would agree....to be honest maybe even 99% here

But don’t let that get in the way of a good Hee Haw

Here’s a link for anyone who wants to actually keep up with details

https://purelyboston.com/2019/08/03/breaking-el-paso-shooters-manifesto-reportedly-leaked-online/

Folks here are expecting a civil war ....it’s events like this on both sides which will precipitate it and especially when the perps get more organized or professional

No question

Each event will trigger a reaction and so forth

It starts with crazed zealots which is precisely how John Brown was viewed till revisionist today call him a hero....funny how that works

Depends on who wins

This is damn sure ugly and nonsensical

This white supremacist murdered mostly his fellow whites....

Crazy folks or disturbed folks can always find motivation

Bull that manifesto could have been written by your average Freeper except for the off the rails part

His grievances are much like ours

He just decided to go kill innocents over it

I just reread it again

Please don’t feel me these are deep state ops

I am confused. Did this guy have a vision of Christ’s dead grandmother AKA St. Ann or his own dead grandmother?

I think it was on a MyLife site.

I have been surfing far too much today.

It’s the thousands of “Baby Daddies” doing the shooting and killing.
