basically the neighbors say the dad is an angry weird loner. The interesting thing is that they really do seem to have found the website where Jared was getting his ideas. The guys running the website more or less said, yes, it sounds like he’s been reading our stuff. Loopy paranoid nonsense about the currency, immigrants and grammatical control.
It doesn’t matter what was on the internet. He lived in a home with two adults who were negligent in his care. Having been warned by the community college that their son was not mentally healthy they did what? nothing? Or did they contact a doctor and he did nothing? I’m amazed at how the media is not even asking these questions. The whole story has turned into a conversation about whether or not we need to restrict the internet due to right wing extremists.
Reminds me of the Andrea Yates story - the woman who killed her children. Who did Katie Couric blame that on? the husband? the right wing Christians? If memory serves, that was the template of the media at the time. She wasn’t responsible - her Christian husband made her do it.
