I'm Torn on what to say about the shooting deaths of Greg Griego, his loving wife Sara, and 3 of their beautiful young children. One of their sons is the suspect, and reportedly has confessed. There are other details I just don't feel comfortable in sharing, out of respect for the family, and the legal process. I know a lot of you are wondering what happened & why. We may never know fully or completely. He was a friend, & This I DO know: Greg was an ex con and former Gangbanger who Completely turned his life around through his Faith in Jesus. Greg, with the full support & blessing of his wife and family, spent the rest of his life visiting Jails & Prisons, sharing his story and changing Lives through the Love of Christ. He became a Chaplain & Pastor, and worked tirelessly at MDC in what used to be called "The God Pod". He encouraged and mentored so many of us in the Jail Ministries over the years. I can't pretend to speak for him...but I KNOW he would have asked us to Forgive the one who did this awful thing, because he never thought it was too late to change a person's heart & mind. Greg knew he himself was imperfect, and I know he struggled with his faults (as we all do) over the years. I also know he never believed there was Any man beyond the redemption of Jesus. Please honor his memory & life's work, by showing Love, Compassion & Forgiveness to those who have done wrong & even horrible things. Let us all Fast & Pray, and examine our hearts towards those who commit crimes, have mental illness, and feel hopelessly alone. May our Great & Mighty God protect us all, and see us through this darkness.
Interesting:
The Albuquerque Journal reports that neighbor Peter Gomez said he saw the boy walk with siblings and his parents through the neighborhood regularly, and he wore nothing but camouflage stuff. Greg Griego turned his life around after being in a gang.
Griego reportedly served in Desert Storm, and Nehemiah told neighbors he wanted to be a soldier. He always wore army clothing and camouflage, but he wasnt allowed to play violent video games, according to one neighbor, since the boys parents didnt allow anything dirty or violent and limited TV watching.

Steve Stucker is a local institution and great guy. I’ve met him on a couple occasions. He does the morning weather on channel 4 and always ends the broadcast with “And may God bless.”, he is very active with the local animal humane and pet adoption, supports many local charities. He would be in a position to know of what he speaks.
Hm, then is it a false-flag op?
It says something when the government acts so immorally that what was “raving conspiracy theory” is now quite plausible.
Home schooled, Christian family, ASSAULT WEAPON in the home, Three dog whistles all in one story.
Not sure what to think at this point. A lot of the typical 'marks' are not there - parents were married (I thought this might have been a second marriage from the NY Daily News coverage, but that does not appear to be the case), no violent TV or video games. This one is going to defy all the typical memes about environment, from what I can see. What still remains is finding out about the internal family and whether the kid was on brain hash. But the left is gonna have a field day with this one for pursuing much of their agenda.
