I have some sympathy for the parents
I DO NOT

ACCESSORY TO ATTEMPTED POLITICAL ASSASSINATION
I can only imagine what they must be feeling.
NONE! Unless they are truly that oblivious they had no idea their son’s mental state, that he was making IEDs in the house, they never spoke and heard any odd language...I have ZERO sympathy for the Columbine killers either. For instance, when my teenage was living in the main house, I stuck my head in his bedroom several times a week, with the auspices of checking in, looking for something, I need something in your closet, etc. AND, that was all with him being a perfect Chad, church attending, great grades, athlete, etc. These folks really had NO IDEA their son had ANY issues? I don’t buy it. They knew he was messed up and they said nothing until it was too late. I’ll speculate further, they may have been accomplices, and perceive their son to be a hero, AKA the hamas and their brave, raping, murdering or suicide vest wearing sons. I apologize in advance if that is all false.
The kid was a beta dork loser. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably losers, too.
I don’t know if some of those commenting here realize what a slippery slope we’d go down, to suggest holding parents to blame for an adult son’s behavior. So many people seem willing to go there before they have any real proof that the parents realized what the son was about.
