This is sad. This guy could have been anyone's nephew, leave the uncle alone.
You can tell he's destroyed by this, really feel bad for the guy, hope things go well for him
They should have got this Thug some help
Think about it, how quickly this family was able to get on the local news and being to control the narrative. The shooters father ran for mayor in their city, owned a chain of grocery stores and more so, this kid an his family had everything in life but because little white boi is bored the rest of us have to live in fear. This family had everything to provide this kid with world class mental health, most of these shooters come from well to do suburban families but become bored at their insulated safe lives and then go out and ruin it for the rest of us hard working average folks. These people were having a day off but it was ruined by a suburban kid that doesn’t know about real suffering and hard work.
Most times they know their sicko family should not be in charge of a gun!!! So after it happens they all act surprised
These news guys are heartless vultures. It’s only about the next hot story.
I wouldn't be able to process this either... Sucks knowing he has to live with this. It's not his fault, this is heart wrenching.
Very true 😢💔
They're lying to you.
That's not his uncle.
The guy didn't even shed one tear.
FAKE PROPAGANDA MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh this poor man ... my goodness
The uncle tries to distance himself. He's your nephew living with you, and you're saying that you saw no signs. A monster inside doesn't create it overnight.
🐂…💩
I respect the guy coming out and apologizing. You know he’s sincere.
i dont respect him at all his nephew has not been found guilty and is technically legally innocent this is a dumb interview to give.
He came out to say him and his brother is well known and liked in their community. How do you live on the same property and not interact?
Conservative terrorism is a major problem in the US because conservative media and GOP politicians are radicalizing their base.
What does he has to apologize for
This seemed like he is desperate to disassociate himself from the killer as he doesn't want any consequences for himself ...
No interaction with your nephew, that you shared a house with. I believe this guy is remorseful but this just shows how adults ignore children and young adults and have no idea what’s going on in their lives.
And now we know he was lying! There were all kinds of warning signs
I think it’s not just about interactions, the guy have something wrong in his mind.
@@southwest203 American gun culture has a very dark side.
This. right. here!
The poor family didn't do this. Brave of the Uncle to be the family rep. You can tell he is terrified and devastated at the same time. I pray for everyone hurt today.
Sounds like he should've been more involved in his nephews life actually
So that dude became the monster he was on his own? Yeah bullshit, I bet they’re all trump supporting republicans.

I have zero sympathy for the shooter. None. But, my heart goes out to this man. It is not his fault.
He has special needs and the media want him to answer for his sick evil nephew. Pathetic
White Hen Pantry had really good roast beef & horse radish sandwiches 🥪 ‼️
@Kirby yeah he seems all there upstairs, i think they see him as special needs cus of his disjointed speaking? but i think he’s just in shock
Most of the time the family had no idea their family member is unhinged.
There is ZERO Actual grief, on this guys face .. it's not that he's malice, it just didn't happen as it's being presented.. These are all actors/ puppets ...
That man is in literal shock...he's just going through the motions, he'll definitely feel it later. I hope he finds peace. 🙏
That is actor Louis CK in a facial prosthetic/ disguise. It is all a big joke! This is actor based reality!
Considering that the UNCLE lived with him and the guys own BROTHER, ( the shooters dad) let him use his GUN and GUN permit I doubt he's really " feeling " much of ANYTHING...HES A SLIMEBAG TO....
@@jenleigh342 Get a rope for him!

Thank you for your comment...🕊
Interesting most people well white people in Amerikkka don’t believe that it goes like this:
Muslim Shooter: Entire Religion Guilty
Black Shooter: Entire Race Guilty
White Shooter: Mentally Challenged Lone Wolf
His apology was very genuine, this man has nothing to do with it. I hope everyone is nice to the uncle, my condolences and prayers go to the families affected by that monster.
His family accepted the facism
They lived together he’s down bad rn
It was an "apology" wrapped in a reminder that him and his brother are "good people" and are well known in the community.
In can feel this man is in distress.
Why was his uncle and dad raising him? Where is his mother??
His nephew did have a history and even his own family called the cops on him about a suicide attempt and another time for murder threats using his collection of knives. Several red flags that caught my attention in this interview: 1) the uncle lives with him, 2) the uncle says “everyone loves us”, 3) “if I did see signs, I would have said something”, 4) The uncle claims he never watched his work or saw his music videos, but says he’s a good artist.
I mean come on, someone in your family as colorful and odd as this kid is and you live in proximity, but you don’t know anything about that person? It looks like the uncle is covering and maybe speaking for the dad too.
Agree. I found this interview to be a bit off. Maybe the uncle is mentally disabled. Or he is the designated family clean up man.
Anyone who attempts suicide should be tracked and never allowed to own a firearm period.
@@WhatsupPattaya

Well his nephew is done! His whole life will now be given to DOC

The uncle is in a state of shock over what his nephew did. I would be too if I were a close relative of the young man. Prayers for all the victims involved. 💗🙏

@@bonnie7205 you two are so naive.
bullshit!
@@grlnexdoorable You're nonsensical
Did Uncle play a part in the young guy's life? Seems like no.
They lived in the same house and KNEW that the kid had issues! He says they rarely saw each other. Really? Living in that tiny shack he didn't even know what the kid was doing. He previously threatened to kill everyone in the household and the family ignored all the red flags in the last 2 years. The whole family needs to be in jail.
Feel bad for all the families. This dude is in shock as anyone would be. You have nothing to apologize for, his actions are not your fault my guy.
Next time the "suspect" is Black, I want to see everyone so empathetic to his/her family, as well 🙂✌🏽

They may be family but you cannot control or know with certainty what other family members are thinking. I feel very sorry for this man and the rest of the family. Prayers for the injured as well as this family.
Especially if you're only interaction w/you nephew is 'hi and bye', Geez!
That's funny no one seems to think like that with Brain Laundry's parents.
Ah yes, prayers 🤣
@ ya, prayers.
We as wyte people gotta get it together, im tired of this wyte on wyte crime!
Everything he said is a red flag to me
"He's a cool, quiet kid, sticks to himself" Big Red flag
He only says hi and bye. That's cold and selfish 🥺
All he needed to do was to talk to the nut's parents. He needed professional help. And if that didn't work, killin'.
The bigger red flag was not seeing the kids music videos.
Or, the person has social phobia or something similar…
My kid is a "cool, quiet kid who sticks to himself." He's shy. I don't think that's always a red flag. My kid also talks to me all of the time about his problems he has. People are just different in a lot of ways. Now had you said something about this kid's social media or videos he was posting, I'd say yes, definitely a red flag. This is what parents miss the most. That is what people are too afraid to speak up about. This is also why I don't let my kid have social media and I regularly go through his gaming accounts. Had anyone spoke up sooner about those items, this may have been prevented
Unfortunately some of the things his uncle described about him were actually signs of a teen who needed help. The kid was known to the local police for problems.
I agree. A 22 year old who doesn't interact with his family and isolates at all even while living in the same house should be signs of at least depression. But we don't know the dynamics, just speculating. He seems at a loss for words.
@@jonathan_huerta Unemployment is a sign.
This is the 1st comment I've seen that is really listening to his words and not giving blanket social media sympathy
I was thinking the same thing. No signs according to uncle, but he just listed a few.....ugh...

That was gut wrenching. Poor dude has to stand in front of the world and try to apologize for his nephew's dreadful deed.
It's not your fault dude, no one blames you.
46 people wre shot and 9 died over memorial day weekend on the near south west side of Chicago, just 9 miles from highland Park, a wealthy white suburb,, why no media , why no family member interviews, why no breaking news ticker, .. more shot and more dead yet not a single national news report, ..
Black on black crime is ignored by the media because it has no political value for the democrat party .. that's the tragedy
If my son (or nephew) had tattoo's all over his face, no job, and claimed he was a rapper (he averages 3k views, and who knows how many of those were people searching him after the shooting), I would be having a long talk to him about the direction his life is headed in. Sounds like he had zero guidance from any male role models in his life. Many people underestimate the value these days of young men (and women) having positive male role models in their life to help guide them. No it's not the uncle's fault exactly, but I'll bet him and the boy's father could have done more to take a more active role in his life. I only say this about the uncle because they lived at the same residence.
I blame the government for allowing people to carry guns
This excuse never works if it is an Islamist terrorist.
The guy is desperately trying to disassociate himself to avoid any consequences to himself !
The cops had to confiscate his knives and a sword because he threatened his family with murder months before his dad signed off on his foid. The parents and family need to be deeply investigated
Yes, they are guilty and responsible for their son's actions. Unfortunately, there is no help for situations like this. At least they could limit his drug use unless they use them too?
Brave Man for showing his face after what his nephew did. RIP to the Fallen Ones 🕊
They are well known in that community. Once the name and photo of the shooter was released, there really was no hiding.
Uncle knew about his rap videos where there are mass shootings and he now says he had no clue. He's saving face.
This seems like a nice man. It sounds like his interaction with his nephew was minimal. Anyone would be shocked to learn a relative might be a mass murderer.
Minimal is a giant leap. The 22 year old didn't have a job. WTF would have been off my lips last year. There would have been interaction you can bet on that.
@@lawrenceleverton7426 thank u for the truth. Clearly u heard the type of questions the reporter asked. And u heard the responses the uncle gave. Clearly the males in their household held this young male to no account. I'm glad u said it.

@@gogogadget9126 you must be really twisted to think that just because they live in the same house he should know his nephew was going to kill people. people are good at keeping shit to themselves when it's normal to them, which tells me that if his nephew did this he's probably done it before or he's a sociopath.

Ol0
I feel bad for the guy. It's no one else's fault but the shooter.... especially not the uncle's. It's not the uncle's responsibility over a grown 22yr old man. So many families never really know each other. Example: most bullies parents don't know their own kid and always swear up and down they are great kids who would do no harm...smh...this is not uncle's fault and I see his genuine hurt...just such a sad sad situation.
@@LaFlacs in a way it kinda is his responsibility if he is letting him stay at his place no matter what age
the kid being completely withdrawn and barely having a relationship with an uncle he lives with is kind of a warning sign in itself. not that I blame the guy, it's hard to expect people to recognize signs of mental illness/unwellness when mental health is swept under the rug.
I agree. Plus in other articles he is quoted as saying he prefers not to engage with his nephew. That’s a sign to me that something was not right.
Aww I feel so bad for him. You can tell he’s struggling with what his nephew did.
I could tell he was soliciting sympathy for the "family," but I felt not one iota of bad for him.

This comment turned out wrong
This aged poorly. Right after this we found out the punk had threatened his entire family and attempted suicide. This uncle is either lying or just the most stupid man on the planet.
I agree with you Black berry. The uncle is standing up and apologizing. he doesnt need to. its not his fault. The dads though? That POS helped the kids get the guns.
I could not imagine the heartbreak over a family member doing such a thing.
Sorry, but if you don't know anything about your 22 yrs old nephew apart his name i don't think you can be considered a family member .
i want you to understand that the most important takeaway from this interview
...is that even with family members in his own house
his ONLY exchange with them
is
"...hi"
and
"bye..."
Atleast he had the guts and the courtesy to apologize, even though he probably had no hand in anything. That takes stones, my friends! My condolences to those who lost their lives, in this tragic event!
Exactly! I wonder if his Trump mega republican supporting and big gun advocate father Will speak out. Oh wait actually they called him for a comment and he just hung up.
I agree; at least he apologized. We are still waiting on the Buffalo shooters family to make a statement and apologize for their son's actions!
He was trying to get ahead of the story before the community discovers just how much of a negligent piece of shit he is
@@princessdoodlebugs that has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's character. Guns don't pull their own triggers and commit mass murderers. Evil, sick and mentally ill pull them.

Family aren't doing a good enough job at raising kids nowadays. I personally blame a degradation of social norms and standards. It's not a government problem, it's a community problem.
@@tonyste12 ...and some folk don't know how to distinguish satire cos they got a pea in their head aye?
The shooter has a history of emotional problems and an online presence indicating violent intentions. He was also known to law enforcement. This uncle is not being quite honest here.
I'm really curious about this...do you have any links you're willing to share about this?
Agree... Uncle, dad, mom, friends and people of the town should have done something.
Guy is a big fat liar imo
White privilege is deadly
This man is lying thru his teeth. There were offenses since 2019 on his murdering nephew. To say he knew nothing is false. He chose NOT to say anything, which makes him guilty as well. Shame on you!!
He really doesn't seem like he's lying. He probably just didn't have much of a relationship with his nephew to know what he's been up to.
I feel that this man is on the spectrum. He is trying to process this horrible situation the best he can. Let’s all give him Grace . Props to him for stepping up and doing this interview. Says a lot about his character.
This! Thank you for your well-stated, thoughtful comment.
Peace
I was thinking the same.
That's how nasty the news is, they won't let people have peace in a time of horror and mental processing. The media is the devil, and I'm sure you all are filled with devil types in Chicago, it's one of the main satanic hubs within our country.
Good point.
*Why is that your feeling; simply because he's **_stuttering?_* 🙄
*He seems like a very normal guy who is still very much in shock about the devastating news that his nephew-- with whom he lived, to boot-- is responsible for such a tragedy. Your comment reads as a bizarre assumption.* 🤨
*Every comment I've read is gracious, gives him respect, and honors what he has said and done in this video. Ironically (given your intent), your comment is the sole one I see that questions anything about him.*
IDK. My nephew lived with me for a short spell , while he was going to school. He's a pretty good kid , he was quiet And stand offish, but whenever any issues came up , I addressed them with him. I kept an eye on what he was up to. But , having the face all tattooed up is in my mind a sign of something not right.
Good for you 🙄
It's not the Uncle fault at all
Agreed. I watch my nieces and especially my nephew like a hawk. I’m the cool aunt they can talk to about anything and if I see any odd behavior, I make sure to talk to them and help them however I can. And you better believe I will see red flags if my nephew got his face tattooed and didn’t work or go to school.
I can tell he is in shock and upset. How else would someone react? Three guys in a house could very easily be much like he said. Everyone just goes about their business in that sort of arrangement. You say hi and bye and occasionally do some house chores together. Sometimes guys don't communicate much.
This man seems genuine. Condolences to all the people affected by this tragedy
A loved one was involved in a fatal car accident and I found myself in this man's shoes. I can feel his pain. It's shocking to have to stand before the public on television and try to make sense of what happened. He's deeply sorry for what happened
Family that is absent and a life without meaning. Pretty common these days…
The uncle’s words seem very sincere. I hope he and his family can work their way through this.
@V. P. N Fair enough.
He seems like a really genuine guy. It’s sad that they’re known in the community and this was just added to their family legacy forever
I feel so bad that this poor man has to apologize or give an interview during this difficult time. May God bless and give strength to all the families of the victims and the victims recovering in the hospital. We are also praying for you and your family Sir.
Where is his father why he is not the one apologizing
He doesn’t have to do the interview. I would have declined.. most people would decline 🤔
😕👀👀👀
@@rainonme3770 I'm terribly sorry but you really need to do some soul searching if you think there is something wrong with the comment. Until you learn to have compassion and not be so judgmental you will not be a good human being.
i was crossing my fingers that he wasnt going to say "No comment, please get off my lawn" or "Hey, we don't know the whole story, he might be innocent". But he is apologizing and reaching out, good for him...
But the uncle seems curiously detached 1:39, and knows little about Robert.. umm hmm
He’s in shock. He seems as surprised as the rest of us. I feel bad for the family. Sending my deepest condolences to the victims families.
Yea, I mean its not like his nephew has been posting videos online depicting mass shootings and literally say he needs to carry one out for years or anything....who knew?!
@@michaelbell75 he did say he never saw any of his nephew's videos.
I will say tho, there has to be some sort of negligence by the police to not investigate this kid further when they had been informed of these videos.
I know there's no possible way to charge someone for a crime before the act is committed, but there should've been restrictions to not allow someone like that to purchase a firearm legally.
Don’t they are all extremist MAGAts
@@ReadIcculus93 kid was a MAGAt so is his whole family
@@ReadIcculus93 fucking bull 🐂💩 the BLM ghettos rap he practiced and no one heard the shit lyrics ?
I feel bad for this uncle! I really do! Unfortunately, even if there were signs, nobody takes it seriously! It’s either the family that ignores ‘signs’ or law enforcement that ignores it. Such a tragedy
SHAY: Is Crimo from O - Block??
I agree. Unfortunately these days in particular many are still deciding to for whatever reason (being personally overwhelmed by life circumstances etc.) to not seek some kind of mental health counseling or just talking to someone. Doesn’t help that it’s easier to purchase a gun (or two in his nephews case) than to get psychological assistance when you are under duress.
This is a Deep State terrorist attack. 🤫 Anyone can be framed using social media. This man seems credible. Do you notice how some shootings they don't interview family members?
Really, that's where your sympathies are?
Many young men (read up on it) who are mass killers of this age - do NOT speak about their feelings. It's epidemic. I'm in no way defending the kid. But I find it highly unlikely that they "ignored signs." He was 22 - not 12.
God bless this kind man! He seems very kind and caring. He shouldn’t have to apologize, my heart hurts for him. Thank you sir
This poor man has to explain himself. My heart breaks for him and all the victims.
My prayers go out to this genuine kind hearted man! And of course the families. 🙏🏽
hes lying hes guilty as sin
My condolences to all his victims. That includes his family. Always the last to know.

@@t4t359 He also had rap videos with mass shootings in it. And the uncle knew about his rap music! I think this uncle is lying about not knowing about the clues, and he's going on these interviews to save face.
This man needs a hug . I feel really bad for him you can tell he’s hurting
How could anyone look at that young guy and not see he had a problem. 😮
This poor man. Leave him alone. Their family will have to carry the burden that his nephew brought upon them for the rest of their lives. Give them some time to process. His nephew's deplorable actions affect his family as well as the families of the victims. My heart is with this whole community. Something has got to change.
Brilliant words. Totally. Respect to you.
Who cares about that family, there are 6 dead and countless injured their lives are ruin forever these are the folks we gave to worry about, because that dam savage decide to murder them
LOOKS LIKE HE'S STILL TRYING TO PROCESS EVERYTHING. PEACE AND PRAYERS TO ALL THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS HORRIBLE ACT. 🙏❤️🙏
Amen 🙏
I bet he's really "sorry" that he ignored all of those obvious warning signs.
So brave and generous of his uncle to want to share so much personal information. Bless this man. 🐾
This is the problem the disconnect and lack of communication in families, you lived with your nephew and clearly were not all that close. These kids are isolated and believe what they read on internet
The disconnect of the family explains a lot
I was waiting to see if anyone picked up on that. You were the first- Bravo Kid!
Ya, the distance between them living in the same house is odd.
@@Jay-pf2cn emotional distance
@@thenewtowncryer of course I'm not dumb like most people in this comment section lol
@@thend4427 Its not unusual though. Seen it a million times.. it is unusual that it would cause a mass shooting. So I doubt they are really related.
Nephew threatened to kill his family and himself, police had been called out to their house a few times and uncle is now saying that he had NO IDEA?
Bull!
Poor guy is shattered, at a loss for the right words but trying to be as helpful as possible.
This child looked disturb from his picture.We have to become sensitive what is going on with our love ones. Family members that live in the same house with us who are distant and with drawn from social interaction with families are the first sign. RIP to those who lost their lives. Sending love and peace to the family members who lost love ones.
Thats true to an extent but boys that age are almost all distant and withdrawn at least in the family environment. Im worried for all the kids after all the corruption and unaccountability that became apparent through the pandemic and the use of it to push their great reset shit show. The harm caused by disrupting their educations with a fear based attack on our cicil rights has left so many in bad mental states with nothing to look forward to. All they see is negativity at every angle and political blame wars using the kids gor their politics.
How long ago did the police reports that were found about this kid threatening his family, and saying he wanted to commit suicide? If that isn't a huge Fxxking warning I don't know what the hell is. Instead they help him purchase weapons that kill in mass, go figure!
Being sensitive was the problem
Kittens Henderson. Another case of using a kid as a scapegoat. There's a Witness here that said there were shooters on the ground and the reporter badgered her for saying it:
czcams.com/video/x62AtAbo0fE/video.html
@@happyface9000 By age 12 you have reached the age of accountability. As stated this little demon is going to riot in jail. He is a danger to himself, his family and the general populace. They reported he threatened to kill himself and all of his family. They knew he was a demon because he came from them. They were concerned about their safety but not everyone else's. Long as he weren't threatening to kill them they just tip-toe around him. Allowing him to be distant and anti-social. Sound like they were scared of this boy.
I know his heavy heart, my dad was a serial killer, it weights on my heart like nothing else.
Wow, but it still is something you couldn't control.
omg im so sorry ! I couldnt imagine going through something like this. You must be a very strong person! Try to keep your head up
🙏🏿
Oh wow 🖖l
Who was ur dad?
This guy really cannot be blamed for his nephews actions. The fact he’s apologizing and not dismissing what his nephews done unlike the mother of the Texas school shooter. My heart goes out to those lost, injured, their families & the family being judged because this young punks actions
His uncle definitely can't, but his parents surely can. Longnose Soundcloud threatened to kill both his parents while doped up on heroin, but his dad still signed his FOID card for him and gave his guns back.
I blame his Uncle 100 percent!
@@beebers99 that’s your choice
@@fartexplosion4480 I agree I’m not aware of where his parents are but they should be ashamed
I don't think it's fair to label the family as evil or responsible many times in these situations. Sometimes, the kid is just a straight up asshole and no matter how hard you try, the kid is on a path to self destruction. You can try your hardest to prevent everything, but you can't always. Society wants to be mad at this kid and his family and point fingers. We're angry and have a right to be. But sometimes kid's like this fall through the cracks no matter what you do.
Damn, you can see the heartbreak in that man's face.
A very human heart felt reaction, response. Any time, anything such as this occurs it is tragic for the people involved if they have a heart to feel something. May any of those impacted, find inner strength and peace through GOD's love.
Leave this poor man alone. They know they shouldn't have invaded his home for a story. He's obviously distraught, and can barely speak. 100% not his fault.
@Candice Elizabeth ? Lol, failed? How did they fail. He was just living with them. The kid has a mother, and father. Sounds like you're trying to use the old fashioned bad parenting excuse, but pinning it on the uncle and brother because he currently lives with them.
That was very special for you to do that. I see that you yourself are a good person.
I would be trying to distance myself from my nephew too if I was in his situation
Yea thats for sure.. didnt sound to good when he mentioned they live together but dont know each other like that..
He's probably trying to protect his brother.
@@needdemdogz3 The uncle said the kid had his own studio apartment in the back. I've had roommates, and shared a house, but we had separate lives. Nothing to see here.
he lived with him, was a family member, and his career was rap - but he never watched one of his videos?
i find that suspicious. either he hated the kid, or is covering his ass.
@@alicewright4322 I agree I have had to sit and watch this stuff myself. Even as just a sign of saying I care. Someone who posts videos would want more views. And would seek some form of acknowledgement from their family and friends. SUSPICIOUS.
This man has a big heart. His truly felt sorry for the action his nephew caused. 😢😢😢
You can look at Bobby and tell he had problems. so TO not know he was not troubled, is unbelievable.
VERY! No teeth, face tats??????!!!!!! WtF!
@@tw4943 I had a boss with a full neck tattoo finishing his second PhD. You’re a m0r0n.
That's an outside the box perspective. If you had seen weird every day for years, it wouldn't seem weird.
Pure speculation
No teeth? Judge him for real reasons. Do you know how expensive dental care is? I have teeth broken apart and can’t afford to fix them. Mercia.
This man is truly in pain and he is not responsible for the bad deeds of his nephew. His nephew is a monster and he alone should pay.
OMG, poor guy, he's gotta be in shock. Sick world we live in today 😪
This poor man needs to be left to process his grief and be among his family, who are all undoubtedly hurting just as much. I realize people are curious and journalists can be opportunistic, but interviewing people on live television while they're in shock is exploitation, and deeply unethical. My heart goes out to this family as well as the families of the victims, they were all hurt by this young man's despicable actions.
Journalists are heartless.
"It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry..."
@Blood on the tracks Dylan - I have alerted the Federal Bureau of Investigation of your statement and provided them with a link directing them here.
He needs to be prosecuted too he just acts this way so he stays safe bet this guy introduced that kids to gun violence thru games and paint ball fights
This is so sad.....I feel for his uncle..The shock the family must be going through..Nobody really wants to believe someone they know yet a family member is capable of such an evil act..You can know someone your whole life but not really know them..SMH
I agree
Crisis actor.
That's you in your profile picture
Poor dude he doesn’t need to apologise for someone else’s mistakes
Right when the name was shared I googled the name.. This guy’s grandfather was born in Highland Park in 1929, to parents that lived their whole lives there.. That family has been entrenched in that community well over 100 years.. Abd everything shattered in a single moment..
I feel just terrible for this gentleman and his family..
This is sad…. I truly hope and pray that the community doesn’t try to abandon him and his family….
Someone mentioned the house was in foreclosure. This looks like a response to gentrification. Has an outside element TAKEN OVER the town? Are the townies being disposed of in the town their ancestors built? Who were the parade-goers? Were they mostly new arrivals, taking over the town's tradition? Somebody knows why, someone always knows.
Uncle said he didn't see any problems with him. Unemployed, a tattooed face, a wannabe rapper on CZcams, yeah sounds like a well-adjusted young man
Agreed. If you don’t see problems with a dude like this, it’s because you don’t wanna see them.
Not everyone like that is a mass shooter.
Wait, so those all add up to mass shooter? I think he was probably referring to problems that would relate to a mass shooting. Not just he didn't do his laundry all that much..
His uncle seems like a good guy. This is so sad! RIP to the lives lost.
I think it’s foolish to say there is no warning signs. Apparently there was plenty of them
