You’re an idiot. The Post extensively quoted the grandmother and friends and had copies of the mother’s email to the school, all corroborating.

1) How was he radicalized?

2) When will his community speak out about young men being radicalized in their midst?

3) When will White Americans start calling the authorities on these young men? Those around him MUST have known he'd fallen under the sway of violent extremism. Why didn't they involve the police? Is it because all White Americans harbor violent white supremacist tendencies?

Madeira is all female and it's where Buckley went for highschool. It has not gone co-ed and the article said both the daughter and boyfriend attended the same private school.

Could it have been a therapeutic boarding school where they met?

Buckley is the name of the mother who was shot. She ran "Buckleys for Seniors" in Great Falls. She is a wonderful human being as was her husband Scott.

Yes, we know all that. I knew her and Scott. Someone on here thought the daughter and boyfriend went to Madeira which is why I posted Madeira is where Buckley went and it is all-female so there is no way the daughter went since it was reported she went to school with her boyfriend-a male-and therefore someone who could not attend an all-female school.

I admit to not knowing anything about the private schools in the area. I know a few of the names, but that is it.

Fine, the mom was an alum of Madeira, which you have now told me is an all-girls school. Can we move on now?

I doubt NBC and the Washington Post are sourcing information about this story from posts on Fairfax Underground.

Not sourcing, but all journalists read local blogs to get background information. It is like reading twitter feeds or facebook postings. Lots of ways now to get the backstory on people.

The parents hated the boy and didn't want their daughter anywhere near him. How did he get inside that house to begin with?

I wondered this too. Did the girl give him a key? Did he climb in the window?

I'm trying to think what steps any other parent could take and learn from this? There is no way for anyone to fathom it going this far and they didn't have time to quickly get a survailence system set up since they just found out. Can you get your kid a phone that only calls home and the police? How does one prevent this is God forbid your kid gets entangled with a complete nut?

It's making national news, but what will come of this? Will people suddenly be more interested in gun control? Will we do more to combat hate groups? I am starting to feel like chicken little every time I read local, national and international news.

I'll be satisfied when we start talking about the radicalization of young Christian men with the same urgency that we look at radicalization of young Muslim men.

I have been following on Fairfax Underground much as a I hate that site because they do seem to get updates faster than I can google. According to that site and not any news story I found- may have been an issue with the wife's daughter from a previous marriage dating someone who was troubled. Assuming, but no idea if that is related. This is all 3rd hand info.

NBC was reporting he was a neo nazi and the family and just prohibited their daughter from seeing him.

Prohibiting a 16 year old from seeing a boy rarely, if ever works. It flings the couple closer together usually.

And btw they do have confirmation, from friends of the murdered parents, that makes a strong case that the parents had legitimate concerns that this boy was indoctrinating their daughter into horrifying beliefs. Read the story, you morons.

We did read the story. The "evidence" the mother pointed to were from posts made under an assumed name, which she assumed were the boyfriend. She was concerned because the daughter and boy spent hours on the phone (the mother thought he was trying to indoctrinate her, but there is zero proof of that). Let's just not make assumptions until the facts are known.

The girl looks super sullen and grouchy in all her pics on mom’s Facebook page. Which I know is how teenagers are, but most of us choose pics of our kids that “show” better.

I am sure this will be countered with Well at least the mom was being honest and not glossing over daughter’s personality. But then you get strangers saying What a sullen and grouchy girl.

And why oh why don’t people keep their family pictures private to start with?!

Based on the info provided, it looks like the parents didn't know who the boy, and used spying to try and figure it out (which is not reliable). It may have helped to have a personal relationship with the boy their daughter is dating, vs. making assumptions and acting on them. And were you never a teenager? Kids sneak in and out their windows all the time to do what they want!

Isn't that what you're doing right now, PP? Not to mention blaming the victims of this tragic crime?

what difference does it make whether or not this boy was a neo nazi or the original author of the posts in question that upset the parents? He snuck out of his house, broke into her house, in the middle of the night, brought a gun, and MURDERED both of her parents. Regardless of whether he was a nazi sympathizer or Richard Spencer wanna be, he brought that gun and he killed two people with it. So that alone makes him a pretty horrible person, one that no parent would want their daughter dating.

Posters like the one above, the one saying "let's not make assumptions" are the kind of people saying the same thing after Heather Hayes was killed in Charlottesville. How do you look at yourself in the mirror and believe the bologna that comes out of your mouth? He killed those people. Killed them.
