I would stand by my child too until their guilt was proven.

I interpret “standing by him” as remaining his parents, since that is not a job responsible people quit. Seeing what he needs in prison, helping him through the trial. It has nothing to do with condoning his actions or helping him escape justice.

That’s basically the gist of their statement. I wish people would stop pulling quotes out of context.

If I was a defense attorney, this is exactly what I would advise them to put out to the media.

Yup. They lumped themselves in with the parents of those their son murdered, in cold blood. GTFOH.

How did they “lump themselves in”? That’s a big stretch. They are not wailing about “losing a son” or anything like that.

The last sentence.

I give them a little leeway for the simple reason this is a shocking, horrible, terrible, unexpected situation they find themselves in and maybe this is shock and confusion talking. How would any of us react under these dreadful circumstances?

I agree. Their son is denying it, he was at least right now high functioning in a phD program and they are his parents. They probably truly believe it’s some horrible mistake at this point. Not much has been released so they don’t fully know or understand the evidence. As a parent I can imagine being in deep denial in a situation like this

I truly doubt that parents and close relatives/friends of mass killers have never seen a single red flag.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Perhaps see something, say something.
Apparently, one of the bars he went to, observed that he said things that were highly inappropriate and creepy. So every time they scanned his ID, they saw notes made: to keep an eye on him.
When a kid says some adult (teacher, coach, neighbor, relative, whoever) is weird or creepy, you need to listen up.

But what action can you take about a “creepy” person? He was a 28 year old adult.

He may have met some of the girls at the restaurant they worked at. (From Reddit) he was vegan and the restaurant was known for vegan food. He then may have stalked them.

Sounds like he sure did.

I can think of a couple people I know that are bizarre and a creepy. Most people can. But unless someone is actually doing something illegal, or extremely suspicious, what are you supposed to do?

Have you heard “see something, say something”?
You are NOT the investigator. You report!

So gross. Reminds me of the Laundries, who wanted to send their son a shovel. They think they are above the law.

Lots of parents are like that. They’ll do anything for their kid to avoid consequences. It’s really sick.

No investigator is going to rush over to investigate a dude who hasn’t done anything more than be creepy and hit on girls. There’s no crime to investigate. In a college town, that’s a pretty typical Saturday night. Even if he followed someone home, that’s not illegal unless he trespasses or threatens them.

Unless maybe you’re referring to the investigator of the murders, and reporting it when they requested help from the public? In that case, I’d agree you might want to report it, especially when there are so few other leads. But there’s still a huge hap between “awkward creepy dude in bar” to “quadruple murderer.” I’d need to be pretty sure of myself and my instincts before I threw someone into that fire.

See something, say something does NOT mean wait until you believe you saw a crime.
