[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As provocative as all of this neo nazi stuff is, the guy shot his girlfriend's parents because they had forbidden her to see him anymore.

Good luck with this. It's the truth, but you won't get through to a lot of the folk on this board. The Mom also called his school. To him, these people were in the process of destroying the only parts of his life that brought him happiness. At 17, the neo-nazi stuff was simply a cry for help. He was playing neo-nazi because it was provocative, but not an actual neo-nazi. [/quote]

Unfortunately, it appears to me that the deceased woman's actions in the weeks prior to the shooting were a catalyst for what ultimately occurred.  The fault is entirely the boy's, of course, since he fired the gun but it is entirely probable that a different, less antagonistic approach by the mother with the daughter and her boyfriend would have meant that both of the deceased would be alive now.

As time goes on and this case moves to prosecution we will learn more background.  I will be interested in learning more about the dynamic between the two children.  Most of the posts assume that the boy was the dominant figure in the relationship and that could be because he has exhibited these preferences that are so horrible, which makes him an easy target.  But I wonder what compelled him to be in the house when she could just as easily have left the house?

All around it is a tragic incident and my heart breaks for the little boy who lost his parents in such a senseless act.  That poor child.[/quote]

^^^^ YOU SURE ARE A NOSEY NANCY.![/quote]

I'm not the poster you are responding too, but I am right there with that poster. As a parent of tweens who also knew both parents I care and want to know as much as possible. I hope plenty of people can at least learn from this case something that helps us protect and care for our own children. We cannot get these lives back, but maybe somewhere a life will be saved from knowledge gained once everything is revealed.[/quote]
