[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read through this thread so forgive me if I am being redundant, but I was interested in the killer's mom's comment that "He is not a Nazi...it's the bullying and years of depression that is making him think/act like a Nazi." I am paraphrasing.

I mean, but this definition, isn't every Nazi not a Nazi? Virtually every terrible person who does terrible things has a mom or spouse or child or family who sees human elements of worth in them. I'm sure they're right about some of those observations. But still, people who do terrible things are the source of terrible things. and saying "He is not terrible" is kind of terrible too. I would be more sympathetic if she said "I am so upset and confused about how my son, from a loving and tolerant family, could do such hateful and intolerant things. We are despondent. We are let down. We are regretful of how we may have done things to stop it and we didn't."

I get that denial is powerful, but the fact that they had an UNLOCKED GUN and is just too much.
