Most mass shooters:

- come from families with financial instability
- are victims and/or perpetrators of domestic violence
- have a fixation on violence or guns
- have some kind of extreme ideology or are "columbiners"

The fact that he was rebelling against his parents racist belief system doesn't mean he is woke. Given the facts, it more likely means he was motivated in part by the prospect of angering them by dating a black girl. There is clearly something very wrong with this kid's belief system independent of how warped his parents may have been. You cannot divide the world into "deplorables" and "woke". There are too many variations of good and of batshit to be that simplistic.

I bet he didn't mean to kill the child. I wonder if he meant to kill both his parents. Obviously its all wrong, but wow. Just a horrific situation.

Maybe he felt killing his sibling was an act of mercy.

Why are you finding a justification for murdering a child?

I think it's pretty clear that he meant to kill his brother and his parents. If you accidentally shoot someone you call 911 which he clearly did not do. He meant to kill his mom and his brother. Then he waited for his dad to get home and thoroughly intended to kill his dad, too.

I don't know why he didn't just run away if his home life was that awful. I can understand why he would be angry with his parents for their racist views but to kill them and his little brother over it and then flee? Why?

I think there’s zero evidence of that.

It doesnt explain Levi's actions but it makes me have less sympathy for both of the parents.

WOW.

Josh and Jen were “really prejudiced, as much as I hate to say this,” said the relative, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear she would upset the family.

“When Leviathan was just 3 years old, [Josh] used to say the n-word all the time,” the relative recalled.

His Facebook cover page quotes David Lane’s “14 words,” which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as “the best-known slogan of the U.S. white supremacist movement.” Lane, founder of a group called the Order, died in prison after a conviction in the killing of a Jewish radio host in 1984.

“I don’t even remember why I put it [up],” Norwood said of the post, which remained online as of Wednesday. “Maybe I was having a bad day.”

According to his friends, Levi’s relationship with his girlfriend made him happier than he had been in a long time. But they also wondered how the interracial relationship would play with his parents.

Both were against his dating a black girl, the relative said, but his father was “adamant” about the issue. “He didn’t want Leviathan having anything to do with her.”

Obviously the parents being racists doesn’t mean the murderer kid isn’t a total monster but I found it so gross that the dad would lie about it like that. I mean when your close family is speaking on background to the paper after a kid has been murdered to confirm how racist you are, you can’t turn around and say you just randomly put up white supremacist memes on your Facebook page. I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

Today's article in the Washington Post adds a new dimension to this horrible story.

Teen births are down. Abortion.

No, pregnancy, abortion and births are all the lowest they’ve ever been. Education and birth control work to lower the pregnancy rates, which lowers abortion and birth rates.

You know they couldn't kill you with a knife. Just because they are young and male doesn't make them stronger than an older woman or young child. The mother would probably be able to disarm him with her martial arts skills.

Look, I realize you’re just a pathetic troll, but if a child has serious mental health issues, the advice is to remove drugs, alcohol, sharps—eg knives, and guns.

So you buy your vegetables and bagels pre-cut.

Funny. One could easily sharpen a butter knife. Or stab you to death with a "harmless" screwdriver. Mentally disturbed does not mean idiot.

Yup, anything sharp, you remove from the house, so that means screw drivers. You can’t “easily” sharpen a butter knife, but you put those away too if need be until your child is stable.

Are my neighbors allowed to have a screwdriver?
