Swing and a miss.
So the new buzz words for you guys is "nazi" and "terrorist", I think you need to grow up and stop trying to start trouble.
Was her reaction not strange? I wasn't making a political statement when pointing that part out. This is ATS, home of the "pick apart weird behavior after a tragedy". But you think he brought up black people because I said the mother was acting bizarrely? I wasn't "smearing" her. This interview is feakin' weird. Have you actually watched it?

If you are being absolutely genuine, why did you make this thread in the mud pit?

Well I think the poster is pointing out that the African Americans have a higher crime rate per percentage of population. Not judging but I believe that was the sentiment just to captain obvious it for you.
Thank you but I already knew that. It's just nice to see people say what they mean. I mean if you're going to Nazi, Nazi boldly.
So claiming that African Americans have higher crime rates (which is factual), is now Nazi? Now I guess if the truth isn't convenient to liberal views, then that means it is Nazi. Geez, we are screwed.
No, bringing up crime statistics that are deeply rooted in socio-economic causation, attributing them to a specific ethnicity, and then using that as a response towards a white nationalist trying to kill a crowd of people?
Yeah... I don't mind saying that's a bit Nazi-ish.
Wrong. The poster was responding to your statement of : "Parents out there, please be more involved in your children's lives"
With : "What's funny about the thread is look at the crime in this country. Who commits the majority of it. Then tell me again which parents should be paying more attention in this country. "
His response didn't have anything to do with Nazis, or vehicular homicide. It was concerning parents being more involved in their children's lives.
Ok... but why do you think he brought that up at all? Any idea?
I can't speak for his intentions, but my guess would be because it seemed as though you were trying to smear this shocked mother (insinuating that she was high, or that her behavior was bizarre?). Do you do the same to the mother of an African American when he murders other African Americans? Individuals should be judged on their own actions, their parents shouldn't be smeared for no reason.
I wasn't "smearing" her. This interview is feakin' weird. Have you actually watched it?
Of course I watched it. No, I didn't find anything bizarre about it at all. It seemed like a mother who was in disbelief that her son would do something so horrible. Seemed perfectly in line with reality in my view. I understand your point about ATS being a conspiracy site, so maybe I shouldn't have been so against you questioning what is reality, I just didn't find anything at all out of the ordinary with her response.

To me, it almost looked like she suspected he was nuts or would eventually do something stupid/crazy. The body language seemed more like "D_mn, that fool actually did it" than anything.

This is probably the most bizarre reaction a mother could have. Either she's super high or she's in shock. But she didn't seemed fazed in the slightest.
Parents out there, please be more involved in your children's lives, especially if they are going to Nazi gatherings. Her son showed up wearing white nationalist garb and then committed a terror attack on a crowd of innocent people. The least she could do is know that "Abright" isn't a thing.
