88. This was a FB post by some 2nd cousin or something, not her Mom. Mom/Dad are silent so far.

Might want to correct that in the OP.

Also, it’s kind of a strange post. She says we need a “national discussion” regarding the toxic masculinity we’re instilling in our boys and young men, but the accused wasn’t even one of those boys or young men raised in this culture. Sounds like his entire childhood was outside the USA, and he still killed.

Toxic masculinity goes far wider than the USA.
