(11,065 posts)Oh no indeed. Here it's all about anti-gun agenda driving. When did DU ever demonize a parent of a mass murderer even when those parents and pretty much everyone that knew the murderer DID know they were dangerously and violently mentally ill? Never. When did DU start demonizing the mother in this case even though she was the first victim of this horrible crime? The moment it was reported that the guns used in the crime were her guns. Who are the people here that are demonizing the mother? The people here who are anti-gun. Who here has steadfastly NOT so much as hinted at blame of the actual person who committed this atrocious act? Same. Who here has insisted over and over that though not one single person that knew Adam had the slightest inkling that he could possibly be homicidal and had never shown any violence or even aggression by everyone who knew him yet insist that his mother magically HAD to know he was thereby being at fault for his killing her and using her guns to mass murder little children and teachers? Same.
In no way is this about normal coping mechanism here. No one on DU has ever done this before with any of the other mass murders by people who were KNOWN to be violently mentally ill and when none of the family members were victims of crimes. This is hateful ugly pure agenda driving that is so passionate they're willing to demonize the victim of the crime and flat out make up shit about her for no reason whatsoever than the fact that she owned the guns that were used by her son. Yeah, that guy. The one these people conveniently forget was the one who murdered his mother and all those young children and teachers.
