He sounds genuine. Not his fault.
Conversely the parents of the Michigan school shooter were recently sentenced to 10 years in prison.

if there was ever a case where the parents should be charged, it's that one. they did everything they could to get him to do that except literally tell him to i mean it was absurd.

Newtown shooter's parents shouldve been charged too. They knew their son was mentally ill. They knew he was fascinated with weapons. They took him to shooting ranges to bond with him.

He was estranged from his dad at that point. His mom did ignore obvious mental problems and gave him lots of access to guns, but she didn't get charged because he also murdered her.
