"I'm sure he had his reasons" - Shooter's mom wants us to "not judge" him

[Maru Kitteh]

Just saw an interview with the shooter’s mother on CNN. Her comment to the parents of the dead? She hoped the dead kids can forgive her- and “I’m sure he had his reasons, so please don’t judge him.”


There’s no way I just heard that.






I’m out.


Found an article for context:

1. She wouldn't know what any of those "reasons" might be, however.

Ugh. Appalling.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. There are no "reasons" to murder little kids watching cartoons.

This “he must have his reasons” is possibly an artifact of patriarchy, imo. When I lived in Texas, the pampering, the molly-coddling of men and adolescent males was TOTAL.

[Haggard Celine]

2. Oh, well that's comforting!

Stupid fucking $@%&!

[Maru Kitteh]

8. He may have killed this woman's mother and like 20 other humans but please

Don’t judge.

[njhoneybadger]

4. His mother for starters

Check the water that place is fucked up.

[vanlassie]

5. Exactly. His Mother. For starters.

11. Be interesting to hear what the Grandmother has to say when she can speak. She has been writing in a

notebook. I also read that she was about to evict the mother because she has a drug problem.

I know the source is sucky, but I don't see anyone else reporting on the grandmother's condition yet.

14. I think she may actually referring to her self

With the don’t judge him/forgive me comments

She must not be in her right mind at present but perhaps she is feeling guilty because she knows what the reasons are

6. Updated with article.

7. Shooter raised by narcissistic mother who makes horrific excuses for him with deadly consequences.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. Her hair, makeup and jewelry all look nice, don't they.

Doesn’t look like she’s been spending too much time crying lately.

33. Every grieves differently.

Can we please not go down this road? We know it’s wrong.

[Maru Kitteh]

34. Everyone's son doesn't blow apart small kids to special murder music

he picked out for the occasion.









I’m sure he had his reasons.

[NutmegYankee]

35. And she's trying to process that like everyone else.

I don’t know if it sounded as bad in Spanish (this was a translation) but I’m sure a lot of people would say stupid things in the same situation with a microphone shoved in their face. She’s trying process how her son could commit such a horrible act. If investigators find she had a direct cause, I’ll change my mind, but until then I’ll cut her some slack.

10. Well, let's just eradicate the legal system with I had my reasons defense. Don't judge, Judge!

[dalton99a]

12. Every mass murderer has their reasons

Therefore we must leave them alone

[malaise]

13. She might know at least one

He moved in with his grandma because of her drug addiction

That is all

[maxsolomon]

27. I read elsewhere it was because of a fight over Internet service.

She wanted to cut it off, presumably to punish the kid.

Stepdad said the kid was always antisocial.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Like, one of those 4th. Graders shot a spit ball at him?

[Chainfire]

16. Don't worry Mom, I don't want to judge him

I would like to damn him to hell.

[Demsrule86]

17. If she knew this kid had an AR15 ...sue her.

[inthewind21]

22. Sue her for what

[NutmegYankee]

29. He was 18. She can't control that decision. nt

[sarisataka]

18. I don't judge him

Nor will I forgive or excuse him. My belief is that he has faced his final Judgment and I trust in that.

[ellie]

19. Fuck her

Fuck him
Fuck the Uvalde police
Fuck the repukes

I am done with these assholes.

[pressbox69]

20. The Shooter Is Dead

Nobody on Earth can judge him now. Only Lucifer can judge him and condemn him to everlasting justice.

[maxsolomon]

28. Wait

I thought Jehovah did the eternal judging and Lucifer did the punishing.

[Roland99]

21. Jesus H MFkn Christ!!! He had his reasons??? So that makes it ok????

Good gawd!!!!

[BlackSkimmer]

23. Whoa.

Not going to say what first sprang to my mind.

[UTUSN]

24. Also the grandfather "didn't know" the ahole had weapons & wasn't inside when his wife was shot

[area51]

25. Wow.

I'm going to guess the apple (her murdering son) didn't fall far from the tree.

[Best_man23]

26. As my therapist would say

This lady has blinders on the sides, top, bottom, front, and in multiple dimensions.

[Aristus]

30. Oh, he had REASONS! Oh, well, that makes it all right then!

[milestogo]

31. Maybe he was fucked up because his mom was a drug abuser.

[maxsolomon]

32. People are inarticulate and say stupid shit they regret.

They fall back on meaningless clichés when under pressure.

I'm going to reserve judgment of HER, for now, because there's no way she's not in the middle of a crisis of grief and guilt. She birthed a psychopath. They're not made; they're born.
