(11,366 posts)I'm sure I'll get flamed, but it's bothered me for a week now.
The younger brother, Jahar, is STILL being defended by his friends, he's been called "a lovely child," by one of his teachers and he seems to have not done anything more illegal than smoke a bit of dope, yet, all of a sudden he can just "flip" and allegedly join his brother on a bombing brigade?
Much like Holmes and Loughner, his alleged "deadly" transformation has come from NO WHERE. WHY is this happening? (I won't put Lanza in this category, as it seemed he had other challenges that we're not at all sure of).
I saw a video of Jahar with his niece over the weekend and he DOES seem like "a lovely child." Their exchange reminds me of my 14-year-old and his 5-year-old sister - he's sweetly picking on her, but ends up just kissing her. Maybe I'm weird, but I'm just having a really difficult time wrapping my head around the compartmentalization that Jahar must have had to do what he's accused of.
(BTW, Jahar is innocent until proven guilty or pleading guilty. I'll refrain from calling him "The Bomber" or judging him without seeing all the facts. I used to be a crime reporter and could have gotten sued for referring to someone as guilty when they have not been adjudicated as such.)
