What drugs was he on.
You know these white families. Itās cultural. Theyāre raised to be more violent. I wonder where the father was? Probably out bowling with his buddies every night getting high on opiods. Sad.
Iām assuming anti-psychotics.
However, he successfully joined the US Army only to have (apparently) been discharged during or shortly following basic.
Maybe a DX following his discharge?
NRA: He should be given guns instead.
Bloom told officers Fields was on medication to control his temper.
Any word on how thatās working out?
Heās white, so the media will grab ahold of the medication angle to portray him as āmentally illā and ālone wolfā rather than a terrorist who had been radicalized.
I believe he showed up to basic, but got bounced immediately as unfit for service. Canāt find the sourcing article offhand.
The police reports shed new light on the character of Fields. Even a mother ought not to defend an abuser.
This is of course very sad. It is not clear from this whether this guy is evil, or whether he would not have done this without being mentally ill.
Unfortunately, the actions of the right encourage people like Fields to do what he did.
Wait heās 20yo now, and his mother was calling 911 on him in 2010?
Are we sure this wasnāt his father she was calling 911 about? Or was he that vicious at 13?
Apparently not the right ones. Iām going to speculate that he doesnāt have a biological illness. Maybe a personality disorder and therapy would have been productive if he had been willing to go. I am reluctant to see his actions minimized by mental illness. Heās an angry and hateful little man who found a horrific way to express his rage at the world.
Are we really shocked to learn the abussive murderer grew out of the 4chan and the gamergate culture of Bannon/Miloās ālost boysā?
His dad died in a drunk driving accident when he was a baby.
Budweiser and Weed most likely, with a dabble in Meth once in a while.
Typical White-Trash stuff.

I donāt know what military standards are like today, but when I served in the USAF (1969-1973), you had to be a real loser to get kicked out. The Vietnam War was in full force and if you were āwarm and walkingā, regardless of the branch of the armed forces, you were in. Only the real dregs, nut cases, or criminals would get a Bad Conduct or Dishonorable discharge in those days.
Brother Gene, heās big and mean
And he donāt have much to say
He had a little woman who he whupped each day
But now sheās gone away
He got drunk last night
Kicked mama down the stairs
But Iām all right so I donāt care

So this piece of shit beat his mother at the age of 13, enough for her to call 911, and then threatened her with a knife at the age of 14.
I will hug my 17-year-old son very tightly when he comes home from football practice todayā¦
The article I read said his father was killed by a drunk driver before he was born. This guy apparently had mental problems all of his life. He was considered odd by his school mates and teachers. One teacher said he developed an unhealthy interest in the Naziās when the class was studying WWII. Teacher said that a lot of boys were fascinated by the Nazi regime but did not continue that fascination after moving on from that part of western history. This person never moved on.
