I understand the sentiment. But have you read into his upbringing?

I shed no tears for adult Jensen and his actions. I do fear for others like him who can be exploited by powerful men with malevolent motives.

His upbringing justifies his descent into inane conspiracies?

Nah fam, I've seen worse shit thrown at people's lives and they come out good on the other side. At best he tried to conform to his peers.

Um…. I’m trying to expand the conversation. I’ve known people that went through what he went to. They did not come out good on the other side.

In all fairness none stormed the capitol either. My point was that I’d love more societal preventative measures. Protects kids from abuse and prevent donkey brain adults from violently proliferating.

I can understand why someone would see it differently but wanted to add my 2 cents.

Right. I guess I left my usual “but fuck these people” signature on this comment thread.

That feels good to say but hardly helps prevent the next q inspired family massacre. We have a problem beyond 1/6 and those specific mullies.

My comment was meant to convey my desire to look past one guy’s actions. Give him everyday of prison he’s earned. But also figure out what the fuck is going on with these brainwashed kamikaze in waiting.
