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.

And that’s all you needed to say. Doug here is an adult and was found competent to answer for his crimes. I wouldn’t want anyone to make excuses for any terrible behavior on my part, just because my upbringing was a horror show. Maladaptive behaviors as a result of domestic abuse are my responsibility, and so would be any crimes.

Please, just stop.

You just stop. This is how we figure out what went wrong. The guy was molested as a kid and therefor vulnerable to the PROGRAMING.

Should he be held accountable? YES!

Should we try to figure out why this happened to so many? um...YES

Not once did anyone say to let him off because of his childhood. We will not repair this by acting like an angry mob. That is how the other guys work, remember.

Again....no one is saying he shouldn't pay.
