Jason Kessler, the man who organized the recent failed Unite the Right white nationalist rally in Washington DC, suffered an additional humiliation this week when his own father interrupted a livestream broadcast with white nationalist Patrick Little.
Kessler and Little this week were in the middle of a live joint broadcast in which they attacked Jewish people when Kesslers father walked in and yelled at his son to get out of my room!
Sorry, Im having an issue here, an embarrassed Kessler explained to Little. You got a drunk roommate there? asked Little. Something like that, muttered Kessler. Im going to assume thats a parent there, Little remarked. Its my father, Kessler admitted. The two tried to continue talking about their mutual distaste for Jews, but Kesslers father once again interrupted him and ordered him to leave his room.
Kessler was forced to move back in with his parents because hes been hit with multiple lawsuits related to the violence that broke out during the original 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

(7,809 posts)The harder I laugh. Big tuff nazi is reduced to borrowing his dad's computer because he can't live on his own due to his own idiocy. And dad ain't having the hate broadcast from his bedroom.

Either that or his Dad will make him get a job waiting tables at Applebees.

(184 posts)They have jobs but the cost of rent, transportation,food, insurance is just too high. So they live with us. They help out with expenses and have enough left over to put some money in the bank.

(2,584 posts)Our son lives on his own, managed to buy a house cheaper then renting and rents out a a some studio in the back, works for a realty company. We still support him, pay his car insurance and my wife sends him money every so often to help him out. Just had his car get ruined so she went down and helped him buy another that we picked up the cost for.
Hard living for some young people now a days with out a little help if they want to have a half way decent life even with degrees.

The other guy is living in a camper or boat on a trailer somewhere. So much time spent on evil designs.

He's an enabler. I don't give a shit whether he loves his son, he's aiding his racism.

(25,861 posts)They should have pointed out to him that he's well over 21 and he's on his own. Period.
Way too many parents enable their grown children. And honestly, if a child of mine were a white supremacist there is no way on god's green earth I'd let him live with me.
I'd also definitely write him out of my will.

(25,861 posts)Take a job. Any job. Fast food. Unloading trucks at a warehouse. Deliver pizza.
There are always jobs out there. They may not be the job a person would want, but they are jobs. They may not pay very well, but they pay.
One summer when my older son was home from college, I made him go out every single day and apply at fast food places. It took only two days for the closest McDonald's to hire him. It wasn't the best job in the world, but it was a job.
The younger son graduated cum laude from college, and then resumed doing pizza delivery, his summer job while in college. He knew better than to ask either of his parents for money because we'd have told him to get a better job or get a second job, but he was on his own.
A 34 year old who is not in some real way disabled should not be living at home, certainly not without working. But so many parents aren't willing to hold their kids accountable for supporting themselves. I've seen this over, and over, including within my own extended family. If those parents had years ago made it clear he was responsible for himself, he'd at least not be living with them. And commandeering his father's computer to spout his hate.

(58,785 posts)surely? Let's laud this man for the actions during the interview.
Watching two and three generations of our own and friends' family grow up has only confirmed my initial impression that having kids is something like reaching into a grab bag. Being a good parent cannot guarantee what they're going to turn out to be.
The son of next-door neighbors and good friends, whom I looked to for over a decade for lessons in how to be good parents (good neighbors and friends also), turned out bad and then tragically died from his bad choices. They're good, hard-working conservatives who raised him to know right from wrong, be responsible, have daily chores and responsibilities as need arose, never yelled at him but punished promptly and appropriately, made sure his homework was done well each day, filled most free time with happy extended-family activities (nice family!), and sent him to UCLA, where those bad choices began. I would defy anyone to discover that they should have done anything differently.
We tried with ours, but looking around at how many people we know had to step in and raise their grandchildren, attended a child's funeral, purchased a house for a child so their grandchildren would have a home, know another child is "out there" somewhere, I'd also say we got a bit lucky in our draw.

If Kessler doesnt understand what that means he could:
Ask a neo-Nazi to translate; or
Sneak back into his dads room and Google it (if the computer isnt password protected by now). I especially recommend clicking on the Images tab.
