Mother of Virginia terrorist Fields said he told her last week he was going to an 'alt right'

[applegrove]

rally in Virginia. She told him to be peaceful. CNN I think that confirmes that he is a white supremacist terrorist.

[Quanta]

1. What is baffling me is this whole "They're not FROM our town"

part. BUT!!!! If the cities are allowing this to happen, and winking and nodding and sort of good ole boy protecting this shit! Oh hell no. I'm going to the next one.

[HipChick]

2. Federal case yet? Thug?

Tired of him being called "Young Man"

[Roland99]

3. The pic being floated is him and his mom. Right before he went to boot camp

Her FB page mentioned she was proud of him

And, interestingly, I have two mutual friends with her! :O

[Not Ruth]

9. Soldier, yep it is all there

Taught to kill, comes home, keeps killing. It is a pattern people.

[Roland99]

10. He didn't last long. Enlisted Aug 2015. Out by Dec

[Revanchist]

21. So do you consider the current and former members of the military

who are members here to be mentally ill? Or is just the conservative ones?

[GulfCoast66]

13. Not so much

They kicked his ass out after 4 months. Not taught to kill that early. He obviously could not learn to make his cot and do push-ups.

[Not Ruth]

14. I disagree

[applegrove]

15. The peace does not work without armies. You do need to have force

to police people and nations. Broad brushstrokes there.

[Not Ruth]

19. Again, I disagree

[GulfCoast66]

22. Ok. I respect that

But what do you think he learned in the Army in 4 months that caused this. The likely truth is that he joined and the found out he was a fuck up with racist tendencies and kicked him out.

Leaving the service after 4 months means you either had health issues or were a total fuck up

[lostnfound]

24. That's disruptive and disrespectful to the military in general, inappropriate.

[Coventina]

4. He said he was going to an "alt right" protest and she told him to be peaceful?

Sounds like a massive failure as a parent.

[Codeine]

5. Sounds like she was already aware of his tendencies.

I've never had to tell my kids to "be peaceful" when they go places.

[lostnfound]

28. young men can be pretty f'ing rebellious

Maybe she screwed up, maybe other influences wrecked him.
Wouldn't want to be in those shoes ever.

[sharedvalues]

6. Was he in her basement at the time?

[SweetieD]

7. She probably knew his views and didn't care or didn't want to confront him. How many people on here

talk about how racist their mom/dad/brother /cousin /neighbor /friend /coworker etc is. They will tell a story about how someone did or said something extremely racist and they were just mum because they didn't want to start a fight. You have to confront these people so it doesn't get to this point.

[Not Ruth]

8. White Christian

Most terrorists in America are. Getting sick of their attacks.

[BigmanPigman]

17. And most violence is done by men!

We never ever hear about this. For thousands of years testosterone, hate (and sometimes religion) have been the combination for over 90% of all violent acts. Why doesn't this fact ever come up? Because it is true and no one (especially men, go figure?) wants to admit it? My dad is the only man I know who will have a conversation about this fact.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. You and me both.

[oasis]

12. News reporters broke the news to mom as she drove up to her home.

No good way to find out that your offspring is a terrorist.

[GusBob]

16. The infantilization of the American male

Yeah

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Correction: American White Male...12 year old Tamir Rice was viewed as a dangerous adult

[dalton99a]

25. Excellent point

[JI7]

27. 12 year old tamir rice held to a higher standard than 70+ old white man who is president

[Warren DeMontague]

18. I just thank heavens you're not going to a rave or smoking marijuanas at a Phish show

have fun, son!

[Roland99]

23. From an interview, she is completely and absolutely CLUELESS!!

Field's mother, Samantha Bloom, told The Associated Press on Saturday night that she knew her son was attending a rally in Virginia but didn't know it was a white supremacist rally.

"I thought it had something to do with Trump. Trump's not a white supremacist," Bloom said.

"He had an African-American friend so ...," she said before her voice trailed off. She added that she'd be surprised if her son's views were that far right. "


1) trump is not a white supremacist
2) he (her son?) had an African-American friend. Ergo, her son wasn't a white supremacist

Fucking CLUELESS
