Paladin is not going to watch anymore. No more faux concern or easy virtue-signaling for the shameful and horrific murder of innocent strangers. The ugly art of these horrific acts takes a personal catastrophe and boils it into a mass expression of theatrical evil.

El Paso. Dayton. Las Vegas. Orlando. Sandy Hook. Horror metastasizes in a mass communication age because we get to watch it on the iPhone. This brain-eating bacteria feeds off your attention. Deny it attention and you deny it life. Paladin rejects the participation award, and here’s why:
These vicious, leprous actions don’t come out of nowhere. They are someone’s creation. Cared for and nurtured until they hatch.

So, who warmed the petri dish for these parasites? Who raised them, who clothed them, who fed them? Who brought these venomous nerds into the world?

Down in El Paso, the White Supremacist’s Dad was a 40-year alcoholic and professional drug abuser who favored Vicodin, Quaaludes, hallucinogens and magic mushrooms. Now an “Energy Therapist”, he claims to be cured after Jesus spoke directly to him and having a spiritual encounter with his dead grandmother, Mabel.

Mabel would be his own mother’s mother.

Buddy. . . that wasn’t Jesus you were talking to.

Grandma and Grandpa have also released a statement. The ageing parents of the Energy Therapist Dad are deeply devastated. Spare us, Granny. You should have strangled your son, Bryan Crusius in his crib before he sired a child. Grandma and Grandpa—you were unfit to raise anyone. And your son—Bryan Cruscius—the father of the evil spawn—even more so.

This was a Three Generation Creation, starting with Mabel—bad parenting raised to a murderous art form.

Now consider this Buckeye.

Call him, the Dayton Devil. His Dad was a man who virtue-signaled his Progressive bonafides over and over. Orange Man Bad. Alt Right Bad. Racists Bad. Especially guns. Guns Bad.

Read Daddy Betts’ posts. Right after Sandy Hook he wants to have a “rational discussion,” about gun violence. A man searching for answers when the problem germinated under his own roof. But, let him speak for himself:

““There are now two Americas. My country is a horror show.””

No, Dad – your family was a horror show, you raised an excremental. Your son needed adult supervision. Maybe you needed adult supervision.

Shall we pretend no one knew? Others knew. “Before the Media portrays this full grown man as an innocent kid who was damaged in high school due to bullying, I want to set the record straight right now. Connor Betts had a history of serious harassment (sic( towards fellow female students. Some of which were my friends or siblings of friends. He had a notebook with detailed information on how he wanted to hurt fellow female students.”

Such depraved states of mind used to be called madness.

Mom, Dad . . . didn’t you wonder when junior became the lead singer in a Pornogrind band called, the Menstrual Munchies? Singing songs like, “6 Ways of Female Butchery” and “Preeteen Daughter Pu$$y Slaughter” – no warning signs there? Think he was just being a 24 year old adolescent getting his yah-yahs out?

Or were you too busy fighting the good progressive fight to notice the flesh eating blob devouring your family?

Since Dad’s progressive posts dropped off after 2011, Paladin guesses the adults in the Betts’ family probably knew their twisted offspring was evolving into Alien. But didn’t know what to do about it. And like many—ashamed—tried to keep their deformed creature locked in the proverbial attic.

Bad call, folks. Paladin thinks there must have been a war going on inside this family to produce such a demon. And that the youngster wanted the last word in the argument. Well . . . he sure got it.

How many generations did it take to produce this human nitroglycerine? Can’t say. So far, the Betts family hasn’t released a statement. But clearly it took some effort.

Bottom line: neither the El Paso Nerd nor The Dayton Devil were created overnight.
