They have. Or perhaps a better argument is that it's not that rare for a parent to take their own life after the loss of one of their offspring .

Wrong!
He said he never said it. Guest on his show he was interviewing, said things to the such, but not Jones himself.


I'm sure you have a Youtube of him saying it. Google it.

Too bad, but seems like local news. Did he use an AR?

Just the death of a loved one is a major stressor in one's life. It fractures every relationship you have in your life, specifically with those closest to you. I hope he has finally found some piece.
Being "told", by a tiny, fringe group of conspiracy nuts? Those fringe groups have always existed, and Alex Jones is a joke. The vast vast vast majority of people feel great sorrow and empathy for these families, and they received much love and support. This man had deep issues he was unable to resolve. Nothing to do with the babbledeebabble of conspiracy nutters.

Yup -- lots of lip service about that mental illness.

Not much being done about it...just a whole lot of lips flapping.

Sad.

It's like the thoughts and prayers.........

Agreed. But I can imagine the parents of dead children killed in this manner will latch on to the .000001% of the population that espouses these asinine theories.

Yes may this poor man Rest In Peace. I’ve always believed this incident happened and it was a tragic loss of life brought on by another disturbed individual. This father couldn’t take the pain anymore of living daily knowing his little child was dead . He’s probably been struggling for years and now his remaining family will have to live with this decision.

It has happened before. One parent of a Columbine victim walked into a gun store and asked to see a certain kind of gun. The man behind the counter handed it to her and then turned away to help another customer. The parent then loaded the gun with bullets she had brought and killed herself. A few students also killed themselves later.

Wow and in the same week as two other school shooting survivors and the Mueller Report coming up with nothing.

What strange coincidences if I'm being honest.

Mental Illness is real and roaming the streets of America.
Makes the case for bringing Insane Asylums back on-line.
Take our freedom, because insane people roam freely.
