He was a youtube rapper, said he was a good artist, so how would he know unless he saw the 17 videos. Each were disturbing and featured him killing people as a cartoon, him riding his bike slowly downtown Highland park while emergency buzzer signal played in back ground, and praised trump at his motorcade, danced around the house in all black with Finnish nazi symbol on his shirt in white, while rapping and talking about everything is a lie.

Nice attitude, nothing to see here, yeah real good kid.

I have a very good friend who said that her brother's stepson had all the signs. She said it wouldn't surprise her if one day he turned up on the news. He's older now, so maybe he outgrew it. Her side of the family does not resort to violence. Quite the opposite. And his mother, is a real sweetheart, so no idea where the anti-social behavior comes from.

Like I said, it's been at least ten years, so maybe he outgrew that stage.

The 3 (2 brothers and son) all lived at the same address, in the same house, but all had their own seperate spaces and lives without much interaction.

"Everybody loves us..." Kept repeating how he wants everyone to know how sorry he is. But if he did see or know if any warning signs (like when the school offered help but the parents pulled him out instead), he doesn't want to talk about that.
