Nah he's a POS. Heard the family is done with him forever. Don't be fooled by this fake news reporting. Pull your head out and find other sources. The FBI baited this kid, it wasn't as if he went to the FBI to report his dad. They even told him he could get protective custody which he didn't. The little socialist is playing for the camera and his low IQ buddies. Six months from now nobody will know his name but he will feel the sting for a life time for betraying his family.

[@kbanghart]

@@Red_Vines yes, definitely a disconnect there and I can personally identify with some of it. I didn't speak to my own dad for about a year and a half after something he told me, probably while he was drunk. Our relationship never did fully heal and he passed away in 2012.

After his father goes through that hell of prison I doubt that he and his wife are going to feel anything other than deep anger at their son.

Think about it: The mother speaks her mind. So does the son. The father didn't stay by the sidelines when he believed American Democracy was in danger. Neither did the son. The patents believe(d) MAGA lies. The son doesn't. I don't know about you, but I can see the apple really didn't fall all that far from the tree.. These people don't lack patriotism or the will to act instead of just stand by the sidelines.. none of them. They were conned like a lot of Americans. The parents just were taken in by the cult MAGA became. The son wasn't. That's the difference. I hope this family finds healing, and that over time they can see beyond the lies and be proud of that son. He deserves their pride.. and they deserve to be proud as parents of a son who is far more like them than unalike.. they raised him well, even if they fell for a cult. Those have never been mutually exclusive.

With those children, he thought, that wretched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it.
