The obvious influence of his father was undoubtedly a factor, if not the factor, to where he ended up.

So many of these stories lead back to terrible upbringings.

..what CeeCee is saying though Samuel is that he was 'wearing his cause' and if a Muslim was wearing their cause for instance in such a comparable massacre, then where would a 'background' be looked into or reported by the media in a similar way..they would in fact by the media be immediately be condemned as 'evil' and nothing more or nothing less/dehumanising them...but here we have all of the interest into the 'human interest' of him...what 'made him tick' type thing, what is his background/family dynamics/how did this happen and come to this...and those are really valid points that she's making ...because 'white', whether it be 'white who do bad things' or not can't really ever truly understand that but that's not because it doesn't exist but I think more because people don't want to believe that it exists...and I personally think it's existing in this case because the media whether it's intentional or not are more or less 'dehumanising' the victims to an extent by delving so much to his background and mental health and focusing on that to report while very little about the victims 'stories'...


..and although I do agree that in all cases such as this there should be some 'understanding' and don't agree with people being dismissed as just 'evil'..it's not really his upbringing that is a factor so much as his own coping skills etc in his life because the greater number of people who sadly have these 'stories' don't do tings like this...so yeah, mental illness of course but then there's nature V nurture as well and so many other things that will possibly never be understood...and it's those very complex things with the human mind that I think that no matter how much 'understanding', it's so unlikely that many things would actually be prevented from happening because the human mind really is so complicated and beyond even the reach of all of the psychologists....
