I absolutely hate when people give the family problems after one of their family members do something crazy. It wasn't them. Every single person is responsible for their own actions.

That was gut wrenching. Poor dude has to stand in front of the world and try to apologize for his nephew's dreadful deed. It's not your fault dude, no one blames you.
Vor yearSteven +32
If my son (or nephew) had tattoo's all over his face, no job, and claimed he was a rapper (he averages 3k views, and who knows how many of those were people searching him after the shooting), I would be having a long talk to him about the direction his life is headed in. Sounds like he had zero guidance from any male role models in his life. Many people underestimate the value these days of young men (and women) having positive male role models in their life to help guide them. No it's not the uncle's fault exactly, but I'll bet him and the boy's father could have done more to take a more active role in his life. I only say this about the uncle because they lived at the same residence.

i was crossing my fingers that he wasnt going to say "No comment, please get off my lawn" or "Hey, we don't know the whole story, he might be innocent". But he is apologizing and reaching out, good for him... But the uncle seems curiously detached 1:39, and knows little about Robert.. umm hmm

There are things in this world that are sometimes beyond anyone's control. You feel a sense of responsibility, even if you aren't directly involved. It's not this man's fault, yet so many people will blame the entire family. My condolences go out to everyone involved.
Vor yearLeslie Speaker +2
What is beyond anyones control? Prohibiting young people who are "known" to law enforcement to buy assault rifles is beyond anyone's control? Is this country out of control then? It seems so.
Vor yearUhavetobekiddingme
@Leslie Speaker I wasn't talking about the government or the police. I was talking about this man who had no idea what his nephew was planning on doing. Unless this man was a mind reader or the kid said what he was planning, I'd say he didn't have control over the situation. That was what I was referring to, in case you didn't understand the first time you read my post. Also, what makes you think this kid couldn't have bought a gun off of the streets? If he hadn't bought it legally, he would have gotten one another way. We can preach about banning guns, but the truth is, they're always going to be there.
Vor yearDella Salter +68
That was nice of him, I hope everyone accepts his apologies on the behalf of the nephew and doesn't bother him. You can tell he honestly had no idea what was going on. My prayers 🙏🏿and condolences to all the people injured and killed, and who had to witness this horrific at.

Vor yearReadIcculus93 +1
@Michael Bell he did say he never saw any of his nephew's videos. I will say tho, there has to be some sort of negligence by the police to not investigate this kid further when they had been informed of these videos. I know there's no possible way to charge someone for a crime before the act is committed, but there should've been restrictions to not allow someone like that to purchase a firearm legally.
Vor yearRebecca Ballenger +34
This guy really cannot be blamed for his nephews actions. The fact he’s apologizing and not dismissing what his nephews done unlike the mother of the Texas school shooter. My heart goes out to those lost, injured, their families & the family being judged because this young punks actions

Vor yearUhavetobekiddingme
I don't think it's fair to label the family as evil or responsible many times in these situations. Sometimes, the kid is just a straight up asshole and no matter how hard you try, the kid is on a path to self destruction. You can try your hardest to prevent everything, but you can't always. Society wants to be mad at this kid and his family and point fingers. We're angry and have a right to be. But sometimes kid's like this fall through the cracks no matter what you do.

Think about it, how quickly this family was able to get on the local news and being to control the narrative. The shooters father ran for mayor in their city, owned a chain of grocery stores and more so, this kid an his family had everything in life but because little white boi is bored the rest of us have to live in fear. This family had everything to provide this kid with world class mental health, most of these shooters come from well to do suburban families but become bored at their insulated safe lives and then go out and ruin it for the rest of us hard working average folks. These people were having a day off but it was ruined by a suburban kid that doesn’t know about real suffering and hard work.

His nephew did have a history and even his own family called the cops on him about a suicide attempt and another time for murder threats using his collection of knives. Several red flags that caught my attention in this interview: 1) the uncle lives with him, 2) the uncle says “everyone loves us”, 3) “if I did see signs, I would have said something”, 4) The uncle claims he never watched his work or saw his music videos, but says he’s a good artist. I mean come on, someone in your family as colorful and odd as this kid is and you live in proximity, but you don’t know anything about that person? It looks like the uncle is covering and maybe speaking for the dad too.

My heart goes out to all the victims and their families. Including the shooters family. This a time that news personnel really aren't doing justice! His uncle knew nothing but the man wants him to tell him everything of his nephew from birth to now.

No interaction with your nephew, that you shared a house with. I believe this guy is remorseful but this just shows how adults ignore children and young adults and have no idea what’s going on in their lives.

What a brave man for sharing his pain and thoughts so quickly in the community knowing it may help others in a similar position following yesterdays tragedy instead of hiding behind a lawyer straight away. It seems as if he has lost a nephew as well and as far as things seem he has done nothing to deserve that and will more than likely get no empathy for it as well. God bless you all over there I have never felt so low on a 4th July in my life I hope the countries still around next year to have a better one but things have been in free fall for years now and I am not holding my breath.

Awww this man is feeling guilt over something that he isn’t responsible for. his brothers crimes would be unimaginable to live with and Its incredibly sad that he feels he has to explain anything to anyone. Smh. Poor man. Such a senseless and heartbreaking situation for so many. 🙏🏻

He is slightly to blame, be honest with yourself. He's not guilty of murder by his little prick of a nephew but listen to how disconnected he is with his own brother's kid. He's guilty of not being involved with his own family. I can understand if they lived in different states but they live in the Same f-ing house. That's bizarre.

The cops had to confiscate his knives and a sword because he threatened his family with murder months before his dad signed off on his foid. The parents and family need to be deeply investigated

Yes, they are guilty and responsible for their son's actions. Unfortunately, there is no help for situations like this. At least they could limit his drug use unless they use them too?

Just so folks are aware, please keep in mind that he listed off the warning signs while saying that he didn’t notice any. This is why they get missed by their families around them. Warning signs can include isolation, keeping to themselves, not saying much to family members, lack of employment, lack of life direction or focus, absorbing time with hobbies, looking for public attention and lack of communication with others within the home. The uncle listed all of those himself, unaware of the warning signs.
Vor yearrexman971
So what are you going to do? Throw every person like that in jail smh
Vor yearallkison
finally a smart comment.
Vor yearConnie Whitlock
Perfect analysis. The guy looks a bit deranged in previous videos. He may have needed an uncle or anybody willing to befriend this monster in the making to relate to some kind of reality or a sense of love or even a PLACE in the family probably even from a young age. What to think? I know this sounds far out, but I wonder Is it a case of no nurture and some kind of invading evil force waiting to invade a hollow shell?

In a strange way, this reminds me of a friend of mine who took his own life several years ago. None of us saw it coming. One day his mom went out to the garage to do some laundry and there he was, hanging in the corner. No warning. No indication. Nothing. I still get goosebumps whenever I recall that day...
Vor yearRR.S
Most people suffer in silence to not be a burden. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I had a buddy that did the same. His mother found him in the garage in the morning I believe. He lived a block or so away from me. Happened several years ago as well. He seamed to be always happy as ever out in public. Was a shock to everyone
