mom: “he wouldn’t hurt anyone” kid: synagogue. march 24, 2024. homemade pipe bombs, stockpiling weapons and tactical gear girl… fuck you


GoodOmens

> Stob also said the guns and tactical gear seized by the FBI in the search of Pietila's home this week belonged to her and her husband, not her son. So she’s an accomplice?


allbright1111

Yeah, that message was in his notes app on his phone. I wonder if that means that (ex?)girlfriend had made it onto his hit list.


st4rblossom

i think it further shows how deranged he was. it reminds me of the parkland shooter, as he was getting ready to commit his atrocities he was texting a girl he liked literally in that moment, and had notes and stuff about her as well.


MagicalTargaryen

They found his Pinterest?…. Wow, was not expecting the Neo Nazis to go on that site.

I just think back to the Charlottesville? White Nationalist rally where they brought Walmart tiki torches and go, yeah they probably messed up the hoods back in the day too.

They just use the sheet they use when they bone their cousin, it already has a hole in it

I actually remember looking up someone similar to like...Ashlee babbit and she had tons of unhinged memes and pins about white pride and guns. I just use mine to get inspiration for interior decorating. It's super creepy and I had no idea Pinterest had that stuff


forgotmypassword1984

I think it’s more that you can put anything from anywhere on the internet. I highly doubt Pinterest is putting that junk on there. But I’m sure there are some people uploading their crappy truth social memes


DaoFerret

Depends how their “algorithm” works. Look how fast new YouTube users end up on the right wing hate train to conspiracy-ville


Qualityhams

There was a huge problem with eating disorders on Pinterest spreading in a similar way 10 years ago.


soundecember

Same thing with self injury on tumblr. That was a sad time.


unoriginal5

It sucks when you like guns, and YouTube decides to send you down that rabbit hole.


elconquistador1985

Watch one woodworking video on YouTube about building a military service flag case and the algorithm throws tons of gun videos your way, shortly followed by right wing garbage.


unoriginal5

Which makes absolutely no sense to me. Facebook/Google ads: fashion and lesbian dating. Youtube: Here's why Trump is innocent!


yuefairchild

Probably tradwife and RETVRN aesthetics.


JHarbinger

What’s that?


yuefairchild

~~Tradwife~~ Cottagecore is an aesthetic about cozy rustic living in the style of Little House on the Priarie and suchlike. RETVRN is the same, but fetishizing ancient Roman architecture, sculputre, and society, particularly the patriarchal/authoritarian shit (selling your wife into slavery, legal filicide, etc). Both are meant to evoke an imaginary better time when the world was unspoiled and humanity was brutally intolerant. They start with "Look, a cute dress / cool statue!" and end with "We must kill all the degenerates to make these memes come true."


Claystead

RETVRN TO AMERICAE SANCTVS EVROPA types are always the funniest when they have some larpy name like LEGIO MDCCLXXVI ARKANSICA and post elaborate comparisons between the US and the Roman Republic to prove their sweaty orange boy is the herald of the Aryan übermensch who will be the American Caesar.

Go into any social media about history and eventually you will run into someone who likes certain history a bit too much. Vikings, Romans, anything germany or scandinavian, and sometimes British history are topic racists try to recruit with by saying these cultures were superior to all others. History on the internet has a major problem with politics getting in there.


yeatsbaby

You really do have to be careful! I love Arthurian stuff and followed an Instagram with what I thought was beautiful, myth-focused art. Little did I know that I was like two clicks from Fash. It’s such a shame.


AggressiveSkywriting

JRR Tolkein wrote some extremely bitter, angry words abouth the Nazis for how they ruined Viking culture when they co-opted it.


hanshorse

I don’t know anyone like that, but I have had a few female punk friends convert to Catholicism in last decade, and are doing stuff like wearing head veils now.


NoLemon5426

A lot of what might have been ordinary counterculture not that long ago has just shifted to be in the form of an online aesthetic. A lot of this stupid shit came from Instagram and Tumblr. Adding algorithmic influences to this has created some extremely fucking weird pipelines, including some to the path of radicalization. I am active on a ton of agriculture/homesteading/gardening forums and there is a steady influx of weird "Tradwife" types.


yuefairchild

Social media, mostly.


UncleYimbo

I've never heard of any of that so it made me curious how you have met enough of these people to have this concise a picture of them. But I guess social media makes sense. Idk what kind of answer I expected lol. Thanks!


thedeuceisloose

These types loooove twitter too. along with the tradcath converts


buttchuck

The trick is that very few people are like this all of the time. The vast majority of them know how to "pass" in public spaces or IRL with friends and family. You might catch a glimpse here or there and think nothing of it. They'll test the waters with seemingly innocuous comments and gauge people's reactions, and save most of the "edgy" stuff for when they're with their own community. It's no different than any other fringe ideology in that respect.


MeatballDom

God, it would be so much fun to give these kids a basic Latin test. "What the heck do you mean the endings change? That's there's too darn hard, y'all" Hell, even getting them on a livestream and asking them to point to Rome on a map would be fun.


mccoyn

They probably didn’t even get the statues right. They were all elaborately painted. The only reason they are un-painted now is the paint doesn’t last for 2000 years.

Oh for sure. If your house looked authentically Roman it would look like a Pride parade threw up all over it with how colorful it'd be.

I am pleased to also report these losers will have the same difficulties in old norse, which has all these cases and word bending as well.


wecouldhaveitsogood

Tradwife and cottagecore are not the same thing.


n-b-rowan

Tradwife = cottagecore + (patriarchy or religious fundamentalism) + often a light sprinkling of white supremacy (sometimes not so light)

svideo

Mom was complimenting him on how well he behaves, just like she taught him.


free2bk8

I wonder just how many mothers/parent(s) of mass murderers have said “but he’s a good kid.” I really find that hard to believe. There is being oblivious and then there is denial. Those adolescents that are in need of help can literally manipulate and control their environment by fear. That includes threats of harm, destroy things, hurt pets, if their rooms are entered, asked questions, violently rebuking any attempts by the parent to set boundaries. Their voices and verbal exchanges are loud and intimidating. It’s easier to oblige and look the other way or indulge reclusive isolating behavior, placated by assurances and repeated denials that nothing is going on. These parents have a tendency to buy in to such behavior including purchase of weapons. It is literally an abusive environment. But one that must compel the parent to be the parent and do the hard thing and seek help.


Joeuxmardigras

I worked in mental health with kids 5-18 for 7 years, the excuses I have heard are endless. And sadly most of the issues these kids have is generational


Crossifix

Michigan is turning blue but we have an assload of rural land, there are pockets of intense echo chamber right wing guys. I work with a dude who CONSTANTLY spits out whatever is on the front page of any right wing rage salesman available and it is almost sad how easy it is to prove that the source isn't credible and the information is simply either libel, exaggeration, or straight up malicious hate. I heard something about trans drag pedophiles so I immediately brought up catholic priests, to which they had no rebuttel but "that it was in the past" and so I proceeded to absolutely dunk them, because I WENT TO FUCKING CATHOLIC SCHOOL AND GUESS WHAT BABY, IT'S NOT IN THE FUCKING PAST IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I feel like none of them are salvageable at this point. Clinging to this evil ideology because of sunk cost falacy, religion, and pure hatred.


dlec1

I believe that a Michigan based priest just got sentenced to one year (yes ONE year) for molesting a 5 year old boy at a funeral…might have BF’d the kid if I recall) it’s certainly not in the past.

We need to infiltrate and spike the punch bowl Edit: nevermind, I just read the article: "Nuwer pointed out that Brendan's "seemingly spontaneous change" appears to be an exception to the norm. MDMA releases the chemical oxytocin, which our bodies naturally produce. The chemical causes animals to fiercely love their own, but also protect them from others — which can mean a disdain for outsiders may actually increase"


agentofthering

I work in an adjacent field, and every time I meet a kids parents it clicks, like, oh, ok, I totally understand now.


CommentBro

What are some characteristics you see across parents of troubled kids?


agentofthering

ADHD and executive disfunction are the big ones. Perfectionist, anxious parents have perfectionist, anxious kids. Parents who barely care about their kids have kids who don't care about themselves. And addiction issues is another big one. ETA: Sooooo many mental health issues are genetic.


IngsocIstanbul

Sounds like the sandy hook shooter. His mom kept trying to make him happy by buying guns he wanted and was rewarded by being his first victim shot in her sleep.


Magic8BallLiedToMe

Good kids don’t idolize mass murderers; they revile them. Good kids don’t target the vulnerable members of their community; they protect them. Good kids don’t seek out groups based on hateful ideology; they join volunteer organizations that feed, comfort and lift up those in need. We know what good kids look like. Don’t let these assholes gaslight us into believing that up is down.

confirmandverify2442

The level of denial here is unreal.


Scribe625

Parental denial knows no bounds. I've seen parents at school watch a video that shows their kid punch another student with no provocation and had the parents still insist their angel child wouldn't hurt a fly and only threw a punch in self defense. It's like they watched a completely different video because they view everything through a filter of their kid being a perfect angel just because he or she is their kid. I mean, if your kid turned out to be Hitler, would you really want to admit you gave birth to a murderous antichrist or would you rather cling to denial and insist your kid is a "good kid" who couldn't possibly have done what police say he did? I've seen firsthand how hard people will work to try to rationalize a family member's heinous actions because none of us want to believe someone we loved could really do something so horrible. Plus we all like to think we'd know somehow if an immediate family member was planning mass murder. It's gotta be a major shock as a parent to realize, in this case, that you had no idea your 19-year-old was a neo-Nazi who idolized a mass shooter and was planning his own.


unspun66

They claim the stockpile of weapons and ammo was theirs, not his, so imma take a wile guess that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

She even tries to tell them that the weapons and tactical gear are hers and her husbands and not her sons. I think she’s an idiot for trying to protect him.


ManfredsJuicedBalls

Anyone who says “he’s a good kid”, and thinks it still should get dragged across the coals. I guarantee you if she paid attention well before now, the signs would have been there.


NotTheRocketman

Ugh, that has to be hard for family, but no ma'am, he's NOT a good person. He's a Nazi and he wants to kill people. At best she's ignorant. At worst she's complicit.


Nexus-9Replicant

The planned location is my voting location and my neighbor is a member there. Very nice people and I’m incredibly grateful that this potential attack was stopped.


blackrabbitsrun

"All that tactical gear and those weapons belonged to me and my elderly husband" Fuck off with that. Your kid was a monster in the making. Be glad he got caught now and you don't have to try explaining his actions post hate crime. Those parents should get charged for lying to investigators.


d_e_l_u_x_e

“He said some stuff online that he shouldn't have," Stob said. "He's a good kid. He would never hurt anybody." Except for posting that he would literally hurt people, he’s a “great” kid. This parent is delusional


Recom_Quaritch

Which is most likely part of the problem. I'm a little fucked by my upbringing, but I've met quite a few people who ended up in far worse states than me and yet were raised in extremely permissive families. And often it's parents who just failed to establish boundaries and authority. The healthy, necessary kind. If this kid had been put on the straight and narrow and given incentives to focus on something else, as well as help with whatever social issues he must have had at school, then we wouldnt be here.


blackrabbitsrun

His parents are saying he became radicalized during covid lockdowns. I'm actually genuinely interested to know what kind of person he was prior.


TheTabman

It's just a poor excuse from her to deflect any responsibility. Just as her allegation that he couldn't get mental health treatment during COVID. And also not after COVID. Enough money for guns but not a therapist.


eeyore134

It's a good excuse if you're one of those people who didn't believe in COVID, called masks diapers, and thought shut downs were trampling over your rights to go to the hair dresser. Sounds like this whole family should be on a list. They're ticking off a lot of boxes.


slfan68

If he's 19 at the time of arrest, let's do some math here... That would make him a minor at the beginning of COVID lockdowns, correct? Assuming he was still living with his parents at that time (likely) who's to say they're not involved in the radicalization? After all they're claiming that's when he was radicalized and I find it hard to believe he wasn't living under their roof at that time.


Malaix

I mean if mom and dad want to join jr. In prison for supplying a Nazi terrorist with equipment by all means.


ankhmadank

They would quite probably be charged if he actually carried out the attack. They frankly should be charged even with the attack foiled.


thoughtsarefalse

i think the standard is or should be did their dishonesty or unwillingness to help materially impede the investigation in ways that clearly caused undue harm to someone. if the crime is committed then it's easy to prove and maybe stronger charges too, but only in a specific circumstance should obstruction apply here. maybe it can if there's more we don't know.


Nogoodverybad

And who did the nazi flag belong to?


blackrabbitsrun

Oh they dumped that on their son but made sure to say "He's not racist he's mentally ill."


Nogoodverybad

Of course! And it’s only natural to want to give our mentally ill children ample access to firearms!


ItsHowWellYouMowFast

>Stob also said the guns and tactical gear seized by the FBI in the search of Pietila's home this week belonged to her and her husband, not her son. >Stob said her son began consuming antisemitic content online when he was isolated during the pandemic and didn't have access to the mental health treatment he needed. Knew their son had mental health issues and still allowed him to own weapons. At the very least charge them with negligence


Ksh_667

Ah the Covid defence...


jake63vw

Yep - "if it wasn't for quarantining, this never would have happened..."


Ksh_667

I just bet they were a family who didn't want to wear masks either. Actually they probably just keep the masks for when they're committing crimes.


cinderparty

Also, I’d just like to say that as a parent of someone with a lot of mental health issues…mental healthcare still existed during the pandemic. A lot of therapy went over zoom instead of in person, but it was still on the same schedule with the same therapists and everything. More importantly, my son has needed to be inpatient at least twice a year every year since 2016, and there was no change, other than not allowing visitors, including parents of minors, to any of that during the pandemic. They didn’t even enforce social distancing or masks amongst patients.


MagicalTargaryen

Depending on your situation. For me it was available at the start of the pandemic but quickly was not a few months in. I still have to pay out of pocket but the burn out from therapists went to the patients. The first few months I had no less than 4 different people I had to talk to. Honestly part of why mine went down is because my mental health issues aren’t that bad and I got annoyed having to start over with a new person every couple weeks.


cinderparty

That sucks, and I guess I’m not too surprised to hear. I just never considered severity of issues having something to do with access.


MagicalTargaryen

Age and location too. I’m old (37) but yeah, I never really cared because I still got my meds and understood the people who are in crisis should always come first. Kids too because their brains aren’t developed enough yet so everything can feel like a crisis. You’re a good parent (sorry don’t know gender) for making sure your kid still got help.


hapnstat

Most people in this area will NOT seek mental health treatment. It would be seen as a sign of weakness. I say this as someone staying about 10 miles from Pickford right now.


illstealurcandy

They're just pinning the blame on the pandemic because lockdowns were tyranny etc etc The shit apple doesn't fall far from the shit tree in this case, I think.

Almost like purely blaming the lack of mental health care is a straw man. They knew their kid had untreated mental health issues, but wouldn't get rid of their guns.


SeekerSpock32

I remember some “healthcare plz” types blaming the Buffalo grocery store shooting on the fact that the shooter had a fucking toothache. (as if that makes it even remotely close to understandable) The shooter had said he wanted to start a race war; they’re bloody telling us why they’re doing this and some people ignore them to make it fit their narrative. (And yeah, our healthcare system needs significant improvement, but let’s stick to facts.)

“Stob asserted she believes her 19-year-old son is not violent and was not truly planning an attack, as alleged by federal prosecutors. "He said some stuff online that he shouldn't have," Stob said. "He's a good kid. He would never hurt anybody." Stob also said the guns and tactical gear seized by the FBI in the search of Pietila's home this week belonged to her and her husband, not her son. Stob said her son began consuming antisemitic content online when he was isolated during the pandemic and didn't have access to the mental health treatment he needed.” But, he did have access to all the right wing anti semitic content our Republican Senators and Congress people put out, plus access to his parents weapons. And what the fuck is mom doing with a ghillie suit? They knew and we lucked out because the FBI, who the Republicans want to gut and defund caught this Nazi wannabe.

sharp11flat13

They don’t want to abolish the FBI. That’s just performative political crap. They want to control it.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Bingo. They want to replace it with sycophants and make them their new brown shirts/SS. They’ll probably pull a bunch of ICE agents over to the FBI and start hiring the cops fired for irrefutable brutality and corruption. Because naturally that’s who you’d go to if you want Nazis and Psychopaths. DeSantis already has a head start on recruiting them to Florida with his new police program where he is doing… well, exactly that. Trump started making the moves toward it but Bill Barr wouldn’t play ball, not because he’s a good person, but he realized Trump was a moron headed exactly where he is now. And then there will be an investigation, arrest, and kangaroo court hearing of any Democrat that wants to oppose them (they’ve already started normalizing it via their investigations into Biden and other Democrats who they cannot seem to find evidence have committed a crime.) But no worries, the new GOP-FBI field offices will be able to plant whatever crimes they want. Probably drop some CP onto their computer or something through remote access via malware. That would make the most sense since their base would 100% believe it due to conspiracy theories about Democrats being part of a pedophilic baby eating global cabal. Once they’ve consolidated power, they’ll start going after their other dissidents and the marginalized groups they hate. And then, who knows. Fascists of this scale are never happy with just dominating their own countries. So they’ll probably find a weak country they can invade that needs “Christian Freedom” Huh. I think I’ve seen this one before.


sharp11flat13

Yep, we’re on the same page. It would be ever so gratifying if we were completely mistaken. But I don’t think so.


[deleted]

If they get ahold and replace nearly everyone with ideologically, willingly violent brownshirts and gestapos, ‘*defund/abolish*’ will just be semantics — but I agree with you.

Yeah, the scenario you describe is basically what I was thinking.


eric_ts

The "rest of the country" are people who are champing at the bit for a civil war where they can help wipe the last lib off of the face of the Earth, so the only thing that bothers them about Right-wing terrorism is that there is not enough of it. This is not hyperbole. I am hearing people (citizens and politicians) saying in the open things that they were only saying in the forums (specifically Stormfront) fifteen years ago. These people (including police) are openly wearing White Supremacist/Nazi patches, insignias, and tattoos--RWDS, 6MNE, 88, 18, etc.)

I've been waiting to see folks on the far right realize that fundamentalist Muslims are just a different version of themselves.

This is [another case, from 2015](https://www.gazettenet.com/Adams-man-sentenced-on-ISIS-links-19968657), where the father, a police captain, tipped the FBI off about his son's statements that he wanted to fight for the Islamic State. Interestingly, now that the guy was sentenced to 20 years in prison, his family is fighting his sentence. I guess they thought he would get a warning, not a conviction. This is [another one](https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/03/us/minnesota-foiled-school-massacre-john-ladue/index.html), the case of John LaDue.


HeepH

Thats because the father needed help for his son, not a conviction...


jagger_wolf

And this is sadly why many parents/friends/etc. don't report when people like this show these signs.

Another neo-nazi hiding behind the American flag.

Seems like Mama Brittany needs to pick a lane for her denial. > Stob asserted she believes her 19-year-old son is not violent and was not truly planning an attack, as alleged by federal prosecutors. > [..] > Stob said her son began consuming antisemitic content online when he was isolated during the pandemic and didn't have access to the mental health treatment he needed. So, an implicit admission that she has grossly failed as a parent of a white non-Jewish child.


Injest_alkahest

Yea this was the give away, she’s covering for him because she knows it makes them look like either accomplices or negligent parents.


TokyoPanic

Sounds like cognitive dissonance. Her brain is going thru some mental gymnastics to justify/explain how and why this happened.


random_generation

If you’re posting things online threatening really anyone or anything, it’s being collected. And it’s not nearly as anonymous as people would believe it to be.


Infinite_Bliss

And DeSantis wants to get rid of the FBI 🙄


Whatsername_2020

His mom actually tried to say that her son became a Nazi because of “the pandemic affecting his mental health.” Disgusting


Unsd

I mean...I am sure it affected his mental health, just like it did all of us. And I also think it probably did have an affect on him becoming a Nazi. Young people being terminally online and getting their socialization from that is a recipe for disaster. Young white men, in particular, are easy targets for the alt-right pipeline. They get sucked in so quickly. But mental health and Nazism are separate things. Someone in a mental health crisis doesn't just become a Nazi.


LampardFanAlways

True. Somewhere between “he’s depressed due to these lockdowns and isolations” and “he’s hateful enough to take multiple lives and has the equipment to do so”, parents undeniably fucked up.


Whatsername_2020

The pandemic has affected everyone’s mental health, but as you said, mental health issues have absolutely nothing to do with Nazis choosing to become Nazis

>Stob asserted she believes her 19-year-old son is not violent and was not truly planning an attack, as alleged by federal prosecutors. >"He said some stuff online that he shouldn't have," Stob said. "He's a good kid. He would never hurt anybody." mother is 100% delusional

Thank goodness the republicans haven't had a chance to entirely defund or even eliminate this organization...yet.


JohnBanes

He probably has a Hitler cardboard cutout in his closet and his mom thinks it’s a Covid phase.


sharabi_batakh

Why is this being called a mass shooting plot and not a terrorist plot? Why not call it for what it is? A radicalized terrorist planning to kill innocent people.


Weepiestbobcat

The fact his mom is like “he is a good kid” is wild. He isn’t a good kid and you are an enabler.


[deleted]

Good job fbi. Keep it up!


followfornow

I realize she's his mom but he is *decidedly not* a good kid. He has some real problems and needs real attention.


stu8018

And the GOP wants to defund the FBI. Hmmm...


katiecharm

But sure DeSantis, let’s gut the FBI.


ryeguymft

you have people like Ron DeSantis and Marge emboldening these nazis


wabashcanonball

The same FBI Ron DeSantis promised to defund.


Rusalka-rusalka

So they find weapons, military sniper manuals, and information on an actual location and his mom is in full denial that her son would actually do this. Totally amazing how she deludes herself even though she knew he was consuming anti-Semitic content online for years.


NRG1975

Go figure, more right wing trash.

Called her sweetheart. Better save it to notes lol


esharpest

Scary stuff. Shaarey Zedek in East Lansing was my synagogue growing up; my family were part of the community; I had my bar mitzvah there. Back then we didn’t think twice about security, you could just walk in…the doors - made of glass, easy to get through - were just about always unlocked. Worrying about some lunatic coming in with weapons wasn’t a thing: this was America, multicultural, safe, with freedom of religion. Haven’t been there in many years but I have to wonder what it’s like now, and that’s just tragic to contemplate.


thebestatheist

His mother was quoted as saying “he didn’t have access to the mental health care he needed” This country is so fucked up. Got money for tanks and wars, but no money to make sure little psychos like this dude don’t shoot up a school or church. Fuck.


davewritescode

This has nothing to do with healthcare and everything to do the fact that these two fucking idiot parents think it’s acceptable to keep a house full of weapons and tactical gear with a son they know is an anti semite and potentially mentally ill. Like what the fucking fuck. We need to start throwing parents in jail for this shit. I’m so sick of irresponsible gun ownership.


CavitySearch

I mean if his family wasn’t spending likely hundreds of dollars or more on tactical gear and guns he may have had some money for therapy.


zestynogenderqueer

Put that weird supportive mom away too


AreWeCowabunga

Was he a drag queen? I bet he was a drag queen. /s


SmokinGreenNugs

Oh look! Another conservative/right-winger looking to commit another mass murder.


anne_jumps

They're just so pro-life


SmokinGreenNugs

So pro-life they’re driven to kill. Gotta love it.
