TRIGGERS DON'T PULL THEMSELVES / "PARENTIS ABSENTIUS": AMERICA'S MOST LETHAL DISEASE
Vol. II | Issue. 101 | July 11, 2022
Triggers don’t pull themselves, the GUN and the MURDERER are partners in crime. Criminally negligent parents should also go to prison.
Mass murderer Robert Crimo III may have crawled out of a swamp, but not out of a vacuum. In each mass shooting from Columbine to Blackburg, to Sandy Hook, to Parkland, to Uvalde, to Highland Park, as well as all the other previous instances and those that are tragically likely to happen in the future, there have been dire warning signs along the way.
The Crimo Family swamp provides a classic example of “Parentis Absentius”; fraught with ignored warnings from school officials, multiple police visits, parental help in securing murder weapons, failure to follow through with arrest, and involuntary commitment when Bobby Crimo III threatened the entire family with murder, etc.
If the Crimos didn’t suffer from Parentis Absentitus (absent parents for those of you who don't speak Latin), were not AWOL, and had been the first responders in spotting the destructive anomalies in their future murderer’s behavior from a young age, these horrible recent Highland Park murders would have never happened.
In virtually every one of these cases, once the story comes out, we learn that the murderers as young children, adolescents, etc. exhibited either seriously anti-social, violent or threatening behavior. Almost invariably, AWOL parents do nothing but ignore any and all signs of fledgling insanity.
Once the parents of a future murderer abdicate their responsibility, all other institutional responders fall in line.
The disease of Parentis Absentitus has a complicated, but simple history in American culture and society. At the urging of the Feminist Industry in the later 1960s / early '70s, along with other destructive cultural forces that created the mass messaging of the "if it feels good, do it” ethos, the centrality of the nuclear family unit as the most stabilizing force in a Civilized Society and the Nuclear Family in America, began to crumble.
Once upon a time, based upon the ubiquitously acknowledged sanctity of the Nuclear Family, divorce was hard to come by. The party seeking a divorce had significant legal barriers to hurdle before the divorce was granted.
Then voila! No-fault divorce, pay $100 bucks, and I'm outta here…
The Feminist Industry also radically devalued the idea and sanctity of motherhood and homemaking, thereby degrading traditional family life as being the province of rubes and simpletons. Now we have three generations of parents who consider their parental responsibilities to cease and desist at times when those responsibilities become challenging, inconvenient, or are overshadowed by other things in their lives that give them more pleasure.
It is important to understand that the destruction of the Nuclear Family in America, is the centrality of almost every social ill act in this country. Along with the destruction of the Nuclear Family, comes the inevitable absence of teaching, nurturing, discipline, personal responsibility, the perpetuation of healthy values, and the support of all civilizing institutions.
Sure, Mass Murderers come from all walks of life… However, most, if not all, have one thing in common: They have been raised in a household infected by America’s most lethal affliction, "Parentis Absetitus".
Guns without their murderous partner can't pull the trigger by themselves... Without the restoration of the Nuclear Family, this disease will continue to kill people and The American Way.

I argued this point face-to-face with the Wisconsin Attorney General. He threw up his hands and said there was nothing the government can do other than rely on families to report. In this case, there was plenty of law-enforcement and family reporting. Hence this is a gross failure of government and has nothing to do with availability of weapons.
