This American

[TWR]

That's just been Be-headed by these scum, it did not do HIM any good changing his name did it? regards hi Parents! do you find them a bit strange the way they reacted at the TV Interview? especially the father, what do you think?

[Old_Geezer]

Everyone deals with life's issues in their own way.

[-Talbot-]

Yes very strange, being very dignified under the circumstances was odd.

[ToraToraTora]

didn't help that he converted to the ROP either.

[Peter Pedant]

I regret his death and the way he died
who wants to be beheaded and be filmed whilst they do it ?

He was ex-army and had stress disorder.
The way he dealt with that was going back to help the people he was previously shooting up
... and converted, [ which we kinda wouldnt do, as anglos have cultural taboos against it ]

The American mother was in a modified chador so it looks as tho the whole family had converted.

I think we find some of the American slant rather odd:
In Ebola - some say "God has cured me", where it is quite obvious to the listener that advanced western technology has a place, and God seems not tobe doing his stuff in W Africa

R I P - wrong person wrong place wrong attitudes

I haven't seen the interview but would offer that, having had their son beheaded and then had that atrocity broadcast around the world, the parents may have been medicated.

I didn't see it. If you're saying you didn't think the father didn't look upset enough, given the circumstances, then I'm glad you're not in a position to know how someone "should" react. The parents of this man have probably never been on TV before, have never been through such a terrible situation and are probably shocked by what's happened. People don't go around wailing and weeping, however upset they might be.

To ask people for their opinions on the way to grieving parents conduct themselves in front of a camera is not really newsworthy is it TWR?

There has been occasions when the question might have been relevant (Philpott)
But I do not think Paula and Ed Kassig are in the frame?

[Chipchopper]

I didn't see the interview, so I'm not sure what you mean by //a bit strange//. Maybe you can expand on that.
Aside from that, I don't know how anyone would react to such a barbarous act.

I was not been Facetious when I posted this morning regards the Tragic Murder, when I saw the parent getting interviewed for reason I could not understand the way they showed their horror, the last time I'd seen this isa local family in our town lost their son, he was in a fight ( Drug related) his body was found in a local brook, I remember the boy growing up, he Mother was excited when the local paper called to interview her ( I was there) again, I did not mean any malice against the parents.
