MAGAbomber Cesar Sayoc's mother rebukes Trump's rhetoric in letter - Sensationalist Headlines

https://abcnews.go.com/US/raised-mother-mail-bombing-suspect-cesar-sayoc-wrote/story?id=58963938 The mother of the man suspected of mailing more than a dozen suspicious packages to prominent politicians, media figures and celebrities said she did not raise her children to incite fear, describing her accused son as having been mentally ill "for a long time." Madeline Sayoc, the mother of 56-year-old Cesar Sayoc, told ABC News in an exclusive letter sent by her attorney that she awoke from surgery last week to learn that he had been accused of mailing at least 14 suspicious packages addressed to liberal politicians and others who support liberal policies, such as Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Robert De Niro. "While I have not lived with my son for 35 years or even heard from him in over four years, I cannot express how deeply hurt, sad, shocked and confused I am to hear that my son may have caused so many people to be put in fear for their safety," Madeline Sayoc wrote. "This is not how I raised him or my children." Madeline Sayoc said her son has struggled with mental illness for some time, adding that the nation has work to do in how it deals with mental health. "My son has been ill for a long time and my family and I have tried, over and over again, without success to urge him to get the help he needs," she wrote. "We, in America, have a mental health crisis in this country and need to change laws to allow families to compel and require mental health treatment for those in need of such treatment before their illness worsens to where it is too late." The mother also called upon President Donald Trump and other leaders to consider how their words can be viewed by some as "license to violently act out in our country." "...Our political leaders, like our President Donald Trump, need to recognize that there are many sick people in this country who take their rhetoric and words of 'War with the Media' and ' War with the Democrats' to heart," she said. "...I beg President Trump and others to refrain from talk of War with fellow Americans and remembers, as Senator McCain taught us, that we may politically disagree but we are all patriotic Americans and all we want is a safe country for all Americans." Daniel Lurvey, Sayoc's former attorney who represented him in his grand theft and petty theft charges in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, expressed surprise that he was arrested for the string of suspicious packages, describing him as "a gentleman" with "no political agenda." "He’s as regular, non-political as can be," Lurvey told ABC News after Sayoc was arrested, adding also that he is "somewhat gregarious and friendly." Sayoc was arrested on Oct. 26 after investigators tracked his cell phone to a parking lot in Plantation, Florida. Authorities identified him as the suspect after finding a fingerprint on one of the packages sent to Rep. Maxine Waters and matched it to a print Sayoc provided during one of his previous arrests. Another one of Sayoc's former attorneys, Miami-based lawyer Ronald Lowy, told ABC News after his arrest that Sayoc's mother is a committed democrat and that his alleged behavior is inconsistent with her political views.

It's never easy seeing a loved one fall in with a cult.

I don't see where it says anything about a cult... just that he was apparently already ill and decided to use "party affiliation" as his reasoning... Oh shit, nvm, didn't notice the username. I'll step aside, m'lord.

Asparkle's shitpost dedication aside, The republican party post 2016 has been hijacked and is for all intents and purposes a cult. It's acting in all the useless, toxic and hostile ways they're accusing the Democrats of and unlike SJW's who are a minority subset of retards who need to fuck off, it's starting to become very clear that most politically active republicans absolutely have a field-day with sowing fear, hatred and despair. Lies have become the order of the day. This is why you have a box-alamo now.

ASparkle posted a sensible and respectful comment on a difficult matter and you choose to act like an asshole? Good zinger, bro.
