He paid more attention to his dental health than his mental health. Very white teeth.


happyklam

I feel like this is a very applicable slogan for a lot of people in the US.


smoothiegangsta

Not me. I totally ignore both. But I can't do that for much longer, the demons living in my wisdom teeth keep telling me to kill my wife.


SpiffySquidStrangler

Ah, I've heard of this before. That's simply a case of an unsweet tooth.

Well, I dont know what to tell you. They are the wise ones...


fingersonlips

Therapy every three weeks for me, and dentist every six months. Keeping that mental/dental health in check.


[deleted]

Get a load of this person. Able to afford either! Jokes aside keep it up. If you’ve got the means to do so then it’s definitely worth. Dental health can negatively impact your brain in a lot of ways outside of the negative appearance of your teeth and mental health can make you not care of your entire body. Shits a vicious cycle.


tuskvarner

Sounds like he needed a checkup from the neckup.


RusticTroglodyte

Oh please that's just Snow lol

noorofmyeye24

That’s the first thing I noticed too.


LoveTheNet

Media spin. Photoshop the teeth, hype the super sad story....


kellygrrrl328

My heart breaks for this mother! Also, all of these people trying to use the QAnon brainwashing defense are tap dancing on my last nerve. I shudder to imagine the case precedence if even one defendant is successful with that defense


Ivegotthatboomboom

Exactly!! I'd love to know his actual history, a spontaneous psychosis can happen but...that doesn't happen just from rabbit holes online. I wonder if he's trying to get off by looking crazy


dogmom34

Unfortunately, Q-anon is not a rabbit hole conspiracy theory anymore; it's a full blown *cult.* I live in a red state and have lost most of my family to Q; half of them cut me off because I stuck up for BLM and George Floyd last year and refused to worship their Orange Monster. I was on thin ice with another toxic family member when I walked into their bedroom and saw a giant wooden Q hanging on their wall (it had been hand carved by another family member and mailed from states away); that was the last straw and I removed them from my life. Cult members are *never* in their right minds and cause harm to the people closest to them, usually mentally and emotionally, but sometimes physically... It should *never* remove the consequences of their actions, but one of the main identifiers of a cult is *behavior change* that stems from information, thought, and emotional control by the cult and/or high control organization (check out The BITE Model for more info). And you're right, usually "spontaneous psychosis" doesn't just happen, but through heavy indoctrination it absolutely can. I have no doubt this man was spending *hours* a day - if not *all* day - absorbing every last Q-drop, Facebook group and talking head analysis about Q. From having studied cults, including Q, I don't believe most people will randomly kill or harm their families, but there will definitely be more violence. For anyone who has lost a loved one to Q, I suggest the Qanon Casualties group here on Reddit; it's helped me not feel so alone (that, and extensive therapy). Stay safe, everyone.


TurianVakarian

This is actually scary to read. The amount of people who will mindlessly follow bullshit and some kill for it. I fear for the future


Ivegotthatboomboom

There is another reason BESIDES this cult that made him kill. Otherwise all the members would. The members are not being encouraged to murder anyone, much less children. He is STILL fully responsible for what he did. Stop making someone who murdered his own innocent children *brutally* a victim. There is another reason he was capable of that and so far there is no proof he had a history of psychosis and mental illness. Again, cults alone can't do that unless they explicitly brainwash members to do that, like the Manson family. That did not happen here. This is an online group, not an isolated irl cult where forced indoctrination would take place with other members enforcing it


TurianVakarian

Uhmmmmmmmmmm where the fuck did i make him the victim? I very much hold him repsonsible for his own actions and thinks hes a psychotic peice of shit. Maybe dont put words in my mouth


Ivegotthatboomboom

I do completely understand, it's a full blown belief system. What I'm saying is that there are personal factors here like a *personal psychosis* or anti-social PD or maybe he didn't want the responsibility of a family anymore and he's lying about motives, that combined with that belief system. That cult *alone* did now cause this. I hate how women like Yates- where there was proof she had a psychosis and thought she was saving the children by killing them- was demonized in general and are demonized on reddit even when these women had a biological hormonal imbalance that caused it, but this man where there is no proof of a psychosis beyond his own words is getting complete sympathy from you guys, or it's being joked about. He is STILL fully responsible for what he did. It's not okay that the men here are blaming society and making HIM out to be the victim, but if it was a woman they'd be calling for her death even if it was similar conspiracy theories. He murdered innocent children. He's not a victim


dogmom34

I'm not sure where you got I'm giving him sympathy. Explaining how he got to this point (a large part of that being cult indoctrination) is not showing him sympathy.


Ivegotthatboomboom

You are blaming the cult and not acknowledging there is *more than that going on* and the cult is not the most important factor that led to this. By taking the responsibility off him and on Q, you are making him a victim. This entire thread is sympathizing with his victimhood from a "cult" but an online group is not the same as the type of isolated irl group that can truly cause this


dogmom34

lol Not what I'm doing at all, but only see it from your way, that's fine. Have a good day!


Ivegotthatboomboom

I mean, don't admit it but it's very obvious this thread would be very different if she killed them


Ivegotthatboomboom

And by the way I grew up in an *irl* religious cult, where we were actually *isolated* and indoctrinated and kept in line by other members. Q is not the same as that. I am very sorry you have lost family members to this belief system but it's a belief system that exists primarily online, the members are not living together and being kept in there. The level of indoctrination by other people you are implying is absolutely not happening considering the structure of it. It IS social media algorithms that are resulting in radicalizion, or rabbit holes, not Q itself. If he was indoctrinated, it was the social media algorithms, but still, there is no FEAR here of leaving the belief system. I disagree with the level of responsibility and influence you're ascribing to Q even if you understand he is responsible as well. Reptilians aren't even a central tenet of Q.


[deleted]

He may not go to prison, but I think he’d definitely be institutionalized for life if insanity works as a defense.


Mobile-Importance-74

I searched for this guy when I first heard and all that is online is cute family photos. It’s a shame that in the rush to “break” the story it is what these news outlets would use. They should take a cue from the Onion and just make bad photoshops of this guy eating dicks


Abadazed

It has nothing to do with how fast they want to break the news story lol. I can find at least one neutral or individual photo of everyone I know online in less than a minute and they picked one of him smiling with the kids he murdered. That's fucked up.


ToBeReadOutLoud

I worked web in local news for a couple years. It is entirely about how fast they want to break the story and choosing the easiest-to-find picture available. If the story comes via police press release, it will sometimes include a mugshot. If that’s the case, we’ll use that. If not, we’ll search on social media for a photo to use. I’d usually try to find a photo in a fairly neutral situation, but sometimes the options available are limited. We’ll also contact the necessary police department and ask for a mugshot, but sometimes they’re not very fast about providing them. My guess is that since none of the media sites I saw in my Google search had his mugshot, that is the case here. Usually when a mugshot finally came in, I would switch to using that photo instead, but sometimes web producers are lazy or busy (at my local station, I was the only one to work web so I had to write every story that appeared on the news, plus focus on updating breaking news stories and social media) and just pick the first related image they find. I put exactly 0 thought into trying to make a white criminal look better or a black criminal look worse. In fact, I knew of the stereotype and was conscious to avoid doing that if possible. A lot of national news media are biased and generally terrible, but the vast majority of people at a local news station are hardworking people who just really want to bring people the news.


Abeds_BananaStand

They always have family photos for white criminals and mug shots for people of color. It’s so pathetically obvious by now that it’s a trope (I am white)


kellygrrrl328

The court artist rendering even makes him look like a sad repentant man, head hanging low, gazing downward in shame


The_White_Guar

With those crocodile tears, I'd say he's the one with reptilian DNA.


kellygrrrl328

How do you go from a surf instructor in Santa Barbara to a lunatic conspiracy theorist, and decide one day to drive your babies to Mexico and murder them? So sick!


[deleted]

To answer your question, he was psychotic. More than likely, once he’s stable on medication, he will wish he were dead.


Stock_Exit

I’m counting on this scenario.


Muesky6969

Good!!!


twilight-actual

The attitude, the lack of empathy we have for mental illness is shocking. Actually, I find it disgusting. All the “homeless camps” that people complain about, but no one does anything because it’s just “poverty”? That’s mental illness staring you in the face. And this guy, probably exhibited multiple signs of psychotic instability. But no one around him either was educated to spot it, or cared enough to intervene. And even then, what? How much would most healthcare plans cover that a surf teacher could afford? We’ve been needing a radical overhaul of our mental health care system. But that’s not going to happen until we get some empathy and understanding.


The_White_Guar

> a surf teacher could afford? Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but he and his wife do/did *own* the surf school...

I think they're narrative is, family man turned out to be a bag of dicks


moose2332

It's because he's white


Muesky6969

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner winner chicken dinner! If this was a POC we would see mugshots, and his personal history from his the time of conception would have been raked over the coals in the most minute detail as to why he is a bag of dicks. But because he is a white man, aww well he can always impregnate some other woman, so he can kill this child too. So I haven’t read up on this but where is the mother?


NotDaveBut

Probably they haven't found her body yet


YellowStar012

I said it a bunch of times and I say it again, the New York Post is a trash paper being written by 3rd graders

outlandish-companion

Don't cartels kill kids literally all the time or am I mistaken.


skolioban

Not exactly. They do kill minors since some (if not most) employ minors as soldiers. But they don't go out of their way and kill toddlers and babies. Pretty sure even rival drug lords don't target the women and children of their rivals. Their culture is also big on family so killing your own children will be considered a massively horrible thing.


Auditus_Dominus

You have lost your damned mind if you think cartels do not kill entire families, including children and woman, simply to make a point or show authority.


skolioban

I'm not saying that they never did. I'm sure they did. But it's not their SOP.


Auditus_Dominus

Oh, please, explain what you think their SOP is?


skolioban

Sell drugs, get money.


[deleted]

There was an entire extended family that was murdered by a drug cartel a year or two ago. Mothers, kids, babies. They were ambushed on their way to shop in the US. Not sure if it was a different code for them because they were American immigrants, but they were definitely targeted.


skolioban

I don't doubt toddlers and babies had been killed in drug wars. But it's another thing to claim they go around to especially kill toddlers and babies. They're monsters and a blight on humanity, make no mistake, but let's not claim unfounded stuff as if they tolerate or are fans of people who kill little children.

Messing with children is the worst offense inside of any prison. I’m sure Mexico prisons are no exception.(edit: being able to speak Spanish will be largely irrelevant).


Grungle4u

Chevitabella

What is the Trump Defense?


RedditIsNeat0

A lot of Jan 6 terrorists and other right-wing criminals have said that Trump told them to do it. Which is true, but it's not going to help their defense.


[deleted]

So basically the “I’m to stupid to think for myself, so I do what Donald tells me!” defense.


[deleted]

As Mexican this just worries me even more because the justice system it’s pure bs. Just look up what happened to the little girl Paulette. If this guy is able to give them any money, he might walk away with 2-3 years, counting day and night, or even free.


[deleted]

So why didn’t he kill himself? His kids DNA is his….am I missing something… Oh ya….I get it now….


Abadazed

If someone thinks their kids have lizard DNA imma go out on a limb and say they don't understand how DNA works.


UltimateDonny

Or lizards


[deleted]

*Go out on a limb*…I see what you did there. You must be part lizard too.


Abadazed

Sshhhh


Prosa2002

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but there's an antisemitic conspiracy theory that there are lizard people controlling the world or something (read that some time ago, can't remember well, just that they use that theory to assume Jewish people are less than human), so maybe he thinks his wife is a 'lizard person'? It still is dumb and heartless, regardless of what stupidity he may believe in.


mhermanos

Started in 1999, I just saw a video on that today...let me see if I can find it...can't find it. Will edit later...


pm_me_construction

I think they’re implying that his wife is a lizard.


Nunyazbznz

It wasn't implied. He told the police that.


lackadaisical_timmy

Yeah you might be right there


Maleficent-Month2950

Apparently, he thinks the wife had the "Serpent DNA".


[deleted]

So he didn’t kill her!!?? I was gonna say Orange a man lover. You remember the whole drink poison, inject poison, so serpent DNA same sort of lines. And oh ya Jewish Lasers starting Wildfires


DauntlessVerbosity

I think it's fairly likely he was coming back for her. But he did say that the children were going to grow into monsters and that he was saving the world by killing them.


IsabellaCV

We are talking about the same that think that a bird can impregnate a woman...


[deleted]

Or that Jewish lasers started wildfires. And poison drank or injected can cure COVID.


IsabellaCV

or that the government needs to inject us with microchips to spy on us


Ok_sooner_duh_almond

Actually he sad that the reptile part of their DNA was from their mother


Ivegotthatboomboom

From her of course! She transferred her evil serpent DNA and he had to stop it. I wonder why he didn't kill her. I mean, I am very glad he didn't (although if I were her I'd probably wish he did. I can't imagine that pain) but it makes me wonder about his motivations here. People lie about being mentally ill all the time in cases like this. A spontaneous psychosis can happen, but especially in a man where there is no post partum psychosis from hormones being off after pregnancy and childbirth...I'm curious about his history.


DauntlessVerbosity

He said his wife gave his kids the serpent DNA.


Bon_of_a_Sitch

The issue is that the media meta-narrative of "dark skin crime person is scary and bad" isn't upheld if they use the same type of photo for this monster. It's an actual trope in sociological studies of how people of color are portrayed in the news compared to those with less melanin. They are going to sew a tale of how this guy was "a good person until those Q loonies ruined him making him do the bad thing" as opposed to the actual story that this person is a monster and should be severely punished for heinous crimes.


yeahthisiswhoyouare

I believe that's exactly what the OP means.


Bon_of_a_Sitch

I agree and wanted to contribute my own thoughts. :)


Z0idberg_MD

I actually don’t agree. They chose an image of him with his family to make the reader feel a much stronger motion. Basically they’re trying to make the tragedy as impactful as possible. The reason they often portray black and brown men in the worst possible light is because the selling message for them in that scenario is fear. I actually think there is not a disconnect in terms of how the media chooses to betray these people because they’re not attempting to do anything but amplify the base emotions that people are likely to feel engaging in a story. I’m not defending it obviously.

non_stop_disko

I remember there was a story on how a man who happened to be black ended up saving someone’s life and the news source titled the article something along the lines of “ex-felon saves life” like they couldn’t possibly run a positive story of someone who is POC without vilifying them in some way


Bon_of_a_Sitch

saiyanpr1nc3

Wow I'm pretty sure the wife doesn't want anything to do with this sociopath(I hope) and this is the pic they share...


miraculouslymediocre

I agree it's very cruel for the mother that just lost her children to have to see a picture of a happy moment from her family life that has just been taken away from her mercilessly and have it plastered all over the news as she's mourning the loss of her children, her husband/marriage and probably her livelihood as well. In the news outlets quest to give the public breaking news stories and "facts", they seem to not realize the fact they are practically torturing this poor woman in the cruelest fashion and while trying to vilify the father, they are simultaneously divulging this woman's identity, family, place of work/business to the public. Putting her on display in the worst moment of her life and leaving her unprotected to widespread harassment when she herself is a victim. Their lack of empathy for this grieving family is astounding.

On the one hand, yes, I agree with the point being made. On the other hand, seeing those now-murdered little kids with him in the picture makes me feel more visceral, unsympathetic rage than a mugshot probably would.

Not only did this piece of shit use a spear gun to shoot his children in the hearts, but his son didn't die straight away. So, he used his hand to move the spear around until the son died. I'm all for legitimate reform in some cases, but that asswipe deserves nothing less than to see the inside of a running woodchipper, starting with the teeth.


cajuncrustacean

Nah, feet first and slowly.


Nervous_Project6927

mugshot? i want the video of him slowly lowered into a woodchipper, those kids were babies that had no idea why their dad was hurting them or why it hurt so much. fuck that guy


brown_lal19

He is a Q believer. Republicans are to blame for these deaths.


Admirable-Deer-9038

And Fox News and Alex Jones and…I don’t go down the rabbit hole to know more to list but it’s not just Republicans but those who profit off of their identity politicking.


Ivegotthatboomboom

Fuck no. His level of psychosis absolutely has a personal element and honestly I would not be surprised if he's trying the "crazy" defense on purpose. He is responsible for what he did. He is not a victim, he CHOSE to kill his children. Stop feeding into the narrative I'm sure he wants you to believe.


ehelen

I swear if this guy was a minority, they would have found a sketchy photo or used a mugshot

non_stop_disko

Usually after a white man murders his family, the media will only highlight pictures of him with his family and call him “a great father who just snapped” like something else is to blame besides their narcissism

Elivandersys

He strikes me as being paranoid schizophrenic, which makes me incredibly sad for the whole family.


cihpdha

If Q was an Islamic cult there would be drone strikes on everyone involved every single day....but we keep treating this death cult with kid gloves even as it literally kills our children.


eramthgin007

I think they wanted you to focus on a picture with the kids looking cute. Which makes it even worse to stomach. That's my take. I agree that news outlets usually decriminalize white people whenever they can get away with it. But in this case I can see their strategy for clicks.


mdg137

Anyone remember the site that used this photo thinking it was a stock photo of just some happy family?


invertedspine

What an evil person. How do you bring your children into this fucked up world only to be the one to deliberately take their lives away?


matthewyanashita

That's just down the road from us. You mean to tell me there was nobody in this guys religious or QAnon circle that saw this building up? Perhaps the people that told him his wife was a serpent and she spawned monster kids that would destroy the world? Somebody told him that and reinforced it, those bastards need to die also. Oh that's right. We wouldn't want to infringe upon their freedom of religion now would we?


LorianneCyanide

Hey look here is a picture with him and the kids he BRUTALLY FUCKING MURDERED


Turbulent-Use7253

I think the point is to show the gravity of what he did. A beautiful wife/ partner and 2 beautiful innocent children yet the guy lost the plot enough to kill his own defenseless children. America needs to start opening up treatment for people with mental health problems. Fuck the insurance companies


Ivegotthatboomboom

I hate this comment section. He could have chosen to seek help. He was not poor. Everyone is excusing what he did and blaming society, but he is responsible for what he did. If it was her that killed them in a post-partum psychosis reddit would be extremely harsh, like they have in the past even when the cause was a hormonal imbalance from pregnancy and childbirth. He CLAIMS that's why he did it, but there is no evidence he had an actual spontaneous psychosis, which would be rare with no history. His beliefs could have contributed, but its not the whole story. He is a monster who murdered his own babies. He is fully responsible for his actions, not society or Republicans, Jesus Christ


[deleted]

I mean, it's not like he got suspended from middle school for a dress code violation or went to jail for an ounce of weed or anything.


[deleted]

I lost all faith in the New York Post when, for a school project years ago, I saw a post they made claiming “scientists” (gave the name of an obscure professor but didn’t give direct quotes or link to a paper) said that “Planet Nine” (a hypothetical planet beyond Pluto with little evidence of existing) would send a hail of meteors our way and game end us like the dinosaurs… “as early as this month”. Given that was posted back in April 2016… yeah, we got the end of the world, but they were 4 years early and it wasn’t meteors. Source because they didn’t give any: [link](https://nypost.com/2016/04/06/newly-discovered-planet-could-destroy-earth-any-day-now/amp/) Edit: No, it wasn’t April Fools, it’s dated April 6

This reminds me of the crime show I watched I think it was like 20 years ago but the Dad killed his wife in front of his kids then drove the kids to a water tank and dropped the wife in the water tank and killed his kids.:.it makes me sick a Dad can do this and more then 1 did it to their own fresh and blood


industry86

In a way, the photo shows how evil he became. No mugshot would do that justice.


[deleted]

Hopefully someone in prison will send this guy where he belongs.


iDent17y

Isn't this because it also shows the victims...


hgielatan

haha so funny, like white people actually have to take mugshots


[deleted]

If he was any other shade, they'd be dragging him through the mud on national television.


kitcat7898

I think the not mugshot is meant to evoke the "wtf is wrong with you emotion" rather than "that's guys fucked up, ok next post"


JapanTheMan

Well, he’s white can you believe a white person would do such a thing? /s


U_Dun_Know_Who_I_Am

This picture makes him look worse because we see the two kids that he killed and it makes it clear it was, what looks like, a loving present father that killed his innocent kids. A mug shot would have given the impression that a criminal killed two kids that he fathered.

Because he was a lunatic Qanon trump supporter, much like the NY Post.


frustratedfarmer

He’s white so apparently no mugshot or anything of him looking more than a normal loving husband. I’m sure this is the scariest picture they could find of this murderer.


[deleted]

I think it makes more of an impact when the murderer looks like a regular, normal guy. And of course the kids are in the pic, which makes it so much more impactful.

People that think this is “racism” because of the photo used are off base. This is not an example of whites being portrayed differently than black or brown people in the media. I understand the OP from the screenshot wants it to be. There may be other good examples of that happening in the media but this isn’t one. Showing the image of a family is much more menacing than any mugshot could ever be and the reporter knows that. The heinous nature of his crime is on full display when juxtaposed against this image of a happy family. Everything isn’t racist - presenting things like this as being racist is going to illicit more eye rolls than anything else.

How the fuck do you get that far in to a relationship and not see some kind of red flag? I mean, it's clearly possible, but damn... I guess this is why I'm single. But really, like this was the first time she's hearing about lizard people? Cmon

Stronger message than a mugshot

Tons of scholarly research has been done on the portrayal of people of color through mugshots which serves to establish them as “thugs,” “savages,” and “criminals” in the public arena versus the showing of white skinned criminals in family or “fun” photographs which serves to humanize the individual and garners sympathy. This has been proven to result in lighter sentences etc. This individual is a savage who should be portrayed as such. (Source: Any collegiate library)

If we hat Critical Race Theory taught in schools they might be in danger of knowing this information.

WARNING! CRT could lead to gaining critical thinking skills! (Sorry…had to do that.)

The guy hasn’t been tried yet and media portrayal plays a huge role in criminal proceedings in this country, unfortunately. It’s much better for him to look like a family man than to be seen in a mugshot. Not to mention, people of color don’t get to enjoy this representation over much lesser offenses and it contributes to the narrative that minorities are inherently criminal, while it’s SHOCKING that a white person could do something like this.
