How Do You Raise a Monster? Suburban Kids with Nothing to Lose
from Dead-Eyed Monsters | The Tim Dillon Show #375 · #375
4 min
Tim theorizes about why comfortable suburban kids turn into remorseless killers, contrasting it with kids from rough backgrounds, and discusses parents shielding their children from consequences and possible charges against Gilbert parents.
- Kids from the projects become sociopaths because they have to shut off their feelings just to function in a violent environment.
- Tim contrasts this with suburban kids who randomly attack others and kill them, then get protected by wealthy parents trying to help them escape murder charges.
- His parents never would have shielded him from consequences if he'd murdered somebody, but apparently many people have that kind of relationship with their families.
- Gilbert police recommended charges against juveniles and adults, which could mean they're charging some of the parents with obstruction.
- Tim explains that losing a child never fully heals—parents can build a good life but never fully recover from it.
- People are calling it a race-and-class issue, and while Tim acknowledges it probably happens more often when perpetrators are Black, there should still be justice for this murdered child.
- The Gilbert perpetrators are a squad of marauding Mormons, according to everything written about the case, and they protect their own out in Arizona.
- Citizens are saying the Gilbert police are either corrupt or incompetent at best, and they're doing nothing about the case.
- Tim predicts that when this becomes national news, it will explode into a very big deal and potentially heads will roll with the cops.
