Ohio shooter’s parents apologise for ‘insensitive’ obituary
BBC ^ | 08/15/2019

Posted on 08/15/2019 6:52:05 PM PDT by BenLurkin

The family of the Dayton, Ohio shooter have apologised for releasing an "insensitive" obituary that fails to mention the "terrible tragedy".

Connor Betts, 24, was a "funny, articulate and intelligent man", the tribute said.

The killing of his sister and eight others in a shooting on 4 August was not acknowledged.

Conner & Koch, a funeral home in Bellbrooke, Ohio, posted the obituary to its website on Tuesday.

A separate obituary posted on the website for their 22-year-old daughter, Megan - who was among her brother's victims - did not mention the shooting either. Friends of Megan say she identified as male and went by the name Jordan Cofer, according to US media reports.

What did the obituary say?

"A funny, articulate and intelligent man with striking blue eyes and a kind smile, Connor Stephen Betts, age 24, of Bellbrook, passed away Sunday, August 4th, 2019," the obituary said.

He was an avid reader, enjoyed swimming, was a Boy Scout, was in his high school marching band, played Xbox games and loved watching the Fox animated show "Bob's Burgers", the posting said, according to US media reports.

He "will be missed immensely by his friends, family, and especially his good dog Teddy" the tribute said.

The times are indeed insane when we are expected to accommodate delusions.

Pretty obvious that his parents were part of the problem.

How sad.

Outstanding job of parenting by their parents.

So not only was their damn son a vapid Satanic murderer (and probably a sodomite), but their daughter was a tranny as well?

Those parents should face felonies for dumping their dysfunctional family filth on innocent people and society.

Insane!

That was the gun's fault.

The family might all be complete loons, but the description sounds like a parent’s memory of what their child was like 6 to 10 years prior to going off the deep end. Being in denial helps people cope, but it also evades responsibility for failing to stop a rotten teen from turning into a mass murderer.

They believe ordinary, conventional life is a delusion, and that reality "forces its delusions" on them every day. This causes them to experience extreme feelings of alienation and unhappiness.

This is also pure bs. Our local media says the police have not been able to verify the transgender rumor. So that’s what it remains, a rumor.
Of course, the leftist media wants to run with it.
Mom and Dad are known to be extreme leftists.
The latest truth: Connor had both alcohol and cocaine in his blood stream at the time of the shooting, as well as anti-depressants.

No, the trans nonsense remains an unverified rumor according to the local police.
