His life from this point on will be as empty and as thankless as Sirhan Sirhan. My sympathy first goes, of course to Kyle’s family, but after that I feel bad for this Eddie Ray Routh’s mother, who was only trying to find help for her adult son.
I do not feel bad for this Eddie’s Uncle, who smoked weed and drank alcohol with him shortly before the killings. Why? This Uncle must have known how sick to the point of being delusional the young man was, plus he may have known that Routh was going to a shooting range soon after. Three people in that one family showed tragically poor judgement on the same day. If my conclusions are wrong, I am sorry, but I believe my presumptions are correct.
Rouths Mommy smoked dope and drank with him too.
She also failed to tell kyle that Routha was institutionalized 6 times and that he had taken family members hostage under threat of death.
