New Mexico homeschooled teen Nehemiah Griego accused of murdering family, planned to keep killing at local Walmart

It could have been even worse.

The New Mexico teen accused of gunning down his younger siblings, his mom and his pastor father reportedly planned on continuing his killing spree at a local Walmart.

Nehemiah Griego, 15, had loaded up his family van with "several" guns that he intended to use to slaughter customers at the nearby shopping center, the Albuquerque Journal reported Monday.

Griego hoped to die in a shootout with cops, sources told the paper.

But he was talked out of the plan by a friend, who convinced him over the phone to meet him at his father’s church, the paper said.

1. Religion and guns. One need not say more.

[mikeysnot]

3. But, but we need MORE GOD in our lives...

and this would never had happened....

[Bucky]

6. Well, bringing him to a church did seem to stop the shooting

[mikeysnot]

8. Ohh good, the family is still alive then.

maybe these shootings are all pretend then and we are all imagining them.

Obviously the work of Satan!

[Bucky]

10. Don't be daft.

I'm sorry that every single fact in this tragedy didn't match up to your stereotypes. A family is dead. A bigger shooting was prevented. Try not to sound so disappointed.

[mikeysnot]

13. Guns and God

Hail Satan!

9. what does religion have to do with a suicidal young man planning a mass shooting?

What did it have to do with the most recent mass shootings?

[Whovian]

11. Religion.

And the strange decryption that many attribute to it.

2. Awful, terrible. Would like to know more about this whole family.

4. interesting added info at the bottom of the linked article

Neighbors said they’d often seen Nehemiah walking around in Army fatigues. Local media said the home schooled teen wasn’t allowed to play video games, and that his family never let him watch violent shows on television

7. The repig FAIL recipe for all bad habits/tendencies

"We'll use abstinence as the method to cure EVERYTHING! 'Just Say No' worked really good!"

12. The oldest kid of the fundies across the street has all the hallmarks of a disturbed kid

Too hostile to get along with his peers, so Momma is home schooling him.
Loves to wear fatigues and talks about shooting small animals since age 6.." I hate those rabbits"
So the parents gave him a BB gun 2 years ago...duh.
Bullies his younger siblings. Very angry, almost always scowling, never seen him laugh or smile in the last 7 years.

I just hope when he does go off he doesn't head for our house.

And of course there is nothing anyone can say to the parents. Preacher Daddy is a know it all ( gosh, wonder where the kid got that from?) and wears his religion in neon lights, LOVES being the preacher, very egotistical about it.
Mommy is a walking anxiety attack, defers to daddy.
4 kids, working on more.

14. they should have let him play the games

but locked up the real guns.

[Bucky]

5. All of this tragedy could have been prevented if his parents had been armed...

oh wait...

[louis-t]

15. OK, I speculated the guns were owned by his parents.

According to the article, at least one of them was.
