Republican presidential candidate and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is deeply troubled by the massacre of Christians at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, last Oct. 1, and he is blaming the shooter's father for failing to raise his son the right way.
"These shootings are a symptom of the deep and serious cultural decay in our society," he said in a blog post entitled "We fill Our Culture With Garbage, And We Reap The Result."
"These acts of evil are a direct result of cultural rot, and it is cultural rot that we have brought upon ourselves, and then we act like we are confounded and perplexed by what is happening here," he said.
Jindal said that evil acts of mass murder have now become "routine," just as President Barack Obama had said, simply because young men have no father figure in their lives, or they suffer from a broken relationship with their father.
This is why he thinks it's ludicrous that the gunman's father is now lecturing the government on the need for gun control, since that is a different matter entirely. The father, who is divorced with the gunman's mother, even bragged about never holding a gun in his life, and that he had no inkling as to how his son obtained the guns he used during the attack. The guns were actually those of his estranged wife, who turned out to be a gun lover.
"Of course he doesn't know," Jindal said. "You know why he doesn't know? Because he is not, and has never been in his son's life. He's a complete failure as a father. He should be embarrassed to even show his face in public. He's the problem here."
"Why didn't he know?" Jindal further questioned, "because he failed to raise his son. He should be ashamed of himself, and he owes us all an apology. When he was asked what his relationship was with his son, he said he hadn't seen him in a while because he lived with his mother. Case closed."
