I worked my way thro some of the youtubes.
He likes gaming, perfectly normal.
I see a kid (men's puberty develops later than women's, so I will still call him pubescent, I see a kid playing around in many roles, sometimes playing at being a class clown tho that is not truly his basic personality. Could be a coping mechanism/development from living in an alcoholic family.
He does speak of drinking with some regularity but seems to eschew liquor.
He can't sing, but he tries. so what? The cover P & Q was decent but it was the only one imo. He's horrid at rapping, but there are tons of young men who want to be rappers and they imitate the vulgarity. I don't make too much of that, other than his complete lack of talent.
It did interest me that in one he talked about biting and Mike Tyson. That interested me very much, as it has been my belief that a drug cannot be solely responsible for the biting going on. It has to be somewhere in your subconscious or unconscious in the first place.
As with a brutally honest diary, we are going to find socially unacceptable or upsetting things, just most of us sublimate it. And it doesn't define us.
Something happened to Austin. He was not a deplorable young man so how did it come to pass that he did the depraved and exceptionally brutal crime that killed 2, injured 1, maimed a dying man and has presumably permanently lost his mind and left so many lost & grieving?
Dad did updates early on under the presumption that this would precede to a legal matter. He has no reason to speak publicly about it now.
Austin can't stay in the ICU indefinitely. With HIPPA, we may not know any change in status.
We will get a brief statement when the tox screen comes in and then we may not hear more, unless Austin dies.
verreaction: No kidding?
