Basically, some religious nutjob threatened (although it doesn't sound like a threat to me) the creators of South Park for depicting the "prophet" Muhammad... in a bear suit, which (SPOILER ALERT) turns out to actually be Santa.
However, the article repeatedly mentions certain interests of his:
"He was very into violent industrial music, borderline Satanic bands and stuff like that. He had dark undertones in his interests."
...there were "dark overtones in his interests" for years...Okay were they overtones or undertones, Fox?
Chesser's interests -- hardcore industrial music, Goth and Satanic materials -- appear to have translated "pretty well to violent extremism," the classmate said.
Okay, last time I checked, Muslims hate Satan, too. This article manages to suggest that Muslims are Satanic. Furthermore, it doesn't bother to suggest any sort of reason why he became radical other than suggesting that violent industrial music and Satan are somehow linked to it. How about investigating how exactly it is he became brainwashed by religious extremists? No?
And correct me if I'm wrong here, but he hasn't commited any violence yet. He's not a violent extremist, just an extremist.
I also noticed they spelled Muhammad different ways within the article.
Bonus tidbit:
She said she will maintain more of a distance from the Chessers now, "because we're Christians…. It's kind of sad that American people are falling into this. It's sad that he would be influenced to try to hurt people."Right, because Christians would never do things like this.
