| > After a 2022 mass shooting, Adams opined that society leaves parents of troubled teenage boys with only two options: to either watch people die or murder their own son. That's something. |

At worst, he sees a tragic binary option where others see better and more. Some of his other public statements, sure, but this one? | | |
| ▲ | thinkingtoilet 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It's typical right wing "boys will be boys" mentality. Under no circumstance should boys or men be held accountable for their actions. The only options for boys with issues is to let them kill people or kill them. It's simply not possible the parents are doing something wrong or that we hold young men accountable. It contributes to how extremely fragile a scary percentage of young men are these days. Everything must revolve around them or violence is expected and understood. It's all this and much more from him. | | |

| > Later (incorrect) predictions repeatedly featured in Politico magazine's annual lists of "Worst Predictions", including that one of Trump, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden would die from COVID-19 by the end of 2020,[98] that "Republicans will be hunted" if Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election > In a 2006 blog post, Adams asked if official figures of the number of deaths in the Holocaust were based on methodologically sound research. Jesus christ. |
