Every single person interviewed that knows the guy says he was a nice kid, never showed any anger or hatred, etc.
I have a feeling he lacked the conviction his brother had, who seems to be the prime perpetrator of this whole mess.
The kid was probably negatively influenced and simply followed his older brother, who may have had the conviction to blow himself up.
Yes exactly what I was thinking when I heard they were brothers and that this kid is only 19–just a sad, tragic situation all around. I don't even know what to hope for from this anymore. I guess it might be helpful to know why, but then again, is there anything that can be done with the information to prevent the next tragedy? Sorry, feeling disheartened despite (or perhaps in the face of) the capture of the young man. I needed something to help, and while this seems to be almost too PollyAnna-ish for this situation, maybe its the everyman who takes the moment to be kind that will be our light in the dark afterall, so with that in mind I give you this, as inadequate as it may be.:
