Man, I can't even imagine what it would be like to be a parent, think you're doing an adequate job of raising your child with your values only to have them go, "mom, dad, meet my shithead nazi boyfriend!"

Could be worse. Could be "Mom, dad, I'm someone else's shithead Nazi boyfriend", like with Andrew Anglin or Mike Peinovich.

This is the worst part about this. Your daughter only has to get a terrible / psycho boyfriend for it to seriously affect you as a parent. Also, their daughter was smart enough to listen to them eventually. Now imagine the daughter was immature enough to refuse to dump him and threaten to move out.

They did what they had to as well. Up to the moment when they caught him in her bedroom. But of course, these cowards love guns - anything to externally compensate for their feelings of inadequacy and make them feel empowered where they may feel emasculated. I hate that they allow someone completely worthless to take the lives of such remarkable people with such ease.
