Yeah I don't think Malvo was John Allen Muhammad's lover, more like his brainwashed victim. Doesn't excuse his part in the shootings but the whole gay lovers thing sounds like
.
Years ago Malvo himself said that he was molested by Muhammad. He had nothing to gain from it, wasn't seeking leniency or making some kind of appeal or anything, he just...admitted it. If you know anything about the psychological abuse alone that John subjected him to, it makes sense. But whether you think there was some sexual abusing going on or not, he definitely and
verifiably was beaten, starved and forced to live in homeless shelters with John and had no way out because he was a Jamaican native illegally smuggled in.
He was previously sexually abused by others in the past from a very young age so he'd spent most of his young life being groomed and terrorized by adults at that point. It wasn't about "letting a nikka make him gay", it was about growing up knowing nothing but abuse and dysfunction and thinking foul shyt was "normal" and believing abuse (in various forms) was just a natural part of life and something you had to endure in order to survive.
And if you doubt the level of grooming, brainwashing and abuse Malvo suffered, remember that Muhammad was
never the triggerman and the entire DC Sniper plot was a ruse so that when Malvo eventually murdered Muhammad's ex wife, he wouldn't be a suspect and could regain sole custody of their kids.
