Oh come on... You can't honestly look at his stats and pretend he's just some kind of punk that made a couple bad decisions in his life.

His inability to fully evaluate the consequences of his actions wasn't because he was just some child learning the difference between right and wrong, it was because he was a psychopath. He knew what he was doing, he just didn't care. And being a psychopath doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a sadistic asshole either, there are plenty of full functioning psychopaths out there that are non-violent. This kid made his choice:

I'm not even gonna to get into how irrelevant your bible story is.

It seems many have misunderstood my comment and intention.

In a way it is good that he's dead. It is a form of justice for his crimes, and he will not threaten anyone anymore. He also will not be around to become a more corrupted and more evil person who would do even more damage to people and society. The thing I was criticizing was to REJOICE over his death. If this little guy had tried to rape or murder my family I'd have beat the shit out of him, want him prosecuted for his crimes, but I would then try to get him some help. This isn't a religious matter, and it isn't about "bleeding hearts", and it isn't about PC ("fake concern"), it is a matter of humanity.

The moment we begin to rejoice in the death of another is a day we begin to lose our humanity and our moral center. Society has continued to evolve and grow and develop because humans have a sense of morality.

Both are guilty here: this boy for committing such horrible crimes by ignoring morality, and those who celebrated his death. Note I said "celebrate", I did not say that we shouldn't be grateful nor that he didn't deserve it. I am grateful he's gone, and I believe it was justice. But I'm not going to celebrate the death of another person.

Yes, at 14 many of us understood the difference between right and wrong simply because we have a sense of humanity and morality and had proper upbringing, but unfortunately in violent cultures people are brought up in an environment which does not nurture the development of empathy or understanding of why wrong is wrong, nor the ability to fully understand the full consequences of their actions. A 14 year old doesn't understand what death is. Hell, many ADULTS don't understand the consequences or impact of the death of another person. When I see a 14 year old murderer/rapist I see a messed up individual who had a bad start in life, who has been influenced by bad people, who has not had access to proper training, and who has no future. The easy solution is to wipe him out and just be done with it, but there are people who believe that rehabilitation is a moral and humanitarian thing and I am one of them. Prison sentences are actually based on a form of rehabilitation; after they've served their time they hopefully learned their lesson and are given the chance to start their life over again with a clean slate.

If the guy was 50 years old my opinion might be a little different, but at 14 he was just a baby and needed the proper love, guidance, and instruction to set him straight. The whole situation is sad for everyone concerned.

I seriously doubt this kid has even had his first consensual sexual experience, let alone 8 successful rapes.

I mean look at him....seriously, he's the size of a fuckin mosquito.
Someone else's criminal background has been melded with his. Whether it was done on purpose or not is anyone's guess, but I personally wouldn't believe half the shit written in those news sources.

Just my opinion.

Nice 8 ball hemorrhage. If his mouth is split as it looks he may have been sucking on the barrel when the trigger was pulled either by himself or police.
Either way he was damaged goods and would have caused grief wherever he went for the rest of his life.

He received the 'tax-payer relief shot'

Bye bye fucker

14yo, course he knows and understands what he's doing. No excuses are valid against his crimes.

[Sisteskrik]

He was not even worth the bullets that stopped his worthless heart.
