Haha. I love how every gang in that movie has elaborate costumes, but the Orphans are just like “let’s go with green t-shirts”.

I dunno, the baseball furies looked pretty normal to me.

I knew a man years ago who's wife and daughter were killed by his teen son. The son was both drugged up and full of the biological mother's hatred for everything her ex-husband loved (the new wife he married years after the divorce and their new kid).

Much of the hatred stemmed from the father vainly trying to get custody from the mother to keep the son from going down the same path of drugs the mother did. Of course, being a man he didn't get custody. So the boy grew up in the environment of drugs and hatred for all things related to his father. Here in Alabama the state law says the parent who is best for the kids should get custody regardless of the sex of the better parent. But stare decisis says to do what prior courts have done forever --- give custody to the hateful drugged up mother.

Yup. This stuff would stop if we had public hangings and public decapitations. It would be a wake up call that there are consequences to bad behavior.

Sounds like this boy endured way more in 14 years than most normal people do in several lifetimes.

That said, he’s now a menace to society and should be put down like a rabid dog.

How do you kill a 6 month old baby? Sociopath!

You can pretty much guarantee that he was on meds. They always are.

Doesn’t look exactly like I remember, was that a promotional picture, or am I just not remembering the first shot of them...
And I concur, they knew the love that dare not speak its name.

Drugs probably had something to do with it, too (see below).

So now the poor little child is in jail and his parents are in the morgue. Why would the gov separate him from his parents? He should be in the morgue with them.
