Lots of kids are abused but don’t kill their parents and siblings. All he had to do was walk away. Now he’ll never know freedom.

We’ll never know, WILL WE? the kid murdered his parents and siblings. The article is filled with derogatory slants against the parents, proving this is a crap story and shameful to those perpetuating it

Justification of mass murder.

Wow, no offense, but you’re a complete idiot. Do you want the newspaper (the NY Post is a known right-leaning publication, btw) to NOT tell you what the defendent’s lawyers are submitting to the courts? Do you want them to lie and tell you they submitted a defense that you can agree with? How weird.

So the victims are to blame?

>“A common theme that has been expressed amongst extended family, neighbors, and those who knew the Humistons is that the children were isolated from the outside world and did not engage socially with many peers..."<

Translation: The gossips in the neighborhood and in the family have spoken.

On the other hand...

>Even the boy’s maternal grandmother sided with him, telling attorneys that Sarah Humiston “was abusive and demeaning to the children.” The woman allegedly told cops she had previously threatened to report the Humiston parents if their abuse did not stop.<

The parents can't speak in their own defense. But, even if they were physically abusive, this teen murdered his siblings, too, and tried to blame his murdered brother. Thankful one child survived... but wishing they all did.
