Hey, it's just a lifestyle choice, right? /sarcasm off
And we learned nothing from Columbine? Not that there was anything much to do with this kid. Do we know were the parents are?
There's a recent Supreme Court ruling pertaining to this sort of thing, that needs to be revisited.
His attorney will claim kids at school picked on him so it's not his fault.
Someone claimed the guy is a "loner" while an article points out that he was part of a large group. Several times I've seen the term loner used when the perp appeared to be anything but.
Goth is one of the dumbest subcultures around. That said, I doubt being goth had anything to do with this guy killing a woman.
I for the record protest that they protect the perpetrator.
Thanks for the update. What a story - odder every day. I think there is more to the story. What is the connection of DH to this family? (I'm NOT saying DH is behind the killing.) Was this motivated by revenge? Is this family connected to someone else (for example, the Lynch fellow)? A "rage" killing over credit card fraud is a bit over the top. Also, the carving on the back is odd if this killing simply occurred due to the fact that she caught him in the mail box. Usually, the "initiation" killings are planned for that purpose, they're not an afterthought. I wonder if he was on meth at the time of the killing.
By reading that word, I have activated your DNA. You will now send me $100 of your hard-earned cash to help me establish a new foundation in California for remote DNA activation.
I plan to build a 10,000 sq ft ranch retreat, where I will live in tax-free luxury and where you can rent a room for spititual guidance.
William Bonnie, AKA Billy the Kid, didn't blend either.
Homeschool ping.
Sounds like he lived with his hippie mother, a "long-distance healer", in a commune situation out in LaLa Land. Then they wonder why the teens go weird.
A subset of "Goths" is "Emo's". Emo's are "emotionals" -- people who cut themselves. Something's very wrong with our cultural incentives...
Like wow.
I went to HS with a kid who thumbed through still images of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in class every day. No teacher ever talked to him, as far as I know.
Shortly after HS I saw him on his bike dressed in black leather picking up jr. high girls in front of the pizza place.
And the last time I looked he was a Hollywood producer.
What is this "goth" crap?
A shame the young man had no parents, or anybody else who gave a crap about him. But oh well - - hope he dies in prison after a few years of being a boy-toy for the sodomites.
I can tell you this. Kids need the protection of the law. And if I were in charge the law would be this: 1. married but childless can divorce. 2. married with children cannot divorce until the youngest child reaches age of majority. 3. adultry is horrible, working on a punishment for that. In summary, those with kids better find a way to make the marriage work.
I came from a broken home. A broken home implies sick children. I turned out ok. But it was a long nasty journey to ok. The lousy things lousy parents do messes with the minds of children at the deepest levels that can't even be talked about. Crazy children are made that way by their parents. Chemical or physical problems notwithstanding.
