He sure sounds like a kid, to me, too, Ivan.

But this sort turns into murderous, at least violent adults.

He must have some incredible rage at one or both parents. They are clearly doing an inadequate job for him to be getting away with this.

A real sad commentary on the state of the family in our beleagured Republic, it seems to me.

But this kid needs dealt with fiercely and his parents, too. This kind of rage doesn't just leak off and go away.

It tends to build with interest and branch out in waves of increasing mayhem and pain.

I'm not sure it is a kid. I think it against the "teenage" law to be awake at this hour. ;-)

He's probably the type who isn't too bright and gets bullied at school for being a bit of a thickie. He'd like to shoot his peers, but he isn't intelligent enough to figure out how to operate a gun. He'd become an Islamist, but that would require him reading the Koran, and he has difficulty with comic books. He'd join the Army, but he wouldn't even make good cannon fodder. He has a lifetime of scrubbing toilets, rubbing his nose with Clearasil to no effect and the monthly arrival of "Hustler" magazine to look forward to, until the day he dies and he achieves his true purpose in life - as fertiliser.

Regards, Ivan
