I don’t think the movie caused the focus and obsession with killing. I think this kid’s focus and obsession with killing caused him to watch those types of movies.
Now he’s throwing himself on the mercy of the court because he’s a an orphan (sniff).
Guns don’t kill people—Movies kill people! Ban Movie Violence!
I fail to see what purpose is served by keeping him alive.

A predisposition to violence (whether obvious or not in this case), plus a trigger, equals murder.
Little $#!+s like this are why the courts should allow execution of “youthful offenders.”
Preferably a long, painful (but not unusual) death - like burning to death. Prep him for hell.
Same here, I have two younger sisters, we always tooth and nail, of course now we don’t, but the idea of killing my family I can’t even fathom.
Evil is well at work, those that say there is no spiritual warfare going on are blind.
correction *we always fought tooth and nail*
“But it is interesting to note that the idea, and the subsequent motivation, for killing his family came from a Hollywood film. No movie, no murders.”
Nonsense. Millions of people watched that movie, and we do not have millions of murders like this because of it. Obviously, the movie is not driving people to kill. This kid already had a notion to do this before he watched the movie, whether he put that in his confession or not.
Exactly. But we are not allowed to blame crazy individuals. The kid obviously has some serious mental issues, with this kind of cold-blooded premeditated killing of those closest to him. I cannot fathom the thinking process that went on in his head that lead to this.
The libs are always looking to place blame somewhere else, so here is a golden opportunity for them to blame Hollywood...one murder is one too many, according to the gun grabbers, so then surely their own logic applies to them? This case shows the absurdity of seeking to blame anything but the individual.
