Isn't this a perfect example of liberalism at its worst? The kid had everything, yet he had nothing.

It is that. The kid had everything he didn't need, and nothing he did need. I'm not perplexed at all that he ended up throwing his lot in with the barbarians. He likely grew up in a moral vacuum, and something had to fill it. We see what that turned out to be. Its sad, but not surprising.

Agreed. Kids are happier and more secure when they know they have limits and bounderies. This kid had nothing. But I still think that he should be eliminated.
