I had no intention to be insensitive.
They the heart wants what it wants so obviously for this young man her rejection was the final straw.
But as I am a male and try as I do, I often am oblivious to the sensitivities of women. Please explain where I went over the line.
Men turning violent when rejected goes back to the dawn of time.
Not sure how old you are, but it seems you know very little about love or women.
I never thought I’d say something like this on FR, but I have way more respect for
B-HO than I do for this VanDeDick child. Wow.
I agree.
As if looks can be rated and used to justify what this sicko did.
“in 20 years, she will be fat, wrinkled, or forgettable.”
And so will you, most likely. Men never think it happens to them, which is dillusional. And annoying.
Not sure he would fall into “millennial” category, so I just call the ones who are currently still in school, “The Last Generation”.
If she’d said yes, would he have only killed nine?
It wasn’t politic, but maybe she couldn’t think of any other way to make it stick than making the entire class her witness.
He is also eligible for parole at some point.
Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that mandatory sentences of life without the possibility of parole are unconstitutional for juvenile offenders.
And anyhow, most jilted lovers don’t murder. He was a vengeful kook.
I dont disagree with your point. But it was, and is, a completely ineffective strategy. But we are dealing with teenagers here, their brains have not solidified yet.
Agreed. And she didn’t have the skills yet to handle it. Humiliating him in front of his peers was the absolute worst option. I dont blame her, these are all teenagers we are talking about here, she didn’t deserve to die. The culture is out of control.
Even yet, the most common result would be for the rejected one to go off moping, maybe even to a different school. How often does this result in murder? I bet there were other “cries for help” that the supposedly sensitive set simply missed.
Though this guy didn't just murder one person, he murdered ten. So he's getting life regardless, because even if the judge were to give him only twenty years per dead victim, that'd still be 200 years.
Oh no, she did the worst thing she could do to him: Humiliate him in front of his peers.
He did not deserve that and he took that as a form of social death in his limited world (the school). He could never walk the hallways of that school again without the stares of ridicule and howls of laughter at him. He was finished there. Should he have left her alone and sucked it up? Yes, of course that instead of killing ten people but his emotional reaction to her public humiliation of him was more than he could bear psychologically.
She did not deserve to die, for any reason.
