"The things he had with him -- how can that be?" Madrid said. "For a kid that young to be thinking those kinds of things ... what's going on in his home?"

Probably watching a lot of TV without the supervision of a responsible adult.

I find it interesting that he bothered to include a condom in his hostage/rape/suicide/beer and crackers kit.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No mention of psychtropic medication, but I bet he was on something.

[hsmomx3]

The first thing that comes to my mind: Was he on Ritalin?

[BrooklynGOP]

...condoms...

What did he need condoms for?

Yes, why bother with a condom?

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

The boy's backpack was loaded with handcuffs, condoms, an undisclosed sexual device, a bottle of Michelob beer, ham and crackers -- all intended to help him carry out the plot, Williamson said.

OK...I get everything but the ham and crackers. ;)

I've got PETA on line 5. They want to know where he got the ham.

It is an excellent question that the girl's parent asks. It indicates that her father (as all of us should) finds this kind of premeditated evil to be unthinkable - especially within a child of 12. Would that all the world could still be shocked by the depths to which our culture has sunk.

Let's cross these two posts and see what kind of monster we can create

Porn Kills

Only if you are able to identify the source of both cases. Go ahead, Damocles....search for the truth. You'll find it is the heart of man which is deceitfully wicked.....

His future career in the American political scene seems off to a good start.

Could not agree more. The depths of depravity to which the human mind can descend is truly frightening.

My thoughts too.

Come to think of it, that beer had to have been hot. That little b@st@rd must really be sick.

[FroedrickVonFreepenstein]

At least it shows the sex ed in school is working. </sarcasm>

A President, or a mere Senator?

[Frohickey]

The boy was described by Capilla as a loner who was infatuated with the girl. She ignored his attempts to become romantically involved, the principal said.

I think that if I have a daughter, and some boy is romantically interested in her, I would tell her to tell the boy that he needs to go see her dad first.

I would then proceed to make it conditional to 'dating' my daughter that he would have to do various odd jobs for me. I'm sure that someone would have to be willing to go diving in the sewer tank to show their love for my daughter. ;)

Wouldn't it be swell if such a possibility was unthinkable? Impossible, or at least extremely unlikely?

True. Sad, but true. The crackers and ham bit indicates he thought it would take some time...

The only saving thing about this entire scene is the fact we are reading about it being intercepted.

That's one sick puppy.
