I felt like I was cleaning up a mess. Not like spilled food, not like vomit, not even like…not even like diarrhea. The worst mess possible. And I was stuck with it…They weren’t human. I don’t see them as human. I see them as vermin. Social mistakes, social problems.
These are the words of a killer shortly after he committed his crime. His victims

I can't understand anyone supporting Team Murdering Old Man or Team Piece of Shit Kids.

There is a third option, Team Society, our team - and our team just got a little stronger by removing 3 people who have/had no regard for the life of their fellow citizens, fellow humans.

I know it seems natural to pick a side, jump to the left or right without thinking, but I can't bring myself to support either side. Good riddance to the 3 of them.

o: I can't understand anyone supporting Team Murdering Old Man or Team Piece of Shit Kids.

I can't understand equating what those kids did with what that man did.

That is a disgusting comment. I've seen not one shred of evidence that those two kids had "no regard for the life of their fellow citizens." Do you truly equate breaking into a presumably empty house with setting up a trap and gunning down two kids?

Did you listen to the audio?

Equating....

You think shooting someone with a gun and killing them is bad, and I agree.

Stealing someones medicine is also bad.

Seems like apples and oranges, but depending on the medicine - it could be apples and apples, it could be the same end result, one is just bloodier.

Your comparison would only be comprable if those two kids had taken someone's live-saving medication with the express intent of watching causing their victim's death, taunted their victim, gloated as they watched their victim die, and then recorded a rambling, vindictive 20 minute rant of venom and self-justification.

If he was capable of setting up a situation where he could kill them, then why couldn't he just as easily set up a situation where they could have been trapped in his basement or a room of his house until the cops could come arrest them? He said he feared for them having weapons, but the way he killed them sounds awful and like a predator. He should go to jail for life. What he did doesn't even remotely sound like self-defense, so it's just murder.

That's why he was convicted. There are ways to deter B&E without resorting to setting up a literal death trap.

[moonshaz]

EXACTLY!

[yes_justice]

His mistake seems to have been to record the incident. I think without that chilling audio, there would be more sympathy for his case.

[kylinrouge]

I shudder to think what the dialogue would be if he planned this out better.

[mikeyxw]

His lawyer would have told him to shut up and we would have been left with two burglars who got shot by a homeowner. I doubt anyone would be discussing it.

[kylinrouge]

Forensics could've partially pieced together what happened.

What is it people say around here? Freedom of expression = / = freedom from the repercussions?

[kylinrouge]

I like the idea that he was so brainwashed by gun fanatic / property is god ideology that he believed he could do whatever he wanted to trespassers.
