He's a Texan. That's why.

But he lives in Sugar Land, Texas, which is really the least 'Texan' part of Texas (stereotypically speaking).

It just happens, sometimes. Some people were just born to not give a fuck.

Sometimes there is no reason, there is no big answer lying in wait, sometimes people do horrible things because they can and no other reason than that. They can be given the world and all its treasure, and still won't be enough for them.

Just because nothing traumatic happens to a person, doesn't mean they're going grow up to be sane and reasonable people. A lot of murderers and sociopaths aren't loners or even come off as disturbed in the slightest, some of them even came from good loving homes. Sometimes people are as @Someone said born to not give a fuck.

idk if its too soon to say but, Itachi Uchina lives in Texas??

also final video was very cute

Human brain development is pretty much stohastic. You can increase someone's chances of acquiring a certain way of thinking, but they will never be 1. In the production process of what the society refers to as normal humans, there are still many imperfections and unknown factors.

I find this video is very essential to this topic, with perhaps the exception of the first 40 seconds of it.

@Maudia @eterno

Its called the bad seed theory

A basic beilf or idea that some are just born demented with no chace for help its way more complicated than that though meeeeeeeeh im not the person who studys this crap so what do I know

lol. did tman just make that shit up? There is no such thing as "normal." Just shades of oddity.

For any who lives by the sword should die by the sword. I don't think it is ethical/moral (whatever the fuck that is "defined" by society) to let a murderer be excused of direct murder. Murderers should be disposed of immediately with enough proof to find him/her guilty.

Bumping this up again. Since we just had a delightful thread about Death Penalty by @CloudVariasKira , this made me think about this case again.

So anyway, the guy is not dead yet! He still has the federal appeal to go through even though it's been 9 years. Now here's the BIG question:

Why should we kill him?

Okay, so it was justified back in 2003 because it's the law and all that but now think about it: What does killing him actually accomplish now? That the law is upheld?

OK, the law, since it's the USA and all, the position of Death Penalty varies even within the country itself. Does this mean the dignity of the law is questioned if he's not killed?

Another thing that I'm concerned the most however is his dad. You kids here might not think about this that much but seriously, this is HIS ONLY KID LEFT. He's certainly NOT going to make another just because this one's getting killed. Proof? How about nine years of trying to save this one instead of procreating?

OK so you might say, so what? Well, you see, when people lose someone they love, they get really sad. Feeling sad is not a nice experience. Now, the state is going to make him lose his only surviving family member...

Man, this case is really grey as fuck. So you killed your family who loves you so much who would really hate to lose you. But you failed to kill one and now he's going to lose YOU after losing everyone else.

Anyway, it's unlikely he won't get killed but I must ask this: Are you going to be proud of yourself, Texas? You're going to destroy a man's life after he's had one destroyed before.

But of course, here's another, so what if Bart is spared? Commuted to life perhaps? Alright, but that doesn't actually impress me yet.

Here's the thing: What is the purpose of punishment? What do you expect from it? Revenge? Justice?

I myself am not against death penalty but rather I'm taking the situational approach to it. I could agree that killing serial murderers might solve the problem and serve 'justice'. This one, I agreed, no really, I really did. But after 9 FRIGGIN' YEARS? Okay, seriously...

Anyway, I don't know. What do you guys think about this? I know I said I didn't want to ask whether or not he deserved it but now I'm having Nightmares about it. I thought my position was solid but I guess even I could learn to forgive even the most heinous act.

delightful

@eterno not really how id put it.

He watched Naruto and wanted to be like Itachi.

But in all seriousness, he is probably truly honest when he says he doesn't know. Maybe it was on a sudden whim to see if he could do it(To test his abilities(Itachi))? I will have to think on this.

I see the problem; the dad called his son a little nerd like a minute and a half into the first video. Scarred him for life, I bet; can't call a Texan kid a nerd and not expect repercussions!

Obviously that pair of bunny ears in the first video. You don't make your son wear those shit, man. Poor kid probably found out about all the wrong reasons why his parents would even own a pair. Must have been absolutely detrimental for his mentality when he realized the truth.

he actually had a big brocon issue so he killed his entire family to cover it up :/
