    Tragic for the victims at least.

    I draw the line before sympathy for premeditated murder. No apologies.

      I don’t think he murdered anyone, actually. Just ran them over, hospitalizing the 80 year old. In fact we don’t even know the other related incidents involved running anyone over, I guess, though that was my assumption. The article is light on the details.

      Anyway the kid didn’t have to kill himself.

        I read the article and, respectfully, I’ll disagree. Three incidents, a proffered confession and a suicide. Sometimes the circumstantial evidence adds up. Too bad for the victims, hey?

        Listen: I’m not a sentimental type, but where sick people are struggling I’m all for making ALL of the help available. Where sick people lash out outside of treatment, criminally, I say the system failed and actions have consequences. You can’t be subjective here, or you lose the thread in the decision tree.

        Gentle with the down votes, friends, I already know I’m the asshole here.

          Yours is a valid opinion and you’re not being an asshole here, even if I don’t agree with you. If I thought you were I’d downvote, but I don’t think so.
