    At his age, he's still playing shooting games on a game console. Maybe he thought she'd come back to life.

    The girlfriend was dumb to have a boyfriend who would give a kid a gun. That was literally an accident waiting to happen, wasn't it? I mean that takes pure ignorance. Natural selection, though

    As for the child and his father, they should both be sterilized. Can't have them contaminating the rest of the world.

    Eugenics was never really popular... though I tend to forget why...

    When a kid does something truly heinous that kid needs to be punished. Is it fair? Maybe not. Is it fair that the lives of a woman and an unborn child were brought to an abrupt and violent end? Definitely not.

    He won't be tried as an adult. They always start with the worst case charges, and start downgrading. The kid's already been moved to a juvenile facility.
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
