    “No motive” is gonna get worn out in the coming weeks. The lesbian teen in Illinois; Jonathan Joss; this? All completely random.

      These kids are really young, I mean where does an eight year old get the idea and motivation to do this? The twelve year old probably egged the others on, but still this is such an intense crime for such young ages

        Even a twelve year old would normally not have the means to plan such an attack. Researching how to do it, getting the acid, actually going through with the plan – that sounds suspiciously like someone older planning it and having the children execute the attack because they’ll face more lenient penalties from the law IMO.

          When I was 12, I released chlorine gas into my room in the process of trying to make oxidiser for rocket fuel and also did a bunch of other stupid shit that could have maimed or killed me. Don’t underestimate kids.

    Life in prison. I don’t care how old they are. Life in prison. This is a hate crime and terrorism plus we don’t need to give ideas to the dumb fucks who live in this country…

      I’m sorry, but you disgust me.

      Edit: Yeah, I checked the article, these are children aged 8-12. I had some awful fluffing opinions at that age too, even if I never would have committed an act like this.

        I’ll take the down votes for this, the feeling is mutual.

        The sociopathic kids who cut up neighborhood pets, inflict life long injuries on other people, burn down homes for fun, rape little girls cause voices said so, can all rot in a hole.

        Anyone who cries that ‘oh they didn’t know better’ or ‘oh it’s how they’re raised’ or any other excuse can fuck right off.

        No place in society, and I’d happily throw all the fuckers who defend them in the same hole.

        That kinda sanewashing of bullshit behavior is why we get the fucking shit we do.

        Sociopathic cunts need to be held to account by society, and so do the parents, neighbors and friends who empower them.

          I’m not excusing their behaviour. I just don’t believe in punishment over rehabilitation. These are 8-12yo and I choose to believe that they aren’t irredeemable or that they are incapable of learning better. If that makes me naïve then so be it, I’d rather be naïve than carry that sort of hate in my heart as well.

            I don’t hate them, or you. I’m being pragmatic. Them, and the people who sanewash and excuse their behavior are the enablers of this, and are inherently irredeemable.

              It’s kind of hilarious that you’re using a term coined from discussions on defunding the police while simultaneously promoting the prison system. I’m not excusing their heinous behaviour, I just also don’t believe an eight year old that hasn’t come close to developing an adult level of reasoning should be put in prison for life. But whatever, keep making excuses for your disgusting opinions.
