[XemaSab]

The body of a popular Massachusetts teacher who police say was killed by one of her students was found in the woods, naked from the waist down and with her throat slit and a note that read, "I hate you all," according to court documents released Friday.

According to the documents, surveillance video showed Chism putting on gloves and with a hood over his head as he followed Ritzer into a bathroom. The documents say he brought a box cutter, mask, gloves and multiple changes of clothing to school the day Ritzer was killed.

She was reported missing when she never returned home from school. Her body was found in the woods, partly covered in leaves, and police said it appeared to be sexually positioned. Authorities say she had been sexually assaulted with a stick.

1. lock that monster away and toss the key. nt

[Decaffeinated]

2. Shame that the death penalty isn't an option...

The person who did this should never be a part of open society again...

[Capt. Obvious]

5. If only my state had more blood thirsty vengeance minded people like you

we could put children to death.

[Decaffeinated]

10. Just the rapists and murderers...

[Capt. Obvious]

11. Aim high

There's a whole range of criminals that you could be fantasizing about being put to death.

3. How does a 14 year old get that twisted?

Boggles the mind.

[littlewolf]

16. that is what bothers me so much.

was he doing drugs, is there a chemical imbalance in his brain, what
is it that would drive a 14 year old to do this?

[whathehell]

4. The note saying "I hate you all" is strange, since he seemed to be well-liked by his classmates..

Guess the scumbag didn't reciprocate.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. He'd only been in town for a month or so.

Nobody really knew him.

[whathehell]

19. It's my understanding that he had been there long enough for his soccer team to be looking for him..

He was supposed to be an excellent soccer player -- His team said they considered him "family".

6. so sad, that poor teacher.

[nolabear]

7. Something terrible had hold of that boy.

The horror is almost too much to comprehend. He's broken, very badly broken.

[geek tragedy]

8. He planned the entire thing. This was malice, and evil.

Serial killers like Ted Bundy and Dahmer are often driven by psychosexual pathologies. That appears to be the case with this kid.

They need to keep his ass locked up one way or another.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Evil, absolutely evil.

This monster isn't even close to being human.

[geek tragedy]

13. quite the contrary--only humans are capable of this evil.

No other species known to exist in the universe is capable of evil like this.

[Ranchemp.]

15. Yep.

And I'm of the firm belief that the police stopped a serial killer in the making, the staging of the body, the taking of personal items, the slashing of the throat, all hallmarks of a serial killer, this 14yo deserves to never see another day of freedom and the public deserves to be protected from him.

Charged as an adult? It's definitely warranted. Life in prison if convicted? Absolutely.

17. Many carnivorous and omnivorous species engage in murder and sometimes cannibalism

Humans are perhaps uniquely "evil" in the sense that they have an understanding of what they are doing and could choose to do otherwise.

[HappyMe]

12. It takes my breath away that

somebody so young is capable of planning and carrying out such horror.

[Lex]

18. Me too. At 14 I could barely find my homework or

where I left my shoes last or what I wanted for an after-school snack, much less have anything of this scale in my head. I can't even fathom it.
