Yes, this kid won't know what happened. dkf Apr 2013 #10

I have a feeling that all of this horror will slowly sink in for him anneboleyn Apr 2013 #28

I think he ran over his wounded older brother on purpose, because he hated him. El Fuego Apr 2013 #57

I think he was trying to get away and would have run over anyone who was there. LisaL Apr 2013 #62

Well said DeadEyeDyck Apr 2013 #65

News said he went in reverse to do it, then fled going forward. El Fuego Apr 2013 #67

Or was he doing him an act of mercy. DeadEyeDyck Apr 2013 #66

Sometimes all you can say is.. RagAss Apr 2013 #3

or: "What the fuck?" Taverner Apr 2013 #59

And I really don't care. LisaL Apr 2013 #4

no, you can't, but I always want to understand the why of things cali Apr 2013 #6

That's ridiculous. Hissyspit Apr 2013 #8

Matters for what, exactly? LisaL Apr 2013 #11

finding out what happened is not the same thing as excusing it. Warren DeMontague Apr 2013 #38

So understanding why someone would do this is pointless? MrModerate Apr 2013 #43

"isn't there a nihilism forum" snagglepuss Apr 2013 #56

yes, a folie a deux situation anneboleyn Apr 2013 #29

He had a crappy brother... dkf Apr 2013 #9

He had a crappy mother too--a felonious shoplifter from Lord and Taylor. MADem Apr 2013 #35

I posted this above, but I would be interested in what you think about JDPriestly Apr 2013 #37

No. I think the brotherly influence scenario is far more likely. MADem Apr 2013 #40

Strange. Like most DUers, I'm such a contrarian that I cannot imagine JDPriestly Apr 2013 #41

speaking as a loner hfojvt Apr 2013 #20

Well he allegedly smoked pot. And this is DU. So he couldn't possibly be bad. LisaL Apr 2013 #21

Some "loners" are naturally solitary people. They don't necessarily winter is coming Apr 2013 #22

Those loners who are rejected/alienated are more accurately called "failed joiners," I think. Nay Apr 2013 #51

I'm sorry. I certainly didn't mean to insult you or others cali Apr 2013 #49

Faith-based religion can make good, sane people do horrible things... MellowDem Apr 2013 #24

Agreed. But is there a fact-based religion somewhere? AnotherMcIntosh Apr 2013 #27

more like his brother was a failure so he turned to religion and other things to deal with it JI7 Apr 2013 #30

Reading his twitter was like reading any other 19yr old twitter.... octothorpe Apr 2013 #31
