(89,248 posts)3. i think his brother convinced him they would not get caught
him going back to school and even partying seems to point to this. i think even his brother might have thought they would not get caught. they could continue to live their lives while carrying out attacks without getting caught.
there have been comments about them having expensive things but questions about where they got money. his brother may have bought him things as a way to get him to do what he wanted .
but whatever the case was, he was still willing to kill innocent people including little children for his own selfish reasons.
also if he could go back i think maybe he would not do it again. but only because he got caught. not because he feels bad and has any regrets about killing innocent people.

This is why life in prison is a harsher punishment than execution (which I oppose in all cases).
