Nov 30, 2008 - that kid needs to be put down! like a sick dog.

Nov 30, 2008 - He wasn't "just playing around". He planned out these killings. He shot them while sleeping, in the back of the head, stopped to reload the gun, and then fired in their heads again. Whether he's 8 or 28, does that sound like an accident to you?

Nov 30, 2008 - Let's break it down:Remember when you were that age? Did you commit any crimes? If not, why not? Answer: you were in mortal fear of the cops, that's why! Unless you were a bully, which is exactly what criminals, be they 8-80 are, and therefore deserve not one ounce of consideration from the very society that they intended to victimize. Also, take in consideration of these "kids' rights" movements that we hear about now. O.K., fine, but with rights come the responsibilities of your actions!

Nov 30, 2008 - The boy warned Child Protective Services that he would not be able to take too many more beatings!Child Protective Services needs to be on trialCan someone please tell me why this child is being demonized? He is guilty of nothing more than being born in the wrong place!What twisted culture would blame this child for protecting himself?!What silly country!

Nov 30, 2008 - just becuz hes 8 doesnt mean he doesnt know what he was doing. he knows that when you aim a loaded gun at someone and pull tha trigger, it will kill someone (or atleast hurt like hell) Hes 8 not innocent.

Nov 30, 2008 - The kid shot TWO people and you think he was just playing with the gun?I hope you're being sarcastic.
UnitedMartialArtsKY Says:
Nov 30, 2008 - Lol!
UnitedMartialArtsKY Says:
Nov 30, 2008 - I concur.
sugarpuddin88 Says:
Nov 30, 2008 - ThaYes!The boy knew exactly what he was doing - And told Child Protective Services that if they didn't help him, then he would have no other choice but to defend himself from the interminable beatings!This child is a hero!Too bad other Americans are too weak to speak up against despots; otherwise Bush & Cheney would be in a Federal Prison!
KickRocksOrSmokem Says:
Nov 30, 2008 - I wont say what he did was right, but for fuck sakes he's 8. Something is AND was definitely wrong here. Do we condemn him as an A-typical murderer or find out what set this child off? The ones who are quick to condemn aren't obviously worthy of God's pity nor forgiveness because it seems their perfect than Jesus. Dont act as if any 8 year old holds the capacity to undertsand thier actions like an adult. Yeah he might knows what a gun is but he doesnt see the ramifications of WHAT HES DONE, cmon

Dec 1, 2008 - we don't know if these kinda things happened forty years ago. Maybe they did, but it just never hit news. I remember that a lot of psycho killing happened during the 50's and sixties. Pedophile rape and etc. Its just that the truth took forty years to uncover.
paigelz04 Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - I would have to disagree. I am sure there were things like this that happened, however I do think cases like this have increased by the HUNDRED THOUSANDS. violence has reached an all time high!!!! but why?
RedOctoberIndustries Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - true again this video could have something to do with god but it doesnt have to
PaleCabbage Says:
Dec 4, 2008 - Why do people keep saying people as old as 8 don't understand the consequences of their own actions? Seriously, they aren't idiots. 8 year olds should be aware that guns kill and that every action has consequences, unless they have some form of mental disorder

Dec 4, 2008 - Blame the show "family guy" for this,the baby stewie is always fantasising of killing his mother and his always wishing hes dad was dead,kids look up to this, be very careful what your shows or movies your kids watch.
ggfre22 Says:
Dec 10, 2008 - i think either he's just an 8 year old who is not going to turn out to be a killer or he maybe enjoyed what he did idk
USMC0613 Says:
Dec 11, 2008 - did he ever say why he did it? i mean, was he pissed at him thinking "im going to point the gun at him b/c then he will go away" or was it a complete accident? please fill me in.
christinalandry Says:
Dec 22, 2008 - The police need to be investigated for coercing the child. I think the police shot the two men and the child is being used as a scapegoat.
supertroop01 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - As a criminal justice administration major, I know for a fact that "coercement", which is exactly what took place, is wrong in every sense of the word. This boy should not be convicted, NOT because of age, because coercement is wrong. I can't believe they are offering a plea deal...his lawyer had better step up to the plate!
