How come all the wackos live in my state.

Because it is the Buckeye State... and we all know what a "buckeye" is, right???

BTW, I have family in the area and almost moved to one of the Cleveland suburbs. I'm originally from Erie, so I can have a little fun.

I think he gave a good answer there. He is not crazy today, but it doesn't mean he won't go nutz tomorrow and start shooting.

He should have got life.

Being under 18 should have no bearing on his sentence, neither should his parents or his video games. He did it. That's it.

Yes and no. Yes, he killed his parents out of some stupid anger or what not. And he obviously needs some helps in the head... yet, I am a second-chance kind of guy. He is just too young to be locked up forever, man. As stupid as it might sound, he might realize what he had done one day and become a changed man in a few years.

This kid needs so serious help

Another perfect example of how noone is responsible for their own actions any more. At least not entirely. There's always someone or something else that can and will be blamed for what you did. What a joke. I'm all for execution, as he clearly planned this ahead of time.

I'd recommend frying him, but I don't think that state has the death penalty.

Yes we do and it's to bad he will not have a date with the needle.

Judge needs help himself.

The kid will run you over and then they'll let him off because he thought you were an elite and he was trying to squish you with his warthog... Damn covenant..... Always taking our parking spaces

Yes and yes. He should be locked up forever because he killed 2 people. If he becomes a changed man, he is still a changed man that killed 2 people.

Maybe this would fly if he was 6, but 16? Let genpop deal with this idiot.
