I'm not surprised here. Who else thinks this kid is gearing up for the insanity plea show of the century? Seems like he's starting out slow, just a few giggles and smiles...next comes the outbursts...

How do you think this will all play out for a trial?

 

He's Evil. Put him to death and give the families a small amount of closure that he can giggle no more.

 

hes giggling because he knows the system is a joke now, run by the libreal judges from the supreme court down

 

Alleged High School Killer Spotted Smiling and Giggling in Jail Cell

"Alleged" my ass.

 

Doubtful. Insanity defenses can be tall orders even when the defendant is a raving schizophrenic. I would think the fact that he had the presence of mind to effect his escape by blending in with the throng of fleeing kids is strong evidence that A) he could calmly concoct or adhere to a post-shooting plan, and B) that his escape plan was, in and of itself, acknowledgement that he knew what he did was wrong.

 

the kid is obviously a very sick individual and needs serious help by professionals.

 

Most folks that think that only do so until it's one of their own family killed, then they want the killers head on a pike.

 

Killing an insane person is murder; if you believe in the hereafter, you'll meet up with your family eventually.

 

What do we do with a rabid viscous dog?

 

Death is the only help for him. It's too late for therapy

 

Why don't they televise executions and why did they outlaw firing squads and guillotines? Wouldn't they be less expensive and I'm sure someone would purchase advertising time during the televised event. That would help pay for the executions.

 

Because the kind of people who would enjoy watching bloody executions will often be the same kind of people who would enjoy shooting up a school. The last thing they need is state-sanctioned encouragement.

 

If you equate human's to animals that is a very sad state of affairs.

 

I disagree; if a family member committed murder and was obviously insane, would you advocate their death??

 

This little worm will be facing the Florida death penalty.

 

I think excess adjudication under the cruel and unusual punishments clause of the Eight Amendment of the Bill Of Rights gave rise to this current present hyper-sensitivity.

We now try to execute in the most painless manner possible.

There is still the terror of the proverbial walk to the death chamber, and being strapped in. No getting around that.

But with the drugs they use to kill criminals these days it is no worse than fixing a tooth ache at the dentist.

 

Wow !!

And here I though my own family had problems ... .

 

He stop smiling once he hits gen pop, and meets is new room mate

 

I'm surprised he's gotten such light sentences. It certainly sounds like he's an incurable case.

I also think that the justice system needs to be more universally aware of people's psychological issues and less guided by the notion of imprisonment changing the prisoner. Such cases need to be dealt with appropriately, so that these people will not reoffend. That might mean death or imprisonment for life, might mean serious treatment to get at the root of the psychological issue. But throwing people with such issues into a cell for several years and then turning them loose again is just irresponsible.

 

Considering what he did, I think he is genuinely insane. I doubt that anything he is doing is some kind of act.

I mean, it takes a seriously disturbed mind to do what he did. You think he has sense enough to elaborately fake insanity? I say he doesn't have to fake it.

Regardless of what happens with a possible insanity plea, I doubt he will ever be free to reoffend anyway, and that is what is most important to me. Do not allow someone so messed up to have a chance to reoffend.

 

This is a very fair assumption. It does take a complete psycho to mow down tons of people for no reason. He very well could legitimately be insane. Should be an interesting trial.

 

This.

Exactly.

 

A civilized society would take him out back, shoot him in the parking lot, and dump the body in a river.

 

The problem is that insanity is no simple thing to evaluate. There are many different ways that people can be mentally or emotionally disturbed. I for one agree that his premeditation and the method of his escape bar any notion that he was not in full control of himself and his actions, but still he seems to have some kind of abnormal psychology. Not that it should necessarily get him a lighter sentence, but it is something that will need to be taken into consideration.
