Soldato
He went to a school not that far from me that have children of family friends there, they all claim he was pretty messed up so not sure how it got to this.
I agree that in the UK today as soon as someone does something terrible its a case of:
1. He/she must be ill
2. Had a tough childhood
3. Grew up in tough neighbourhood
4. There was "nothing to do" and they were "bored"
5. It has to be a mental issue
6. Bad parenting
7. Grand Theft Auto
8. Call of Duty
Seems its no-ones fault ever. This asswipe killed his own mother, the human who carried him for 9 months. Yet he will be out in 16 years to live HIS life. 16...SIXTEEN years for this. Its like being slapped with a feather-duster. Disgusting.
Good God.....can't even begin to imagine the reasons for him doing such a thing...just awful.
There's a guy who posted earlier in the thread who actually knew him. He seemed to think he was fine...

Not sure if serious or just stupid.
Congratulations to the soft goody 2 shoe PC brigade. Because of lack of discipline in schools and because you don't let parents discipline their own kids .. smacking ... then this is the monster you created. Also due to our soft soft justice system , this fella will be free in less than 16 years so he will have 40 years of freedom laughing at you. Well done PC people.
I'm a realist.
Guys, i know some of this will fall on deaf ears, and yes, i know it's GD, but i'd really appreciate (Seeing as i started the thread) that posts aren't too controversially provocative just for the sake of causing a reaction.
The father is a friend of mine and i can't even begin to imagine what he's going through. Your honest opinions and input are welcome, stupid comments won't help.
Just spoken to the dad, he seems ok, taking it a day at a time. Said they'd had a long time to prepare for the news break yesterday, but said it didn't make it easier. He's now just trying to to protect his other kids from unwanted publicity or news.
