Vengeance? Where does vengeance enter into this?

This kid has demonstrated a fundamental incapacity to feel empathy and remorse for the lives he ruined and the people he purposefully and repeated placed in lethal situations.

Such a psychopath is a menace to society and needs to be locked up.

You can't make that assertion based on this article because it doesn't have enough information. People – especially children and teenagers – can commit crimes, even terrible crimes, and still have the capacity to feel empathy.

It's these kind of wild views that see all criminals as irredeemable Hannibal Lector type monsters that barely qualify as human that led to the militarisation of the police in the first place. Well, one of the reasons anyway.

Hundreds of SWATtings. You can infer a lot from that alone.

Society being unable to self-regulate and deal with problem people like this is a purely modern issue. I hope we find a solution because, otherwise, I don’t see how things stay together.

What?

People commit crimes that have negative impact on people, possibly causing death

They go to prison for committing these crimes

It’s not like the guy accidentally ran over a dog

He swatted people for money

I never said he shouldn't go to prison. I also never said this wasn't serious.
