[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of those stories which simply has no empathetic response except that this young man, the murderer, never had a chance. And that is sad. [/quote]

Murderer and victim.  And something must also be wrong with the mom.  I know you think that this is just  a case of bad people, but it's all tied up in the dehumanizing of certain segments of our population over generations.[/quote]

All over the world, for centuries, there have been people victimized, dehumanized, mistreated, and living in poverty. Most do not raise violent family members and murderers. [/quote]

This.

During the Great Depression people ate rice and beans day after day in the US.  Children knew hunger during the Great Depression right here in the US. The children were not out murdering others.[/quote]

The relationship between economics and crime is complicated, but murder rates absolutely rose during the Great Depression. The national murder rate during the early 30s hit rates that we wouldn't see again until the 70s. [/quote]

But were minor children doing the murdering during the Depression?  I suspect they were more likely to be doing farm work or subbed out to neighborhood farms to work or working in the family shop.[/quote]
