[quote=Anonymous]I don't think any of us really know anything about this young man beyond the crimes he is accused of committing. I heard  a lot of commentary by family members and casual acquaintances (a classmate, a casual friend from the neighborhood, etc.) on any number of "news" stations.  These accounts don't paint a total picture and yet people are jumping to conclusions that his brother brainwashed him, he was a sweet kid, etc.  I am inclined to believe his actions are the greatest indication of who he is, and to look someone in the eye knowing you are about to blow them apart speaks volumes about this man if he is indeed guilty.  I am not usually one to jump on the appearance as an excuse bandwagon, but I do believe that young and  "innocent" appearance portrayed in many of the pictures we have see (not at the marathon) is swaying people and causing some to identify and some to seek a plausible explanation.  this was a well planned and deliberate attack.  It wasn't a spur of the moment response to some tragedy.  It was deliberate, vicious and cannot be excused because he looks like the innocent kid next door.  Many people suffer horrific abuse and do not turn out to be murderers of strangers.[/quote]
