Cold Blooded Teenage murderer, "it was ahmazing..."

For some of us the side effects are the ability to function

 

I think this is the main reason why I've always turned down offers of anti-depressants. I am able to function without them. I've lived with depression since early childhood, and I've just learned to cope with it, though it is very hard sometimes. Some people do need anti-depressants, and I wasn't suggesting otherwise. But I think they are given out too readily, and easily.

 

She felt no remorse and wrote down that she actually enjoyed stabbing her neighbor to death. I'm quite convinced that all the people who are empathizing with this girl would not be so quick to feel sorry if she were a he.

 

I think you are probably right about that. Had it been a guy of the same age who had done this, there would probably be far less empathy shown towards the killer. Which is just reverse sexism really. I simply look at the act itself, the gender of the perpetrator doesn't mean anything to me in cases of cold blooded sadism and/or murder. The fact the killer was female shouldn't mean she is treated any more leniantly or favourably than a guy committing the same offense.

 

I think a sick psychopath is a sick psychopath regardless of gender. Most psychopaths have endured abuse and neglect in life. I can find sympathy for them, buried deep beneath a level of disgust and general hatred of a world that can create someone like that.

I feel bad for anyone that suffers abuse and neglect. Male or female.

Occassionally a psychopath comes from a normal upbringing. Does this mean evil can be an inborn trait? This thought scared me.

 

I don't really feel much sympathy for psychopaths, even if they have suffered abuse in life. As there are plenty of other people who suffered neglect and abuse who do not turn out to be sadistic psychopaths. Just as there are also psychopaths who were not abused in childhood. I think the capacity to commit such acts probably is, in some cases at least, an inborn trait. Envoirnmental factors may play a role in how likely it is that having the capacity to murder means that you will actually do it. But I think it's only ever a factor, rather than being the whole reason for it.

Just because you yourself have suffered, is no excuse to take that suffering out on others. As someone who did suffer a lot in childhood, and wouldn't even dream of doing something like this, I find it difficult to empathise with anyone who could commit such an act. In my opinion, there is never an excuse for it. Apart from being severely mentally disturbed. In which case, you should be locked away to protect others.

 

The fact that she changed her journal to cover her tracks, shows she knew it was wrong. To stab and put your own bare hands around the neck of a small child until the life goes out of her is beyond me. Further disturbing is that she went to a church dance right after, even laughing about it. All just to see what it felt like? Nothing normal about any of that. The fact that she dug two graves ahead of time and said the killing was enjoyable makes me think she was gonna kill again soon. Who was the second grave for? I know the parents of the nine year old had to listen to the gruesome details in court. The whole situation is sad for so many reasons.

 

I disociated and stole something when I was a kid too

I don't remember if I had been given any medication (i think I was 5 or 6)

I will never forget how tripped out I was that I couldn't remember doing it

Luckily it hasn't happened again

I'd like to continue to not be schizophrenic

 

She should obviously be locked up, but I don't know about for ever.

I think the sentence should be split between her and her parents.

 

I don't think it has anything to do with her gender

I, for one, feel bad for her having to be a person who, at that moment and possibly all of her life, that is mentally twisted enough to murder a child, and she will be that person for the rest of her life

But if she's really a sociopath, I probably care more than she does

Even though I pity her for being who she is, I hope the law and institutions can prevent her from murdering others

And I am as grateful as ever for whatever manner of mental health I'm blessed with
