If you think this is an isolated matter then i feel bad for you. There are many many others who want to destroy humanity for whatever reasons they are just too scared to do it and if they do it they would rather kill themselves the go through the consequences in this life. This was not the case for this young man. He did not end up killing himself and I think with his help we can try to get a little closer into understanding the mind set of these types of people.

I never said he should receive the death penalty
Part of the reason we punish people for crimes is to set a precedent and send a message to the public that if they do stuff like this then this is what is going to happen to them. We are not at a stage yet where we can figure out completely how the human brain works and how to prevent those type of thoughts from occurring with troubled people so making an example out of someone who indeed deserves it is the best thing we have now until more advancements are made. Its not perfect but it is better than attempting to rehabilitate him and giving him a second chance without ever knowing if he might snap again
As of now he is a lost cause, dont want him to get the death penalty but a trip to Guantanamo
