Bad seed...it's the quiet, gentle type,you need to keep your eye on.

This little sociopath is going to have an absolute ball in prison. Terrible all around. Were there not ANY signs that this kid just wasn't right in the head?!?

For all those Americans arming themselves to the teeth because they think a Harvard-educated, half-black father of two kids will take away their guns, consider this. In ten year's time, how many of those guns will be used to commit suicide or to kill loved ones or innocent strangers?

its obama's fault! lol!

I have read studies that are being systematically repressed, that suggest teen boys who snap like this, do so after experimenting with homosexuality, and even say they did because the media and the culture promote it so much (you know that old harmless "dont knock it till you tried it" sort of thinking...). But then after they are so stigmatized and traumatized by the guilt and shame of their perversion, they start to decend into nihilism as a repreive from the shame...but it only degenerates from there. It is suggested the Columbine kids were experimenting with homosexuality with each other too before they went on their shooting spree. Not just take away morality, but villify morality culturally, and this is what you get. "Lord of the Flies" with guns. But the saddest people are the ones who think outlawing guns is the solution...sad sad stupid people...

He didn't like the feeling of killing.

I reckon his mother and sister didn't like being killed.

Lock him up. Throw away the key.

All the more reason for gun control.

It is always the quiet ones.....

Judge: "How do you plea?" Evans: "Guilty. Judge: Fine. I sentence you to death. Your appeal is automatic (why, if he pleaded guilty?). You have 30 days. Whereupon, the sentence will be carried out." This could all happen before Thanksgiving. Justice should be swift. Mentally ill? OK. One less.

This is a young life with a lot of problems... He's not evil, he did evil, but the man knows what he did is wrong that he is a mess. This killing is very sad, senseless, but the young man is a wreck, seems even before this happened he was.

All of you making light of this, perhaps you need to taste the sting of pain as this man has, as his family has... You're just as inhuman as him, perhaps more so, I would hope many of you know how wrong this is, yet you still laugh... Shame on you all!

Was there any history of abuse of animals? Sometimes people say "It was only a dog or a cat or a rabbit, etc.", but that is often a huge red flag that it will escalate on to humans.

It should be illegal to be a quiet introvert .Get that injection needle ready ..

Kids, You have them, and they grow up and kill you, Go figure...

I'm getting the impression that more family members get killed than actual criminals when you have a gun in the family....

Even the most trained families with cops, there are already 2 or 3 stories over summer where the cop's kid shot himself DEAD...

I say let's replace guns with spears or axes...wouldn't that be a better substitute? You still protect your family. You still can do hunting. Same minimal training (or lack of)...

Let there be a NSA - National Spear Association to promote home ownership of spears...

If you follow probabilities, there are a few % of people who are born in to this world - sweet looking but they are the litterall the spawn of Sat*n.

I'm sure his family thought they knew him to feel safe.. but they weren't safe at all. Makes u wonder about your friends and acquaintance u see everyday.

Must be the heat in Texas .... or the drugs he's taking.

For all of you anti-gun, pro gun controls, are you also pro alchohol controls? Roughly 25,000 die each year due to alcohol related accidents. Also roughly 30,000 are killed with guns. Out of the 30,000 killed with guns about 12,000 are suicide. So 7,000 less people are killed by guns than with alcohol. I am pretty sure you will not stand on your soap box and say that alcohol should have more laws too would you?

"Everybody knew him as just being the quiet kid ... but he was really sweet and gentle," she said.

Now he's a sweet and gentle murderer.

Fry him gently, and add a little pumpkin spice to make it sweet!!

I believe in family...but only in healthy family that has the right parenting skills and resources. In many countries this "family obsession" and "excessive family loyalty" drives some to do desperate things in "anger, rage and a feeling of being stuck (especially when you are young and dependent)" in stead of having ways to leave, find better support outside and finding the right counselors or therapists.

We have far too many people having children young, and many are not fit to be decent human beings let alone decent citizens...let alone decent parents.

We also have parents struggling with kids who are screwed up by drugs, alcohol, bad peer influence, violent movies and video games that celebrate brutality or killing as a solution for everything...with easy access to guns.

I think we feminsts have talked enough about controlling fathers...but not enough about controlling mothers. I see this a lot among some Asian, Jewish and other communities in Southern California. Some are good mothers who are assertive and pro-active, but some are hyper, bossy and neurotic in ways that raise unhappy, low self-esteem, repressed, supressed, angry boys or boy-men. This needs to be openly talked about.

As many women try to get out of the patriarchy of their own history, culture and life...their interactions with their children can be unhealthy, contradictory and full of unresolved feelings and anger. They are raising boys who end up aggressive or weak, or guys who commit financial crimes in the name of "taking care of family or mummy". Very strange attitudes in the name of family loyalty.

I had parents who expected us to be independent as well as objective on matters that concern family and community issues. My father would say, "If anyone in the family is doing anything that is criminal or unethical you confront them, talk to us abou it and then report it to the police. It does not matter whether it is personal or not. If they are indulging in corruption you don't tolerate it or okay it because they are family! Family should come first but not when it comes to higher standards of ethics and integrity that should be universal and consistent!" I am proud of such upbringing.

US is going in a thousand different directions that all seem toxic. Idiots in other cultures learn the wort of America and Americans seem to learn the worst from other cultures. Long long way to go!

The pictures seem to indicate he came from a loving family. It is difficult to understand why this sort of thing takes place. Obviously there is a mental problem, but he needs to be put away until he passes away! We need to know far more than we do about demons! They are REAL!!

So how's that 2nd Amendment working out for ya Texas?

When I was younger, I'm retired now, we never had as many teens so mentally challenged as we do today. Whether it is in the water they drink or parenting using Dr. Spock as a reference, God only knows, but we seem to have a greater number needing serious help. Mind altering depression medications are not necessarily the answer.

We all know how successful that is. just look at Adam Lanza or the messed up kid that shot Gabriel Gifford. Guns are not to blame, lack of proper parenting certainly is a factor. The heavy reliance on medication to cure all our mental ills is another. Our society is different today. there are more and more single parent homes, more with both parents away working, and this leeds to children left alone when they should have at least one parent always there for them. A heavy diet od snack foods loaded witrh sodea pop and junk food does not help either.

Certainly something needs to be done anbout guns but restricting them is not the answer. You need to take writen and practical tests to drive a motor vehicle and yet any redneck can waltz into a gun show and buy a weapon. No testing necessary. Do you see something wrong with this picture?

Movies cannot be blamed, although there are many with questionable content that require better rating scrutiny. No, it all boils down to parenting and nurturing the needs of your children.

Beware of anyone showing up offering to help and states, I'm from the government. They are not thorough, they operate with one thing in mind - political ramifications that affect their career, and miscalculate what the solution to the problem really is.

this is what the NRA is reffering to,

violence on tv , the movies, and those damned sick video games

he threw away the movie , so he knows the difference between right and wrong ,

he stole the gun thats a federal offense ,

he planned his actions , thats premeditaited

he committed the crime of murder ,

twice : two deaths

and he calmly said that he didnt really care who he killed he just was gonna kill

by his own admission , remember this folks every thing u say can and will be used against u in a court of law

by his own admission , he should be tried for a capital offense , as an adult in this case

he should be convicted of two counts of premeditated murder ,

and treated as an adult and put to death for such a heinious crime ,

life in prison with no possibility of parole is too good for him , and too costly for the rest of us who know the

difference between right and wrong and abide by the laws

and have to pay for his crimes

he should be be tried as an adult and put to sleep
