  3. That’s actually a terrifying mugshot. Even in the absence of his crimes he appears deeply mentally ill just by his appearance.

    There are some people just not suited for participation in society. What horror it is that it took the deaths of three children to find out. 

  5. A shame he is too young to receive a whole life sentence.

  7. I utterly fail to understand the terrorist aspect of this horrible youngster’s crime. Terrorists usually perform their attacks to make their “cause” widely known and talked about. But in this particular case – what dogma, what message, what ideology could he want to promote by attacking innocent children?

    What I see is a deeply mentally ill young individual who should have been isolated in a mental health institution years ago. Good thing that he is being locked up now. But, is he a terrorist? Even if his intent was indeed terrorism (which I doubt), by keeping completely silent about his motives, he is doing a terrible “job” at it.

    Or am I missing something? I just can’t comprehend what’s going on in this person’s deeply troubled mind.

  8. Nothing about this is normal or okay. We can’t just wave our hands and say mental health here.

  10. And was also on Prevent’s watchlist all along. Fat load of good they did (again).

  11. Oh my, that is a *slightly* different picture of him than what has been trotted out up until now, isn’t it?

  13. Is he deliberately trying to look creepy in the mugshot with his lips pulled in like that?

    Sounds like a very troubled man who could have been stopped a lot sooner. I understand what purpose Prevent serves but I wonder if this will highlight the need to have a service that steps in for people like this who have been ‘radicalised’ towards violence without a specific agenda. Or are we to assume this is so vanishingly rare that it won’t ever happen again?

    I hope prison serves one of its main purposes here in keeping the public safe from him. Permanently, I wish.

  14. What will he do everyday for the rest of his life?

    Not that I care about him, just wondering.

  16. Looks like the guy had a servere mental health break.

    Not sure i understand what the so called professional is trying to say though. What do they mean by “generational evil.”?

    His parents haven’t done anything have they?

  17. I guess that conspiracy theory about the media only using a photo of him as a child to, somehow, make his crimes seem less serious has finally been disproven.
