Good grief. I honestly would not want to live after this. I hope he finds peace. Link

How can anyone explain something like this?

My prayers for those left to deal with this tragedy.

I watched the video.

I don't know why. I guess I had a couple minutes to burn.

The suspect - Matthew Bernard - is obviously criminally insane.

Sad.

It happens.

I guess the death penalty will be off the table.

I hope psychologists and sociologists are looking at these type of behaviors to determine the degree of contributing factors. (obviously Bernard was defective, was there contributing factors from his environment growing up?)

(for instance, maybe he was randomly beaten)

In other words, are some people born criminally insane? Or is it "learned"?

Maybe either one.

Oh man, that’s a rough story ... tough to get through

I read about it when the games were canceled between the Lookouts and Biscuits.

I go to maybe 8-10 games a year....usually early in the season and late to beat the heat. Lookouts baseball is a great time and value, and AA baseball is a really good level of play.

Sad story.

Who calls a baseball team the Biscuits?

Or even the Lookouts?

We are raising--and nurturing---monsters. But let's all turn a blind eye to that and look for easy, generic excuses for violent crimes.

Agreed.

But allow me to digress.

The U.S. has 327 Million people.

It's inevitable that a tiny, minuscule percentage of humans are born mentally defective.

It's unavoidable and there's no cure. Almost always just luck of the draw.

Let's say it's .000001% of the population. (it's certainly a lot more)

Among 327 million that's 327 people.

Some of these people are at a level where they are walking and talking but not thinking clearly. (not interpreting reality very well ("normally"))

Add the fact that TV news loves reporting the most heinous crimes in living color, and it seems these things are happening in our backyard everyday.

We had a murder here in Rocky Hill earlier this year. First murder in Rocky Hill in over 10 years. (A town of ~ 20,000)

It was plastered all over the local TV news for days. Every morning.

People are like "Oh My God!"

Yes let's look for solutions.

I'm not the only one who thinks violent crime is tied to TV and other visual media.

Solution? I don't think there's a "cure all". There will always be murders.

If somehow graphic violence on TV, movies and games was sharply curtailed, that would help a lot.

Ain't gonna happen.

I just realized that making fun of the baseball teams' nicknames, in light of the subject matter, was kind of insensitive.

I'm not usually politically correct but I sincerely apologize for posting like an arse.
