Article is a good read and does not require a login.

I posted this more for what one cannot see in the article.

I'm thinking as I buy my first copy of this rag in a long time that I may start subscribing again as I'm really missing out a lot local news. So I buy a copy, and there on the front page is this article and a pic of the killer.

But in a smaller picture underneath a pic of the killer is an eagle's head against an American Flag background with the words "God Bless America". The caption read:A drawing from the sketchbook of the (murder suspect).

Now, don't you think that there were probably other sketch's in this kid's "sketchbook" that showed what a wackjob he is? We've all seen them before: Death's head, kill teacher so-and-so, etc. But, no. The Sentinel choose to run a pic of an American flag with "God Bless America" on it as representative of this kid's state of mind.

They can KMA.

The quality of writing is attempted murder in itself.

Maybe he was a 'jowler'. That can really mess up a person's head...

Other articles said that he has a rap sheet dating back to when he was 10 years old. He's been needing to be in jail for quite some time.

Conclusion Options:

1) Wanton renegade sicko killer

2) Newby idiot contract killer being tested

Either way, cold blooded murderer. Prosecute him to the full extent of the law!
