What can possibly be going through this persons mind?

It's hard to wrap your brain around what the hell would posses this man to snap and dismember an 8 year old boy. It is so close to me where they found half of the body of this child, it's scary. I admit I cried when I heard and could only think what the parents must be going through.

Your thoughts?!

In a physical sense, the criminal killed the boy. In another non pshysical sense, the community killed the boy. I went to the link above and it said that the community send out flyers. There was a search party going on. In response to the search party, the criminal killed the boy.

I don't mean to offend anybody. And im not saying that i blame the community for their actions. I feel like im right and you guys who oppose me are wrong. The criminal killed the kid as a RESPONSE to the search party. In a sense, the community is at fault for the child's death. Not the only fault.

If there wasn't a search party going on. The child would have a greater chance of living. Tho, i have no ways of proving that other than it was said in the link that he killed the boy as a RESPONSE to the search party.

Think about it like this. If you wrote an essay on paper. And i stole that essay. And you wrote another essay. Why did you write another essay? Many reasons. One reason so you won't get a zero on your homework or project. However, the other reason is because i stole your essay. The same concept is applied here. The guy killed the kid because he was probably planning on doing it anyway (possibly). But the other reason was because it was the community.

Guys, the linked said that he killed the boy in response to the search party or flyers. (don't remember)

I think my head isn't on straight because 1. i get why he did it, and 2. i felt like laughing. But if anybody is going to insult me for laughing, i could give you my indepth philosophy on initial emotion. lol.

I get why he did it because he felt nervous of the flyers. He told the police he had intentions of giving the boy back to the parents but that isn't always the case with criminals. As he saw the flyers, the criminal began to wonder that people are going to think it was him. In a result of that worry, he chopped the boy in peices, thinking that would be a way to avoid being caught.

I believe, that it is the community fault that the boy is dead. Aron saw the flyers and as a result, killed the boy. The flyers were the cause. The community is the cause.

Or am i wrong? I don't mean to offend anybody but if you think im wrong, please explain?

This is not purely logical, yes the flyer's are attributed by this person to being the motivation behind killing and dismembering an innocent child, but they are not the first cause, the accused taking of the boy is the first cause. What would you expect a family with a missing child to do? They can't just assume that by looking for their child that it would mean that he would be killed.

Also how are we to know that killing the boy was not his ultimate goal?

It's very easy to just push blame onto others.

The community is wrong? The flyers killed the kid? Are you kidding first off the flyers did not kill the kid the man did. 2nd as a concerned parent you are going to do what you can to find your child, without letting the community know that this child missing and what to look out for you will not be able to find the kid.

Even if he had dropped the kid off he was still wrong and would been found either way.

In this situation putting the blame on the family is ridiculous, it is not their fault that sick individual decided he was going to play with the fate of an 8 year old boy and the fact that anyone would think that is okay is disturbing to say the least

Im sorry if i upsetted you. However, i don't see around my logic. It sounds horrible to me say what i stated, but im standing by it.

The news woman said that he chopped the boy into peices when HE learned that the massive search party is under way. The community is the cause for the child's death because it tempted the criminal to chop the boy into peices.

It seems like simple math to me. Criminal plus Search party equals boy's death. If he was going to kill him anyway, then i wouldn't blame the community. But this is what was learned by the link you gave to us.

You have got to be kidding us........

It is the communities fault??????????????????

What about taking personal responsiblity for your actions? I really question your judgement here. I am sick of people BLAMING PEOPLE. And today if someone is arrested for something...........they scream like Casey Anthony did..........I was abused. Its the mothers and fathers fault the brothers uncles...teachers....librarians.....etc etc.

This guy was sick and it was his actions alone that killed this child. I struggle with the death penalty...but man, in cases like this....my emotions get the best of me and I say take him out back....and cut off limb by limb...his entire body, while he is awake. Yea yea I know...Christian love...hey I am not perfect.

He should be locked away with no food or water.......until he dies.......is that bad enough? Ok dropped off in the middle of the ocean? Thats to humane......drop him off the tallest tower in New York? How about tell Muslim radicals about what he did and give him to them. .....

"Yea yea I know...Christian love...hey I am not perfect."

Oh i now, to quote Bill Hicks:

" You ever look at their faces? "we're pro-life and we'll kill your ass!" Don't they look it? Don't they just exude joie de vivre?

"I believe that the Bible is the literal word of God." And I say no, it's not, Dad. "Well, I believe that it is." Well, you know, some people believe they're Napoleon. That's fine. Beliefs are neat. Cherish them, but don't share them like they're the truth."

The community did play a part in the boy's demise. You can deny that all you want, but the truth is that the community actions is what tempted the criminal to kill the boy.
