Who says I don't ask myself what's going on? It's true, the young age of
these killers is tragic. How much more tragic do you want it to be? Would
you prefer the killers who go uncaptured for years? Give me one kid who
blows up and burns out in a single day.
Perhaps it's better that these goons wigged out at such a young age, in that
their potential for destruction is significantly less than what it could
be. Imagine how bad it could get if these kids grew to adulthood with the
simmering phychoses still submerged, and they are given jobs at a chemical
weapons plant or *shudder* in public broadcasting!
Whoops, forgot my SARCASM tags...

No one has equal rights. Period. The concept, while pretty, is absolutely
unattainable. We have to aim for the next-best solution, and accept that
there will always be stumbling blocks in the path.

Ah. Okay. I understand. Apology accepted.
