Isn't he sweet?

Father Flanagan, the renowned founder of Boys Town, opined that he had never met a bad boy. Perhaps the good father did not get around much, for horrible examples of sheer unmotivated malice are more often committed by adolescents than by adults - or so it would appear. To declare that we should withhold capital punishment because the goblin is too young seems unreasonable to me. A creep is a creep is a creep, regardless if whether he is old enough to buy a package of cigarettes.

I mean like bashing their father's brains out while he sleeps with a baseball bat. I mean drive by shootings. I mean Columbine. I mean underage snipers. And the list goes on...

If someone found their father sleeping with a baseball bat it might not be unmotivated malice. I suppose it would depend on what the father was doing to/with the baseball bat
