People like that should just be killed
Find the bullies and punish them as well
Bullying is becoming a big issue but I think the worse part is the parents don't want to take part in it to much these days.
Freddie dredd s childhood
He raped and killed a 4 year old. This ginger demon 😈 is the devils spawn. He should never see the light of day. Do you want this maniac as your next door neighbor.
That kid shouldn't have spent 1 day in jail he should of been put down like a rabbid dog
Council kids who have been bullied?? Don’t let that man near children
This is america
kid built like "🤓"
28 years not enough keep him in there for life
When i was thirteen i don't know how to pee correctly but this child. oh!!
He was freed while other people still mourn their children .
14. This is a tough one. What he did was just evil. Even the Supreme Court has ruled you can't give automatic life without parole. I dunno. I hate the 'throw away humans' culture of my country but this one is tough.
the bottom line is, the 4y old is never coming back. neither should this guy.
Is he sorry???
Be more involved with your children, folks.

This is the type of monster you raise when you disallow corporal punishment in families and in schools…
The circle of violence and evil. That's a very good example of it. Who is to blame? Parents who didn't raise their kids properly. their kids passing violence unto other kids. those kids passing the violence unto others. And this never stops. Violence is a virus. We must understand that. Sometimes yes its necessary (in defense of life etc). But the initiators those who are the first to act in selfish violence (for money, power, or other selfish and unjust reasons) usually are part of a vast unending circle of violence receivers and givers.
Dude has 0 emotions in his face, he’s likely to re-offend. Keep him locked up
In Chicago they let out murderers after trivial punishments, but they are not …
I don't know man. There is such a coldness in his eyes still. I wouldn't let him around other children. Just to be aafe
I wonder where he ends up living, and how his neighbours are going to feel about that. Particularly if they have kids.
Watching this and thinking, he's probably starting anew in his community and connecting with people he knows or something but no. He just decided to live in my community. That's nice 🥹
I once got bullied back in middle school. Have I ever thrown my inner rage on someone else? No. I learned that having concentrated anger is much more tactical. That way, I’m only angry towards the people that bullied me and not to the innocent people that has nothing to do with it. Telling to the teacher about bullies doesn’t always work, so I suggest finding a group of classmates who you have in common with, and hang around with them, or at the very least try to find a group that matches your personality. It’s much more harder for a bully to harass and bully a group of people. I think quantity wins in this specific circumstance.
He (Eric) should've been left to rot in prison until his last breath.
Cartman being proven right again
"I'm not the same person/People change" is just a more pleasant/politically correct way of saying "Oh, I'm still the same, but i now know how to hide it better (which is terrifying), so much better that you'll never catch me again".
When it comes to protecting communities, caring about pleasantness and political correctness NEVER ends well.
First off, re him wanting to have a family: Who in their right mind would let him impregnate them 😳?!
Secondly, thousands, if not millions, of kids have been bullied. Murdering innocent victims (of any age) is NEVER an excusable because of it!
Imho, I think something is loose or missing in the brains (and hearts) of people who can commit such unspeakable acts! It 'might' can be suppressed with therapy but I personally don't believe they can ever be truly 'fixed/cured' of such profound evilness.
Anyone released from prison after committing these acts should be under surveillance 24/7/365! That or banish them to some secluded island with others of their ilk.
Yeah no excuses. All these people saying it’s cuz he was bullied doesn’t justify you taking one’s life. Y’all dumb af
