Gosh, that is painful. I listened to the whole thing, and its really heart-breaking.
I've read a bit about it and it seems like he was pretty normal prior to this.
I definitely do not support him being tortured or sentenced to death. I don't know if I believe in the death penalty, but this kid just needs help.
Rehabilitation and jail time would probably be fine. (I hope)

Edit: And oh yeah, forgot to mention:
This kid should be put to death or face 50 years to life.
Saying "oh, he seems so normal and it's so sad because he's shocked." is pretty rediculous. He himself said "I don't know why I wanted to kill them, I just felt like killing someone" If he was on drugs, or was abused by his family, then it would seem less horrific, but he even said "I only killed them because I hate their tone of voice when then speak"
This kid is most likely a sociopath, or plays too many violent videogames.
(I'm just intolerant of people like him, I wouldn't lose my shit over anything else btw)
That's your one pet peeve, huh?
At what point in the conversation did the kid say that violent video games had an effect on what he did? I don't know if you listened to the audio tape or not, but I'm pretty sure that kid had major psychological problems, and he felt like his family was "constricting" him, as he says during the conversation. There obviously were reasons for him murdering his mom and sister, whether or not it be about them or something else. He didn't kill them because of "the tone of voice when they speak", he didn't even talk about tone of voice. He mentioned a lot about racism with his sister, as well as probably arguments, a lot of hatred, etc.
This kid deserves punishment and rehabilitation, yes, but repeatedly stabbing him with a knife is a bit overboard.. I guess in the world of Zayex where your one pet peeve is "kids murdering their family for no apparent reason", that makes sense.

I agree with you completely. He doesn't need to be thrown into the prison life or anything like that, he needs psychological rehabilitation and a lot of mental help.

I cant even bring myself to listen to the audio file. But none the less I'm still an eye for an eye sort of man, albeit a lenient one. Severe 'crimes' should defiantly be punished with the same consequence bestowed on their victim (Ex. Homicide) The only problem with this would be the court of law. I find the system has never really worked, mainly because who are we, random people to choose the punishment of someone's crime?

We are society. It is our job to deal with people. Hammurabi's laws weren't absolute, fyi, the rich were able to pay their way out of it. You agree to it when you accept our constitutions, or laws, or whatever traditions entailed in society, and in exchange, we offer you those rights and whatnot in order to better the average quality of life. It is why people no longer fight bears and wolves on a daily basis for survival. It is why we don't enslave people in the traditional sense(financially we do, though.)
This kid should be rehabilitated. You honestly have no idea what mental illnesses do to people; few people do, but, if you'd only understand the gravity of it, you'd agree that they should be rehabilitated.
