The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

Worst Excuse for Murder Award: Finalist




Police documents said a Fort Pierce teenager told detectives he killed his parents because he didn't want to disappoint them anymore.


Well, I'm sure they would be very proud of him now.


Here's the part that really gets me, though (italics mine).


The teen then described how he walked into the kitchen, shot his dad three times in the back, then shot his mother, 46-year-old Penny Brighton, while she began to run away, police said in the report. Brighton pleaded not guilty after being charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Brighton faces a possible sentence of life in prison if convicted.


So we get to spend time and money proving in court that he's guilty of what he just confessed to. I'm not knocking the system- it's all him. What a wad.

I'm sure it's all the baby boomer's fault, since evidently we've ruined the world and all future generations with the whole touchy, feely "me" thing.

Yes, there will be time and money spent to prove he's just a victim of society, then we'll let him live in prison for a bit and get really hardened up!

Then he'll be living his life "his way", alright.

Well I heard he just snapped after his seventh computer got hacked. I mean who wouldn't go off the deep end?

Modern life weighs heavy on a fella.
