I hear what you’re saying but I think there’s a lot more to this than meets the eye.
Let me put it this way. Something in that family )or parents) had to be majorly effed up for those boys to coldheartedly see their family members as nothing more than mere objects standing in the way of their quest for fame.
That may be what they said but with teenagers, what they say on the surface and what’s really going on are two separate things.
Kids who kill their parents are usually doing it as a response to some type of abuse whether it’s mental/emotional or physical/sexual or perhaps drug addictiob. BUT SOMETHING has short-circuited the normal emotions of love and concern that exist between family members.
Admittedly, I have no idea what that “something” is in this particular case. Time may reveal it more.
But normal kids being raised in a loving family don’t just chuck it all out the window so they can pursue “fame”. Why do I say that? Because normal kids raised in a loving family have a CONSCIENCE (which appears to have been sorely lacking in these two.) There has to be a reason for that stunning lack of conscience which enabled them to so coldheartedly slay not just their parents but their siblings as well. If anyone is truly innocent in this scenario, it’s those children.
I’m just not buying that their thirst for fame could totally eclipse their conscience (or as Lincoln phrased it “The better angels of our nature” )
There is something missing here. Children who are loved by parents who let them know how much they are loved don’t just up and murder them on a lark because they want “fame”.
That’s far too facile an explanation for something as deep and dark as this. It isn’t just that they murdered them but, apparently relished the process.
If all you needed to do in ypur quest for fame was to eliminate your parents and family (even tho you loved them) poison would get the job done more efficiently and bloodlessly.
No, they relished the killing. That’s a lot of pent up hatred. Why?
We don’t know at this point but a lifetime of professionally dealing with kids from all types of families tells me that it’s a lot more than a desire for fame. There are missing pieces to this puzzle.
Normal kids don’t act like psychopaths out of a clear blue sky one bright and shiny day. There’s more to this story.
