    Matricide is apparently not First Degree Murder. He got a gun, made sure it was loaded & pulled the trigger, but this is not considered planned & intentional? Hmm.

    Don't you love how they bring up the "mental health" of the murderer? Like, bitch, I don't give a fuck about your mental health. Give this guy the death penalty.

    He opened a portal to demons most likely during the supernatural roles he played. Now his mind needs to be delivered (deliverance) with the help of either Katherine Krick or Mark Hemann. You'll be set free.

    watch out for people born in 1998…

    year of the tiger… this sign has a tendency to have a hunter instinct

    notice that guy wears a whole lot of striped shirts… it’s the tiger outfit

    all born in 1998 should be profiled

    I didn't even watch the movie, but holy shit! First off, we are the same age. Second off, what drives someone to actually killing their own mother? Was it self defense? Is he insane? I want to know the full story.

    Seeing alot of news people using Diary of a wimpy kid for this just to attract people, he barely did anything and was just a side charcter, might give some wrong info to alot of people
