Thomas had emotional childhood experiences, including being kicked out of his home when he was a high school senior because he told his mother he didn't want to be a Jehovah's Witness, Istratescu said.

Istratescu said it is hard to fathom why a one-time religious, helpful and hardworking father of two, “the kind of guy who would give the shirt off his back,” would kill.

“Because the pain inside him is too much to bear,” she told jurors.

Band on the Run

This case makes no sense to me.

You'd have to draw a very long bow to attribute his senseless, and seemingly insane act of muderous violence, to JW influences - but that won't stop some from doing so. The world teems with hurt individuals only too able to point to childhood events that "made" them the way they are. Oh, boy! Unfortunately, the world has in it people from all sorts of backgrounds, pious and otherwise, deprived and affluent, who go "nuts", leaving bystanders and others bewildered, searching for "causes". I feel for the two people whose lives he took and their grieving families and friends.

A JW friend of mine, when I was making excuses for another friend of mine who had a rough childhood, pointed out to me that he and his siblings had the roughest of childhoods, and yet they all turned out to be lovely people as adults.

He was dead right. It made me think, if three people could turn out O.K like him and his sisters, can we use such bad-start childhoods as an excuse ? How many more examples like his are there that we do not hear about ?

We need to recognise that some people go bad, because they have made that choice.

People like my friend and his sisters make better choices.

There's no excuse for what this fool did

People go through rough childhoods, Divorce, bankruptcy, and addictions everyday

.

Rather than kill others, they continue to try and

lift themselves up , brush off the dust of dissapointment

and start over again.

.

Trust. We all have seen times where we had to press the reset button, and start over

.

His act was stupidity at its best

A man who's credit was so bad, that he couldn't get a damn lollipop without cash money

decides to kill innocent people for a car he couldn't afford because his ass was bankrupt

.

There are many reasons people may have to file for bankruptcy protection,

some beyond thier control, like medical expenses

But this man has shown us why he went bankrupt

by reachin' for things he couldn't afford and could have done without

.

.This act of murder was one of many bad choices he made
And he has no one to blame for that but himself..

Sociopaths make elaborate, ludicrous excuses sometimes. Just sayin'.

Screaming Rick Fearon is trying to ake a connection between this man's youth and these killings. Some 20 years have passed between his teens and this crime.

Shouting "the sky is falling' evertime there is a JW connection just makes the shouter look absurd.
