[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 391376, member: 57984"] I'm not sure these are [I]serial killers[/I] per se -- more like killings over breakfast cereal. It's the updated story of the Menendez Brothers who murdered their parents in their L.A. living room one evening in 1989 with a shotgun... The public discourse surrounding this case was interesting. Some people asserted the brothers were "lying" about their father's abuse (and were motivated only by greed) and were guilty of both murder and "the abuse excuse" and should therefore be themselves executed pronto; while others asserted the brothers were telling the truth and therefore should be acquitted. My argument was: why can't both things be true? I [I][B]assumed [/B][/I]the father was obviously guilty, that he'd turned his sons into killers with no values other than materialism, and now they needed to go to prison. (And the mother was probably just another enabler, a wife married to a gay boy-raper husband who stays in it for the resources and the lifestyle). As J.R. Ewing once said: "It seems to suit a lot of 'em." By killing the parents, though, Eric & Lyle successfully locked themselves forever in the prison those parents built for them since childhood.
