Just When You Think Humanity Can't Get Any Lower...

Man, this is disturbing. Latest out of Australia claims that a seven year old boy went on a killing spree at an animal center. Appearantly, he hopped over a fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center and proceded to bludgeon 13 animals to death (several endangered species) and feed others to the crocodile. He also tried, unsuccessfully, to get into the crocodile exhibit. Personally, if you ask me, it's a pity he didn't because no matter how psychotic he is, a crocodile will tear a seven year old human to bits every time.

Look... I'm not some hard core environmentalist nut, but this kid... Wow! Not only did he get into the exhibit, but he knew enough to avoid alarms, and was smiling the whole time. His violence towards animals suggests a form of sociopathy, but what disturbs me more is that he was subtle enough not to get caught for HALF AN HOUR! A couple things bug me there; shouldn't there have been a security guard or curator to stop him? It's not that hard to overpower someone that small. But moreover, what about his parents? Did they just let him go wild? Creepy, huh? Mark my words, this kid has all the makings of a future serial killer.

The Zoo is, thankfully, suing the parents, and quite frankly I hope they take them for every red cent that they are worth, because the Aussies are too sissy to prosecute minors it seems. Thats a big mistake. I've noticed the media hasn't released his name or much on him; courts probably won't let them either. This is a huge problem, because this kid is displaying all the signs of a psychopath. He won't be stopped, put in a facility or given treatment, I can garuntee you, and the parents probably will bend over backwards to protect the little monster.

I'm telling you, the best possible fate here would have been if the crocodile ate this son of a bitch, or if he got bit by one of their venomous snakes... death adder or taipan or brown snake. Something like that. Because ten, twenty years down the road, this very same kid is going to be a violent, socially maladjusted adult, and he will have moved on from small animals to people.
