Home-schooled. That explains a lot.
What a sad, sad story.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

I'm not usually sensitive to such things, but the wholr missionary/member of the church thing, to me, is irrelevant and salacious. What were the other three guys about to do? Go have a sandwich? What organizations do they belong to?
"A local teen who was about to go to work at McDonalds instead killed a family today. John Doe, an employee of McDonalds, and three other teens..."
Wouldn't McDonalds rightly say, what the hell does that have to do with us?

Yeah, I'll join that club too. What an awful story.Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...
None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.
I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

If he were a Bishop, then is would be a story, same as if he were a priest. Those sorts of things I have not problem with, but as I say above, I agree with you.Originally posted by Maximus View PostWhy is the fact that he is mormon a necessary or relevant part of the story? Do they always tell us what religion murderers are?

I cant say i like it, but the relevance (although remote) is that it is even MORE shocking when you take into account that he was planning on being a missionary, or a man of god. If one of the killers was in a catholic seminary, you can bet the lead would have included reference to the seminary student. It's one thing if a local burn out ends up being a murderer. It's altogether different if the killer is one of those nice boys on bikes. Its almost a compliment; people expect Mormons to be good, not to be killers.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Those were my thoughts too. The fact that he was just about to depart on a mission, is like saying he was about to join the Peace Corps. On the cusp of doing something admirable. Makes it noteworthy.Originally posted by creekster View PostI cant say i like it, but the relevance (although remote) is that it is even MORE shocking when you take into account that he was planning on being a missionary, or a man of god.

I take it as a compliment when the media brings up stuff like: "he did this and he is Mormon" because it is a reflection that Mormon's are generally good people and it is out of the ordinary for someone of his background to do something like this.

I wonder why the Mormon kid who helped kill Mathew Shepherd didn't have his Mormon connections trumpeted like this kid.Originally posted by beefytee View PostI take it as a compliment when the media brings up stuff like: "he did this and he is Mormon" because it is a reflection that Mormon's are generally good people and it is out of the ordinary for someone of his background to do something like this.

Like others, I'm trying to figure out what religious affiliation has to do with this and why the religious affiliation of the other 3 was not mentioned. Rather unprofessional on the part of the 4 who wrote the article.
And speaking of who wrote the article, it took 4 reporters to write it?"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill
"I only know what I hear on the news." - Dear Leader
