I want this man to die and I also want to know his motive --77.75.161.35 20:57, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately Belgium abolished capital punishment with the rest of the Europe Union with the exception of Belarus. I had the same thoughts, and was disappointed after doing a quick search on capital punishment. A better punishment would be solitary confinement where the only sounds he hears are babies crying.—70.74.228.253 18:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Why?

Those poor babies and kids and their families. How horrific and despicable an act. Why did this evil man do this? What was his rationale? I don't think many, if anyone, will be able to understand his reasonings if he ever does elaborate, but still... my mind screams out, "Why?"

The "Joker" Murderer

The authorities should also look into whether this man has delved into the occult, because believe it or not, he may have gotten himself demon-possessed. Think about it, he has no criminal record, no alcohol or drugs in his blood, and people say he had never shown anything in his behavior to suggest that he would do something as evil and as heinous as this. That has happened before in our country(Philippines) too, about ten years ago, where a young man snapped and went after and stabbed his mother and sister to death while they were trying to run away from him to escape certain death.They almost made it to safety when they ran as fast as they could and got to their neighbor's gate, as their neighbors behind that very gate watched in sheer horror, but they would not open the gate for them as they were only women and children and were themselves fearing for their own lives and safety. That's why the very own 'monster-of-a-son' and brother of the two women victims got stabbed to death right there and then in the sight of all those people. One witness even said that the killer was stabbing at the back of his mother so hard that his kitchen knife broke off while half of it got stuck on her back, before turning to go after his sister. The killer was caught, and while being detained at the police station he was mumbling nonsense and was out of his right mind. He also never once had a criminal history nor was he known, by family and friends, to have ever taken drugs . Strangely, he was a practicing licensed engineer employed in a certain company, and his coworkers commented that there were no tell-tale signs indicating that he would ever become this way. --Edmund Reyes 01/23/09—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.191.69.149 (talk • contribs)

Demon-possessed, what the hell are you talking about? Babies and kids have been killed, horribly wounded and traumatized for life. Do you think this is an occasion to delve into fairy-tales? I'm sure there is a reason why someone turns into a .. I'm at at loss to describe this .. thing ... but it has nothing to do with little ferrets, I can tell you that much. --77.75.161.35 09:05, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Sounds like you have a point. So I suppose all that needs to be done now is to purge that demon and let the poor chappie go free with a pat on the back. --121.44.136.106 12:49, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

The world has gone to shit!

enough said!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.87.94.130 (talk • contribs)

I wouldn't dismiss the occult either...

When I'd first read about the killer putting black make-up around his eyes, I immediately thought about the make-up Black Metal musicians frequently employ on album covers and live performances. Some of those guys worship Satan, old Norse gods, etc, and a few of them are convicted murderers. Just thought it might be a possibility. 99.155.19.14 17:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I heard he also had cereals for breakfast!!!1 I HAD CHEERIOS !!!WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME?????omgwtf??--77.75.161.35 06:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

When I saw this post it reminded me of the parents back in the 70's that blamed KISS for starting a mini-satan worshipping cult that drew in crowds of young ones. Please lets stop with the moral panic, a man stabbed infants here, the fact that he wore "make-up" is only incidental, its neither the reason nor the excuse; To take either position is to absolve his personal involvement of this aggregious crime of humanity.—70.74.228.253 18:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Of course it's a disgusting act, no matter what drove him to do it. Like I said, it's just a possibility as stated in the comments. Also, please point out where I "blamed" black metal for anything. Let's not get snotty, kids.99.155.19.14 06:45, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

An observation and I'm done for the night. Mr. 77.75.161.35, near the top of the comments page, you said something to the effect of wanting to know the killer's motive. I'll let you think about that one. 99.155.19.14 07:06, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
