until he's on probation...
Associated Press

GREAT FALLS — A teenager accused of running down a female jogger in May in hopes of having sex with her corpse drafted a macabre list of "resolutions" more than a year earlier that included a desire to "taste human flesh" and shoot someone on a camping trip, court documents reveal.

What a freak. Makes a good case for the death penalty.

In addition to tasting human flesh and shooting someone on a camping trip, Robbins listed among his goals: "Get a driver’s license so I can do those horrible things people like to read about in the paper."

We have met the enemy....

hmmm, does he mean shoot someone who is camping or go camping and shoot someone, because if it's then second then there are plenty of dayhikers out there to take shots at.

Death penalty???

As much as this bozo deserves to be run over my a $h!twagon, I think he'd have to kill someone first.

I didn't read the link. I assumed that since he ran the jogger down in hopes of having sex with a corpse, she probably didn't live. Or has corpse got a new meaning now?

Ahh, I see. Well, I wonder what the story with his parents and childhood is?

She lived, but was really injured, broken bones, etc. You wonder what his parents were thinking prior to all this. Things were probably pretty bizzare around the house.

She was badly injured, not killed, at least not yet.

Dang Aero, the Billings Gazette gets all the good stories. I'm jealous.

And people wonder why I don't go camping with strangers I meet on the internet.

And to think there's only 900,000 people out here! Gad, we must have more nuts per capita than anywhere in the US!

Well, like all good knee jerk posters, I posted first, read second. Looks like he messed her up pretty bad. Someone should take a close look at his parents and upbringing (or lack thereof)

i'm wondering exactly the same thing, stickman. it sounds like he wanted the list to be seen by an adult other than his parents, since he did it in typing class.

He failed in the attempt, but not by much it sounds like.

I'm against the death penalty in all cases -- but not for the reasons people usually have. You're familiar with the expression "Killing's too good for 'em"?

There IS that 'cruel and unusual' thing to worry about tho'...

Parents probably denied he had anything to do with this. "Oh, our son would not do that!"

Hopefully he is tried as an adult. Letting this piece of sh%$ out to do this again would be a mistake.

only 16, good grief! you have to wonder what's happened to him to make him have thoughts like those...

Or, the kid is just plain mentally ill.

Unless the parents conspired with the kid, its the kid's fault.

They will find him ill and lock him up in the crazy house for a couple. After they think he can join the world again, he will get let out and perform one of the thing on his list. Just get rid of him now.

Sorry WK, you'd have to throw out the U.S. Constitution........or just lynch the moron.

I know. It would just be sad to see this crazy freak go free, and actually kill someone and then eat their flesh.
