A 15-year-old boy told Mesa police he shot his father in the back of the head last month because he wouldn't let the teenager use the Internet, saying My Space was his outlet.
When Hughstan Schlicker heard officers talking about the investigation, he responded, "Dad came home, I shot him in the head, what investigation?" according to a Mesa police report released Wednesday.
Almost laughing, the teen told police, "along with murder, can you put me down for truancy, I ditched today," the report said. "Can we clean up this before my mom gets home, I don't want her to come home and see my dad dead."
Later, he told detectives he was angry with his father but couldn't remember the reason. "But I was mad at him very much and I wish I could take everything back; I wish this was a bad dream but it's not."

4. Locking up the "many guns" in the house may have helped too. n/t

13. Another reason I support
Gun control. More guns in more hands is dangerous.
One true believer in socialism.

3. Kid's got a major screw loose
National health care with mental health care might have kept his dad alive.
Then this.

17. Kid sounds remarkably tuned in to the American zeitgeist
He wanted something and was willing to use any means at his disposal, even killing, to get it. That's completely in line with current U.S. policy as practiced by the Bush administration. Insane? Hell, young Hughstan should probably receive one of Bush's Presidential Medals of Freedom.
And on top of it all, he appears to be very solicitous of his mother's feelings, and knows how finding her husband dead on the floor would upset her. The military should hire him to do a recruiting spot.
This is evidence of the pure evil that haunts DU.
I cannot think of another term to use for it.
