It's just very sad he couldn't get the help he truly needed and now will potentially live a very long life in a prison cell! Maybe the parents should get the same life sentence for creating the monster Ethan turned out to be!

[@melodywilliams9124]

It's those antipsychotics he is most certainly on

[@FourHuskyHomestead]

The parents provided the weapons and didn’t get him help. They encouraged his thought process. And yes his meditations would have caused weight gain. Hopefully he is beginning to think like a normal person. He needs to spend the rest of his life getting to know Jesus.

[@allisonjames2923]

Does he though? I wonder if the Freudian slip at 01:34 where he said “I want the people I’ve hurt to have a final sense of culpability” actually shows his true feelings. It could have just been an error of not knowing what it means, or maybe it’s what he truly wanted to say when he wasn’t giving an obligatory “I’m sorry” speech in hopes that his sentence would be reduced.

That what judge said about it. He cannot contact anybody or the students at Oxford high school. Nobody! He will spend for the rest of his life in prison without possibility of parole. Bye bye!!

[@nivekyentrouc1200]

Very popular to hate this kid but if I ever saw someone who was bullied relentlessly in school it was him. This poor kid was harassed until he couldn't take it anymore. His parents failed him, they should have enrolled him in a gym and had a trainer build some muscle on him or put him in a karate school but instead, the fools bought him a gun. The school failed him because they allow bullies to harass weaker kids, the school is as much to blame as anyone. I know this because I was as skinny as a death camp survivor and I was bullied at school. I thank God I didn't have access to a gun or I'd be in the same spot.

[@nothanks8368]

He wasn't bullied, but he was mentally ill

[@LR-ee2uu]

Looks like he's already been locked up in McDonalds for quite a while.

[@ChorizoCentauri]

That wasn't "chilling", Law & Crime Network should stop click baiting and stick to the basic headline.

[@SimoneReyes]

The horror the victims endured and the torture of the baby birds will haunt me forever. I can’t believe the absolute nightmare - the poor humans and animals he is responsible for torturing and killing. No words.

[@georgewolfiii1170]

What a terribly sad case.

[@jackmundo4043]

The brain of a child. Diminished capacity no doubt.

[@stellaallbright4750]

The fact that boy still lives and breathes after extinguishing so many innocent lives is what is truly chilling. While he may have received multiple life sentences, he will get off every single day reliving both the horrific atrocities he inflicted on innocents and every moment of the trial. May the hearts of all who've experienced loss find peace in the memories of lives well lived and loved. 🌈💔💜

Great Judge. I have no words 💔

I have some 4 or five letter words for Ethan, by I would get attacked by KZbin if I said it

[@ER-xl6cs]

"I'm a piece of crap. Throw me away." Ok

[@clover1az49]

His parents didn’t think he needed mental health accommodations. I think that was more destructive than the weapon purchases. They thought that any talk of a mental health illness was nothing more than a fluke. Screw them for failing that child.

[@ChrisTessmer]

He's clearly been eating well in jail.

[@gabez8]

The judge is so graceful

[@LindaDavis-iq9zj]

Excellent Judge! Very well said, the details. Restitution needs to be huge.

[@allisonjames2923]

01:34 “I want the people I’ve hurt to have a final sense of culpability” - Freudian slip or does he just not know the meaning of the word “culpability”?

[@user-se4qo3zc6m]

Guess he meant closure

[@MrTebrown]

I think he means his own culpability. The statement was almost certainly written by his attorney.

[@mrx1278]

Come on, Oxford is not a school that is famous for a proliferation of well-rounded student attendees... I would surmise he doesn't know the meaning or how to use the word in a sentence

All I want is for the people to have a final sense of culpability ?!?! 😳 1:35 then proceeds to blame himself ….🤦🏾‍♂️ using words incorrectly trying to sound smart 😂

[@willwhitman717]

I noticed that. His statement felt very contrived. It was not well written.

[@mkay3310]

"Life without the possibility of parole, credit for 5 days served." How does that work?

[@Kaiyats]

So when he was arrested he was held in a jail and not convicted here he is found guilty and sentenced so they credited the time he spent in custody 8 days before he was sentenced to life Doesn’t really make sense in this case but say you were in jail for a month or even a year and sentenced to 5 years that time is credited as served. But legally it’s applied

[@hoptoit5910]

1:34 he wants his victims to have “a final sense of culpability?? I’m hoping he just worded that incorrectly and meant ‘culpability’ on his part

[@czickgraf]

This whole thing is terrible. I blame his parents.

What a waste of precious lives.💔 Heartbroken for the innocent victims. His parents are responsible as well-they ignored his pleas for help, provided the weapon & were too busy to take him out of school when they should have. This whole thing is so sad-may the victims rest in peace.🤍

Crumbley couldn’t even say that he shot people, that he killed people - in his mind, he’s just “a bad person but he’s trying to be a better person.” Thank you, Judge. This is a sentence that completely aligns with the crime. May you be blessed all your days on the bench.
