[@voteZDLR]

The fact that Michael was able to get into the locked bathroom by pleading with the two children inside who had locked themselves there by telling them Robert was trying to kill him, too, is one of the saddest and most chilling things about this to me. Here they are thinking they're rescuing their big brother, and just as they open the door to let him inside they see he's suited up with a knife just like the other one. The betrayal and level of fear they must have felt. That's just heartbreaking to me.

[@gandymancan3460]

Oh my God yes, its absolutely unreal. Its also hard to believe one or both don't suffer some yet to be diagnosed disorders.

[@voteZDLR]

@@gandymancan3460 Of the two of them I strongly, emphatically believe that the older brother was the one who was truly fucked up. In Michael's case, he was I think the 2nd oldest and probably enjoyed a different kind of relationship with his older brother than his younger siblings. Even willing to do just about anything (apparently) for them. I think it was the older brother's idea and I do think he is almost certainly schizophrenic among other things. His interview wasn't ever even released most likely because it was shorter. He likely was just like "Yes, we did it. Why? We wanted to. Period." Michael I think just got sucked into it, but left to his own devices and if the older brother either wasn't crazy or wasn't in the picture at all, I doubt Michael would have ever done something like this on his own. I could be wrong though. It was probably just pitched to him like "Hey, wanna do something fun?" and then Michael's like "Sure, like what?" and then of course he reveals his grand master plan, which involved more dead people after the family was taken care of first. Truly disturbing. You have to remember as well, they were homeschooled. So it's like, they existed in their own little world almost, keeping almost entirely to themselves which I do think breeds a certain sense of sociopathy in certain individuals because they simply cannot relate to others, particularly strangers, as effectively as they might had they been sent to the public or private school system like most kids.

The interview... That police man was brilliant. It must take a lot of determination, professionalism, and mental strenght to do that interview and keep the flow going. Being agreeable, understanding, talking like it is a casual and normal conversation, just because you want him to talk and know every little detail. He had a pause only when that monster casually answered that his 9 year old brother was not saying nothing while he was stabbing him, just, you know, screaming....

Agreed. He looked to me like he was struggling through some of that interview, as you would, but he did a sterling job. In fact, I notice that the police very often (though not always) seem to be able to project a very lighthearted kind of approach when interviewing monstrous types, very polite and friendly. I don't know how they keep their shit together, knowing what's just happened and what the scum across from them have just done. And with kids it would be so much harder. Credit to them.

[@amiematthews6469]

@Blue Moon WTF does Twitter have to do with anything?!? You’re being a touch dramatic with the police defense aren’t you? She literally said “thank god for the police” first. That you consider her questioning a blanket praise of police on a holy level (Thank God) to be police bashing is utterly ridiculous! Just as many other people have done, many police officers have committed atrocious crimes against humanity because they believed themselves to not only be above the law but to be the law itself! Judge, jury and executioner! That is not to say that good cops don’t exist. But there is a wariness that also exists. A downright fear that was created by cops that thrive on the power of control and the power of hate. They are the ones you should be looking at and blaming for a loss of trust. Taking a benign statement and turning it into a “bashing” statement only makes you a big part of the problem. There is NO group in society, not even cops, in which evil does not exist somewhere. Pretending that cops have all been right in their actions is only dividing us further. Your attitude is the same one held by most members of the catholic church in regards to priests! That attitude of denial is why thousands of children were/are assaulted sexually by the priests! No one wants to accept that positions of trust attract some of the most evil that humanity has to offer! We have to stop the denial so that the many cops who are fucking heroes can get the honor and recognition they deserve without being tainted by the shitty ones.

Demonic possession

[@Jay22222]

I want to preface by saying that I'm in ZERO way defending any of the actions of people like this, but I'm starting to think the whole "lack of emotion" thing is a bit of a red herring. Deliberately misleading and often used manipulatively. I'm not implying any of that applies to you or had anything to do with your intentions. I think by sentencing day, let's say anywhere between 6-18 months since the offence. That's anywhere between 180-540 days spent in a place that is hell on earth. Borderline impossible to describe, incomparable to anything you or anyone has as a frame of reference for and unless you (You being the offernder in this scenario) have been to jail before, is totally incomprehensible. A place near specifically designed not only to break you psychologically. But also where you witness and live 24 hours a day, shows of emotion of any kind can literally cost people their lives. Whether in a dorm with 100 others, 8 man, 4, 2 or permanently isolated for protection. You have spent more hours analysing second by second of the past, the decision, the lead up, atrocities committed and what followed than your lawyer has spent thinking about all his defendants combined. The only time you've had away from that environment Has been in court having every second deconstructed under a microscope, in the only place on par or perhaps even more inhospitable to shows of emotion than jail has been. People have come and gone but you remain. The only fixture that isn't employed to be there. Witnesses and jurors may have outbursts emotion, deservedly so, that comes and goes but by that time you are so desensitised and not only that but you HAVE to be composed. You've witnessed someone else come a cropper each and every time you've got on the bus to court as a direct result of a show of emotion by either the defendant or the judge and as for lack of emotion in police interviews, I would suggest that you already have had to practice supressing all emotion to get to the point of committing whatever act, followed by having to examine and come to terms with what you've done and waiting to be caught, then overwhelmed by the turn your life has now taken because of your choice. I'm not arguing that there aren't nutters out there who are entirely incapable of emotion and are totally unhinged and detached from reality, but the more I think about it, the more I can't help but think, emotion shown under the circumstances seems potentially less healthy and more unnatural than it would be to (EDIT: 'fall apart. I meant to write stonewall and completely turn off emotion. As explained, you'd be pretty good at by now. And I would like to add, For all that you've witnessed, you also can't forget the number of times you did allow yourself to crack and fall to pieces and the entirety of everyone that witnessed it. Think "peeing your pants at school" except your teacher carries a mini 14, your classmates are people you've witnessed or at least are aware have literally snuffed the life out of people superior to you in EVERY aspect that counts. Done so Potentially IN YOUR new home and bed and then gone back to eating or writing a letter to their mother, followed by extreme and violent carnal relations with their favourite unwilling participant. (Probably a bit exaggerated for pre-trial, but would be in no way uncommon to experience in the 180-540 days post sentencing.) I think their sentencing day photos reiterate my last point there with a poeticness the likes of which, I could only dream. Do you think he chose that haircut?) Does this make sense to anyone else and does anyone else see where I'm coming from or even agrees to an extent. It's just a thought.

If you watch the bald detective closely, you can see at certain points where he is struggling to maintain his composure (at least that's my interpretation). At some points he looks like he will break down, at others, he looks like he's in utter disbelief, and at others, he looks like he's in pain for the child sitting before him. The man is so strong. I don't know how he got through that. I hope he's doing okay. What an interview to have to do.

[@GhostDrummer]

When I was working as a correctional deputy, there were days/nights where I got off work and couldn’t even explain what I just dealt with for the past 12-16 hours. I’ve had to process the suspects when they were brought to the jail, and I’ve heard first hand and saw pics/videos of the crime scenes. DUI suspects who caused fatalities were probably the worst. We couldn’t tell they anything while they were still in “sobering”. Due to legal reasons, we couldn’t book them until they cleared sobering with a breathalyzer (.08 or lower) and medical (not all dui’s are alcohol related). Most started figuring out what happened the more sober they became. This could make it difficult to process them because the suspects would sometimes start crying and wailing uncontrollably or become violent towards the deputies and technicians. Fortunately the jail I worked at had four single booking rooms with reinforced windows, so the techs didn’t have the threat of physical harm. They did however have to deal with screaming, crying, smells, and the occasional jack-hole trying to spit through the small pass-thru for paperwork. I was medically retired out in 2013 after five years due to injuries from fighting with an inmate, and there are still stories that I’ve never told anyone. People say I’m just making stuff up because they can’t comprehend what goes on inside those walls.

I swear sometimes it’s the teenage killers who are the most brutal and sadistic

[@wayside5182]

It's cause they have a idealistic idea of what a serial killer does and don't think on the not getting caught part of their crimes

There's a reason why My Chemical Romance sang "Teenagers scare the living sh*t out of me"

[@Cat-tastrophee]

They have the ability to execute terrible acts like adults, but don't have the long-term awareness of consequences because their frontal lobe isn't fully developed. It's a very dangerous combination.

[@agaspversilia]

Well, the brain of teenagers is still not properly wired. That’s why teenagers, most of them, tend to do hugely stupid stuff all the time

[@lumenpierce8583]

Apparently during puberty you feel less empathy. Maybe that’s why they’re more brutal and sadistic.

@@scathatch dude, you’re spot on. In one of the first clips with this bald-headed Cop-Einstein, his body language speaks *volumes* about this man’s willpower and wit. In this clip, he gets a taste of the unadulterated HORROR that is about to be described to him, in detail. He then lets out an awkward, guttural noise - like he’s “clearing his throat”. From what we’re shown, from that moment on: *this fucking guy* channeled all that disgust into getting these kids convicted. He remained impressively *stoic* utilizing psychology and a little charm to get the Wittle Lispy Boy locked away. *Forever.* That’s what made this tragedy worth learning about.

[@valeriemodreski5260]

This is one of the most traumatic stories you've reported. I almost can't deal with how he tricked his little brother out of his safe place only to kill him.... Robert may be the obvious mastermind, but what Michael did was maniacal, psycho and makes him seriously dangerous...and if you think about it, Michael is the one who started it all by saying "Should we do it now?" when his sister came into their room

[@Mario7p]

that's how sidekicks act. they want the approval of their "master" so they read into his desires and try to appeal to that. that was he was doing I think, he was just a underdeveloped kid with no personality. not taking away from his guilt, but I don't think he would've become a murderer if not for his bro, while the bro has the manic eyes that tell me he would've killed sooner or later in any kind of setting. look at the detention images, the younger looks in shock while the older looks delighted.

[@pretzelmaker3122]

@@Mario7p Yeah, I don't really know if we need to discern that. A sidekick is just as dangerous since there are plenty of people running around that enjoy taking advantage and controlling those people. I don't think you are less guilty just because you are easily swayed. He doesn't describe a situation in which he is beholden to his brother or somehow feels he "needs" to listen to him. It sounds like he wanted to do it, to help his brother. That is just as bad. Who goes around murdering their own family because their favorite brother says it would be awesome? Just, no.

[@B4466]

Michael seems the more cunning of the two cz he kept putting the blame on his brother and said he did everything out of fear of Robert. He's a weasel. Also used a ruse to get his two younger siblings out of their hiding place in the bathroom then did it again with Daniel. I feel that he is more dangerous than Robert.

[@adalavin8648]

I'm from Broken Arrow. This senseless murder upset the community to say the least. The sisters that survived changed their names and are adopted. The older girl is in therapy. The father had already intercepted one shipment of ammo that the boys had ordered. The father got really mad at the boys when he found the ammo and they got in a lot of trouble over it. That was one reason they decided to go ahead and attack the family. That part was on our local news. Needless to say those two are where they belong for the rest of their lives. Just a side note. Michael probably couldn't have pens or pencils because he had tried to kill himself once already. Hence the crayons.

[@JoeL-ji7uw]

Any idea where they were planning on getting the guns? Ammo is able to be purchased and sent right to your house. But guns ordered online have to be sent to a licensed gun dealer like a gun store or something. Then you can't just pick them up. You have to pass a background check and theres also a waiting peroid. So were they planning on getting them at a gun store? Did their parents have guns?

[@adalavin8648]

No I don't. But they might have been planning on using their fathers. These two may have had plans for printable 3D guns. But I don't know about that. That's just a guess on my part but it makes sense because both were under age at the time.
