I read someplace that the family has forgiven the monster for killing their elderly father.

 

 

I don't think that I could do that.

 

 

I would have to be good and angry for a long time first.

 

Perhaps for a very long time, before I even entertained the idea of forgiveness.


He has a very large family, it may depend on which member that was interviewed.

 

If I remember correctly in the shooting at the church in SC, I believe some family members forgave the shooter fairly soon afterward.  Not sure I would be that forgiving either.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

I'm sure that their faith plays in to forgiving the monster, but even the most faithful, devout, religious person can struggle with forgiving someone for doing something so heinous.

Didn't realize you were qualified to making that diagnosis.  

 

It is views like these that stop people from seeking help till sadly it is to late.


He's not crazy.  He's mean.

@CrazyDaisy - No excuse for what he did and the way he recorded it all.  It was cold-blooded murder.  Period.

 

(And, believe me, it's being covered in excruciating detail on every channel, local or national.)


I never excused his actions nor the need for an appropiate punishment.  Just not going to make that leap till all the facts are in.


@CrazyDaisy, it was "he" who uploaded the video of himself shooting and killing a man; what facts need to come in?  That he's a murderer?  The only thing I'd care to know about him at this time is WHY.  IF HIS ANGER WAS DIRECTED TOWARD OTHERS, why didn't he attempt to do harm to them?

While the selection of Godwin was random, some of Stevie Steve's actions appeared calculating and manipulating.  The video he posted of himself talking about how he snapped almost seemed like he was trying to come up with a plausible defense for himself rather than a true confession.  Will be interesting to see how this all unfolds.  Some websites have shared tidbits about him that could suggest other motives, so anything could be happening behind the scenes.

I agree.  I hope they corner him and shoot him the way he did that poor old man.

Erie police have confirmed the suicide in Erie on Tuesday of Steve Stephens, the Cleveland resident suspected of fatally shooting a Cleveland man on Sunday and posting video of the slaying on Facebook.

 

Stephens died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound while driving a white Ford Fusion near Buffalo Road and Downing Avenue around 11:10 a.m., police said.

 

State police were following the car as it headed west into Erie, according to dispatchers.

The car, pointed west, is stopped in the westbound lane of Buffalo Road, across from the former Burton Elementary School, 1660 Buffalo Road. Police are blocking off the entire school grounds. Erie police are also at the scene.
