An update on the Amish Slayer…
New light has been shed on this asshole that shot 10 kids within a one-room Amish Schoolhouse. "Neighbors say they had no clue Charles Carl Roberts IV had demons lurking inside, neither did his family."
DEMONS, HU? Well, lets look at the latest and greatest on this guy.
· "The truck driver rang his wife minutes before the shootings, admitting to molesting young family members 20 years ago and dreamed of doing it again. The 32-year-old said there was something else that happened 20 years ago, which he would not reveal. He was also traumatized by the death of his baby daughter, who died 20 minutes after she was born nine years ago."
· "Despite his talk of molestation, though, and the discovery that he had sexual lubricant and flex-ties with him, police have no evidence that any of the victims were sexually abused, State Police Commissioner Jeffrey B. Miller said."
· "Authorities Tuesday discussed Roberts' tormented existence, a reality that included anguish over the loss of a child, as well as talk of child molestation."
· A quote, apparently in the shooter's note to his wife "We had so many good memories together as well as the tragedy with Elise. It changed my life forever I haven't been the same since it affected me in a way I never felt possible. I am filled with so much hate, hate toward myself hate towards God and unimaginable emptyness it seems like everytime we do something fun I think about how Elise wasn't here to share it with us and I go right back to anger."

3:00 Arrives home from work
7:30 Gets children ready for school with wife
8:45 Walks children to bus stop
9:00 Wife leaves house for prayer group
9:14 Buys eye bolts, zip ties and hardware from store
10:00 Arrives at West Nickel Mines Amish School
10:30 Teacher calls authorities
10:50 Calls wife, stated "I am not coming home. The police are here"
Ok, so this guy molested a young family member, or members when he was 12 years old. He apparently was having dreams and thoughts about molesting children and felt the need to do it again. Personally, I cannot fathom what it feels like to have this so called "feeling" or "need", I never could understand how someone can stomach even the thought of hurting a child in this way, or in any way for that matter. He also lost a daughter that was born premature. Although this holds a bit more merit for being, for lack of a better word, disturbed, he still had three perfectly healthy children.
Evidently, in the same letter to his wife, he was quoted as saying "I don't know how you put up with me all those years. I am not worthy of you, you are the perfect wife you deserve so much better." To be brutally honest here, I couldn't agree more. In my humble opinion, this guy was a selfish and spineless bastard. Selfish for what he has done the schoolgirls, selfish for what has done to the family's effected, selfish for the long lasting effects left on the rest of the class, selfish for not asking for prefessional help, selfish for what this has done to the community and mostly selfish for what this will do to his own surviving children. Yet, most of all, he was spineless for taking his own life. A weakminded, egotistical and gutless pedophile want-to-be.
As for those among us that think things would have been differient if guns were illegal... I truly believe that people in this state of mind would find anything to commit their crimes. If not guns, then a knife, or a razorblade/box cutter. Hell, even a few screwdrivers used in the correct way could have done the same damage in nearly the same amout of time. I know this is now a coined phrase, and I hate to use it, but it fits perfectly. Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Removing guns from the equation will not eliminate opportunity, period!
