I can't help but to feel sorry for Mitchell  Johnson.
Nothing can excuse what he did but I know he was a victim of molestation in his background and somehow he seemed like a very troubled kid.Unlike Golden he seemed show some remorse and it seemed sincere at least on the surface. He seemed to have a very hard time adjusting to life in society after spending most of his teen years in jail.

I hear yea. He spent so many formative years in jail learning how to be a thug (bc the American prison system is a joke). When he got out he got busted for pot and having a handgun if my memory is correct. He should have known better, but I don't know if he was the savage murderer he was when he went on that massacre as a kid.

I was just thinking that both Johnson and Golden were extremely lucky that the law in Arkansas was what it was at the time(killers under age 14 had to be offered parole by 18 or 21, I forget which) or they'd both be in prison for life.
I hope that Johnson can get out of jail and will have a fresh start to make a good life for himself.

It's really amazing how young they were. In category all their own.
