The 17-year-old suspect from Garwood — a son of a retired police officer and the nephew of the Westfield police chief — was charged Wednesday with the first-degree murders of Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas.
Relatives of Niiotis said the teen had been stalking her for months — something the teen suspect acknowledged on livestreams of his MLB co-op games, which attracted thousands of followers on TikTok.
A lot of unravel here.
They assume the position of the victim. The victim is not responsible for their action, they're just defending.
They love the position of power. They fetishize the power. They see that the power rules the world (which is hard to deny) and they treat it as a sacred entity, even if the power doesn't lead to the ruling. It's like the famous weird scene from Starship Troopers where kids were contributing in war by smashing small earthly roaches.
They just want to conform, to be recognized as the part of the society. They're afraid to be abandoned.
Overall, it could be 1, 2, 3, 1+2, 1+3.
