Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, 32, was shot in the head in 2022 while he slept at an RV park in Nixon, Texas, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of San Antonio, investigators said. He had just moved in a few days before.

The boy’s possible connection to the case was uncovered after sheriff’s deputies were contacted on April 12 of this year about a student who threatened to assault and kill another student on a school bus. They learned the boy had made previous statements that he had killed someone two years ago.

The boy was taken to a child advocacy center, where he described for interviewers details of Rasberry’s death “consistent with first-hand knowledge” of the crime, investigators said.

Psychopathic behavior. Only thing to do would be lifetime commitment.

[-] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 6 points 6 months ago

Sure you meant lifetime free mental services in response to something a 7 YEAR OLD did

Oh, man, if only there was a cure for idiocy...

[-] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Amazing that you know so much about this child's medical diagnoses. Where are you getting this information?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

The fact that he straight up killed a guy he did not know and had no contact with. That's classic psychopathic behavior.

Follow that with threatening to kill another kid at school and bragging about how he already killed someone already.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

what are the main elements of psychopathic behavior? surely it isn't about how much contact you have with the guy you kill. what in particular about that behavior is psychopathic?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

https://www.healthline.com/health/psychopath

behavior that conflicts with social norms - Yes

disregarding or violating the rights of others - Yes

inability to distinguish between right and wrong - Yes

difficulty with showing remorse or empathy - Yes

tendency to lie often - Unknown, but likely.

manipulating and hurting others - Yes.

recurring problems with the law - Yes.

general disregard toward safety and responsibility - Yes.

expressing anger and arrogance on a regular basis - Yes.

So out of 7 categories, this kid hits 6 of them.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

doesn't look like a list made for a 7 year old.

didn't say it can't; this has nothing to do with my comment

[-] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Ah, so you're just full of shit and diagnosing someone you've never met with credentials you do not have.

I thought I was going crazy haha. Adults don't even always do life for murder.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago

For the grandfather, I assume you mean?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

The grandfather is not the psychopath here.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 6 months ago

He kept the murder weapon as a loaded pistol in his glovebox and then he sold it after the murder happened, so...

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Means nothing. People in Texas keep loaded weapons and buy and sell them all the time. There's no evidence he knew what the kid did. In fact, there was very little contact between the kid and the victim, not surprising for psychopathic behavior.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 6 months ago

If you keep loaded firearms where children can find them, with or without your knowing, then you deserve to be locked up for your psychopathic behavior.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago

Locked in a glovebox and locked in a car meets the safe storage guidelines in most states.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 points 6 months ago

Yes I'm sure that's enough to keep it out of the hands of children. /s
