'Tremendous, tremendous shame and guilt.' Kip Kinkel, who killed his parents before going on a shooting rampage at his Oregon high school in 1998, killing two classmates and injuring 25 more, has given his first news interview.

Just using the word “tremendous” is vile! That word has been used up, spit out & is a sin. It’s a shame what’s happened w/ that word.

Yep and let me out .

Hopefully, by sharing his story of tremendous shame and guilt will prevent future acts of violence.

Never trust anything in Oregon that begins with Ks. They love that crap. Places called “Kountry Korner”. There’s an obvious reason for it too.

How’s this man still alive 🤦‍♂️

Killed his parents...who gon pay for your commissary?

He is paying the due penalty for his crimes.

Intriguing interview. But we need a psychiatrist's opinion to balance it. Hard to gauge the self-interest and/or the self-pity if Kinkel is the only source.

Why are they interviewing him? He’s a criminal who killed innocent people with clear intent to kill and ruined a lot of lives. Let him rot in prison.

Why do we care?

Should have used his FreeWill to refrain

Why is he still breathing, to begin with

Curious if his reasons are the same as today’s shooters. We keep thinking the times are changing but it doesn’t seem like it’s gotten any better.

I hope his despair only increases through time.

“believing China was going to invade the U.S. and that the government and the Walt Disney Co. had implanted a microchip in his head” sounds like all Republicans

I find it sad, and disturbing at the majority of these comments. He has schizophrenia that was undiagnosedat the time and off his meds for a few weeks. Since when did it become the norm to treat the mentally ill as if they deserve to die when they go off the rails?

Mental health awareness is important or these incidents will continue.

That’s right…put a microphone in the face of a mass shooter/murderer while the US is currently in the grips of a record number of mass shootings…🤦🏾‍♀️. The media can really be awful at times. If only his “tremendous shame and guilt” could bring his classmates back…

Journalistically, I’m not sure this article has value. I wouldn’t have taken a narrative approach — should have been a news story reporting that the regulation is not retroactive. Quote from the guy, maybe, but not the space he was given.

Who cares. Let him rot in prison, don’t give him the attention.

I hope he's sincere and not just angling for an early release. It's right he remain jailed for the parricide, student murders, and wounding of so many.

I was shaken by the tragedy of this when I watched the Frontline story about him 20 years ago

why is he still alive?

I hope he does feel tremendous shame and guilt... as the noose is tightening.

*shrugs*

is this really the best time for a story like this? You want copycats?

Interesting interview. Did any of you actually read it or rush straight to the comments section instead?

I don't care if he feels guilt. What he feels is irrelevant, nor does he deserve a platform or an interview. Why are you giving these people attention? All you're doing, is telling other people if you commit mass murder, we'll turn you into a celeb.

Bitcoin fixes this

Why interview him?

Tough shit

Let me guess, poor, white, misunderstood kid? Media rehab for pinkie domestic terrorist

Why give this person press

who the fuck gave this dude an interview?

The shame is not him giving the interview but the media giving him an interview!

What's done is done. There's no sorry good enough for what he did. Who really cares if he's 'sorry' or not? Those people are dead either way. Last thing anyone cares to hear is anything from him.

fuck his regret. Why give any voice to people like this?

Why doesn’t anyone want to listen to a psychopath

Should be 6 ft in the ground
