I of course now must wonder if Glenn ever taught Him? Some of the various papers are making that link– student kills teacher. How else would there paths have ever crossed, at the Dairy Queen (where they are holding His job for him – good for the corporate image)? I imagine His fourteen year old girlfriend taking a line from Parker Posey in Waiting For Guffman, “We’ll always have the DQ.” Glenn liked to walk his dog in town. Did they stop in for ice cream? This is something the family has a hard time with, amid all of it, here is this sweet dog that wouldn’t hurt a fly standing by in the house while Glenn is killed. When people move too quickly around me, when people hug me, Sebastian is immediately on guard. If you have never been in my house and seek to enter it when I am not there, you will not come in, Sebastian will not permit it. Would that Glenn’s sweet natured dog have had another nature – but with Glenn’s nature, one can understand it. The CNN headline was Student Flunks his Murder Test – has Fox News style won over even CNN? Too many action film one line quips for that journalistic haven, small boxes of thought like Chinese takeout – packaged in familiar “teacher killed by student narrative”, “arrogant star preys on weak to see if he can” narrative, “eagle scout uses paramilitary training in knife and gun to kill innocent – serial killer badge considered” the last one is a less told narrative.
