My example of the Bulger child horror though demonstrates that premeditated evil exists in children regardless of guns. Whether this kid had premeditated motives based on the fact he wrote a suicide note remains undecided. I think it was more a case of 'I hat you and I wish you dead' <<Bam>> 'oh shit, what have I done'.
