for i cannot forgive myself on investigation it was found that the bodies were shot several times
it could have been a lot worse he told police he killed them because he didn't want them to
know about his upcoming massacre in a columbine style attack that he and a friend had planned
he was sentenced to life in prison at eight is austin jones another youtuber that exploited his
popularity jones admitted encouraging six underage girls to send him sexually explicit videos in
private messages telling some they needed to prove that they were his biggest fans he was 26 years

was not an isolated act and that reset enacted cruel behaviors towards vulnerable victims
