THE DAY THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

Steve woke up to the sight of the alarm turning 8. He

got ready in 5 minutes and left to school. His face was bruised

and he was given faces by everyone in school. Everyone were

scared to go near him including Joshua. When they enquired

what happened, Steve just replied that he fell off the stairs.

One of his bullies then stood up and screamed "Steve is

a coward that he got his face fucked up from a staircase fall".

Everybody in the class started laughing. This was the breaking

point for Steve. It was at this moment he realised silence isn't

always the answer and he broke. He took a Beretta pistol from

his bag (that he stole from his father) and closed his eyes. He

saw his bully right in the eyes and without second thought he

took the leap of faith. The room was pitch silent with laughters

turning to silent prayers. The English teacher which Steve hated,

tried to take away his gun. He swifty turns the gun to the teacher

and shoots her in the head. He then shoots the bully and 2 of his

classmates. He loathed the sight of blood and wanted for more.

He then spares his other classmates and says "Call the police

and tell them to pick me up at my house, and don't worry I don't

want to kill you". He goes to his house which is 5 mins from his

school with a blood stained uniform. He bangs on the door and

his mother opens. He shoots her right in the head. He then

reloaded the guns bullets and takes the sharpestknife from the

kitchen table and went on to his dad's bedroom. He sees his dad

kneeling down and praying and crying, holding a picture of his

family within his palm. Before he could even think, he shoots his

dad and stabs him multiple times upto the point he lost his

breath. Steve saw his hands were filled with blood and he held

on to his fathers arms for some time and he saw the picture

within his father's palm. He was overwhelmed and started to

panic. He finally blacked out with the sound of the siren in the

background. The police entered the house and saw both of them

dead and took Steve to the station.

AT THE POLICE STATION:

Steve was taken to the interrogation room and he was

handcuffed to the chair and was unconscious. He woke up and

the police swifty made thier move into the room. Two police

officers entered into the room and interrogated him about the

incident.

Steve started crying as he was afraid not realising not

what he did. From the films he watched he realised that

anything he says will be used against him and he didn't trust the

police either. So he kept quiet and the police were infuriated.

With no further adieu, he was taken to a trial the next day. He

spent the night in jail with two other large sized men who were

inmates who bullied him and tortured him.

AT THE TRIAL:

Steve was charged with first degree murder with 5

counts of murder for the murder of three children and three

adults. The news spread like wildfire and the entire nation was

disgusted with what happened. The judge looked at Steve right

in the eye and asked him if he had anything to say to the court

before the verdict. He was live televised and the entire country

was watching his testimony.

Steve was silent and then as the judge was about to

move on; Steve started to say,

"All my life I was living in fear of hurting any person I knew and

so I always became accustomed being the oppressed. Everything

began when my mom scolded me for watching a film. You guys

get it? A fuckin movie. Anything what I did was a consequence

of my oppression and bullying. I was physically and emotionally

abused by my father and mother. I was bullied at school almost

every day. I was beaten up by everyone I know. I don't know

what I felt at that moment I pulled the trigger, but I can sure say

that I'm relieved my parents are dead and my bully got what he

fucking deserved. And I don't plead guilty, dear judge. I was

being oppressed and if this is the only way I can feel heard then

so be it. Empathy is something every human being deserves. A

small act of empathy would've avoided all this from happening,

yet nobody cared enough to help me when I desperately needed

help.

(Looks straight at the camera)

I declare this a wake up call to every parent who ever imagined

to even touch their children and abuse them. You better watch

out you sick psychopathic assholes. Judge with all due respect,

my parents had it coming but it was the guys at school that

unnecessarily came in the way. That's all I have to say"

The judge hits the gavel three times, as the entire court

gasped in disbelief with what they're witnessing. The police

made everyone quiet and amongst all this darkness, was Steve's

psychotic smirk which terrified not only the court but the entire

nation.

The judge finally passed the verdict,

"Being a mother of two, there's nothing scarier than imagining

the thought of seeing your child for the last time. At the same

time, abuse is real, irrespective of the gender, age, sex or any

discrimination. As per the perpetrator's claim to be a victim,

may or may not be true, it doesn't justify to the slightest bit to

ruthlessly kill them and stab them 45 times. It isn't the work of a

child or a victim but the makings of a clear psychopath who

needs help. Though the perpetrator's 13 years old, he has done

an unforgivable crime and made it insufferable to the families of

the victims.

(Looks at Steve)

Bearing in mind your claim as a victim of physical abuse and

your age being a minor, I hope you heal and become better. With

the collaborative decision of the jury, I hereby sentence A.J. Steve

Marshall to 5 years in Juvenile prison in California and 20 years

in Texas county jail. I truly wish from the bottom of my heart

you would change and contemplate about your life decisions

and reconcile with your innocence. For the casualties caused, the

court offers an amount of $1000 dollars to the families of each of

the victims. "
