Horrifying Audio of Man Killing Unarmed Teens Released By Court

[onehandle]

This Is Gun Culture...

Byron Smith waited in his basement with energy bars and bottled water. When the boy and girl snuck into his house, he stood his ground. Fired. Again. And again. Over their bodies. Over her screams. Then he delivered a five-minute vigilante tirade over the corpses. We know this, because he recorded it all:

Smith, 65, says he was defending his Little Falls, Minnesota, home that Thanksgiving in 2012. His castle. But he crowed gleefully for the deaths of 17-year-old Nick Brady and 18-year-old Haile Kifer, shooting them again after they were down, just to be sure, blotting out her voice with his shots and calling her a "bitch."

On the basis of that recording—embedded below—and the fact that he dragged the bodies into a tarp so as to avoid blood on his carpet, he is now serving life for first-degree murder. And if his actions and words don't make you wonder whether America's penchant for paranoia and armaments has gotten out of hand, nothing will.

1. If he was really interested in stopping crime instead of thrill killing, he would

have called the cops and let the system take care of it.

They'd be in jail and he'd be at home.

Long on hate, short on brains, and his tie is too short.

2. That man is a sicko

That said don't break into other peoples houses.

3. Congratulations, NRA. He spewed all your talking points.

Disgusting.

4. I can see the aura of hate and evil radiating from that POS.

Put him away for the rest of his life.
