I hadn't read them previous to this post, but I've just had a look. There's no need to tear them apart as they speak for themselves. They read like... well, something you'd expect from an iliterate teenager.
I'd like to say that this shows he was quite clearly unhinged, but there are horror writers who day in day out write about flaying, rape, murder etc, who are all perfectly regular people. Unfortunately, some of the writing that gets published in certain places is of a similar calibre to this.
My main concern is that people look to music, writing, films for a scapegoat when this kind of thing happens, and this gives them ample backing for their arguments.
