Ivan’s my former classmate so please don’t leave any negative comments . he usually smiles in awkward/uncomfortable situations. he’s always smiling so please don’t hate he’s a very nice person.

[traingraff]

Hopefully this information gets put out more. People who commit evil aren’t always the one being bullied like some people automatically assume.

[elizabethmonsell]

Why would they cut off this young intelligent boy, Ivan's, interview? Let the young man, Ivan, speak and tell us his observations and insight.

[jenswrld]

is there a longer version? this guy actually sounds articulate and gives actual information

[tee]

The judicial system needs to take kids harming animals seriously. It is often a precursor for antisocial personality disorder where a person lacks a conscience and had no problem harming people including their family.

[MHiggins]

That murderer was a psychopath. The fact that he hurt animals tells a lot about him. Many sociopaths like to hurt defenseless animals before moving on to humans.

[erlineandrews]

Even if he was bullied that in no way justifies injuring or killing people.

[andrewlopez]

I’ve always hated bullies growing up. I was told that if you ignore them they’ll stop but apparently this bully found new ways to torment others

[kayt]

Rest in Peace to all the innocent children!! taken wrongly by a psychopath

[liak.]

After the killers mother said he wasn't a violent person but others knew that he would hurt animals and try to bully other people.
Sounds more like mama raised a narcissistic monster that she doesn't feel particularly responsible for.

This interview needs to be put out there more so people don't try that misunderstood loner defense with him.

If they think hurting an animal is fun, it's not long until they graduate to harming people.

[marivasquez]

Por eso deben de castigar el abuso animal, atrás de un maltratador de animales hay un asesino !

[thelucylucifer]

Even if he was bullied so what? I was bullied mercilessly all throughout grade school. Not once did I think oh yeah I’m going to commit this hideous crime. We need to stop trying to excuse this behavior

[dizdat]

If you're aware of someone abusing/killing animals, that person should be reported. Killing animals is a sign that the next victims are gonna be human beings.

I am NOT AN EXPERT. I'd like to make that clear. But I've spent years listening to and studying lectures of body language experts. It's a hobby and has helped me in my everyday life when dealing with people. And based on this very short interview, what I'm getting from this young man is he's feeling absolute disgust and seething anger. The way he keeps solid, uninterrupted eye contact with the interviewer, and even for a moment facing directly at the camera.... Makes me believe he's telling the truth. If he were making this revelation up, he wouldn't want his face directly linked to it. But the way he angled his face, he had no problem letting the entire country know he was the one exposing the shooter.

[foodidecorifashionlfun]

I wish they spoke more with this gentleman about him.

[strength]

Finally a real interview in these situations. I’m tired of the media going to these shooters being bullied. 90% of the time these shooters are they weirdest ppl ever and this is what they do.

[ffd]

Rest in peace to these people....And the problem with shootings like this is most these ppl r known to have serious problems and have made threats and nothing is done.

Saw a clip of the neighbor who said that the suspect was bullied by his friends. For some reason though, I believe this kid more than that neighbor. He said he knew the suspect well and went to school with him everyday whereas the neighbor only heard it from people. Also, it was something about the way he gave his statement that showed he wasn't completely telling the truth. Then again, who knows? Unless we were actually there to witness who bullied whom, we have no reason to make our own speculations.

[MartinsChanny]

Young guy with great attitude towards things, would not be surprised to see this man excel later in life

[cat]

They should put out the full interview from this kid.
