TJ Lane was sentenced to three life sentences without parole, plus 17 years, for the Chardon shooting in February, 2012.

In the courtroom, Lane was wearing a white t-shirt with “KILLER” written in black marker across the chest. He was smirking through the duration of the proceedings and appeared to be fending off giggles as the family members of his victims made testimonials.

In general, he seemed delighted by the prospect of his notoriety and bored by the havoc he wreaked. Lane was bopping his head, rolling his eyes, and openly smiling through much of the judge’s sentencing.

“You’re evil,” said the mother of one of the three boys killed in Lane’s rampage. “Because of you our quiet little town will never be the same again.”

The judge denied that Lane was ever mentally unstable or incompetent during the time of the incident. He said that Lane acted alone and has demonstrated and utter lack of remorse.

During his own statement, which his counsel advised against, Lane gave the courtroom the middle finger:

“This hand that pulled the trigger that killed your sons now masturbates to the memory. Fuck all of you,” Lane said.

  1. No prison…Make the bitch suffer a LOOOOOONG and painful death….220 volts every three minutes ( for the three victims) until he frys, we’ll see if he is still smirking or giving the middle finger

  2. His actions prove how mentally disturbed he is, especially since he obviously doesn’t yet realize what a trophy he’s going to be when Bubba gets ahold of him in prison.

  3. They should just kill this piece of shit in town square, a long slow torcher that takes three days.

  4. No he’s not mentally disturbed….He’s an asshole….And that attitude will get you killed in prison hopefully….

  5. This kid has to be mentally ill. Who in their right mind would do what he did and then come into court with that t-shirt and act the way he did. He is very sick.

  6. They should atleast put him in regular prison or general population to suffer wile other inmates give him the finger thand not on there hand.

  7. That’s what I want to know who let him wear that t-shirt into court GOD will punish you piece of shit

  8. “Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, “Love your enemies.” It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. (from “Loving Your Enemies”)”
    ― Martin Luther King, Jr.

    His salvation is in Gods hands and Gods hands alone. I pray for his soul to be saved.

  9. He can laugh all he wants, i’m pretty sure that little smirk of his is going to change to a frowny face real soon. Enjoy spending the rest of your life in prison, it’s the best place for you.

  10. I’m sure he’ll either take his own life or do something so another inmate does it for him… Hopefully they let him suffer, but he’s a chicken shit and won’t last one month is a real prison.

  11. Yeah they’re gonna have to have him on 24 hour monitor, that little monekyspank pussy should be let out into general population so the other prisoners can “get acquainted” with him….
    And reacquainted…And reacquainted….and reacquainted….
    I think he would like that….

    Oh and Eben…Put the kool-Aid down…This is about the Kharma he will have to live through because of his incredibly thoughtless actions….
    This is MANY LIFETIMES worth of Kharma….Killing another is one of the worst things one can do to mess that up and he did a FINE job….

  12. cbrbart I am not disagreeing with his sentencing at all, but read the previous comments about him. We are no better with our thoughts then he is. We are mentally committing the same crimes as he is with comments that are wishing him dead. To quote a couple “Make the bitch suffer a LOOOOOONG and painful death….220 volts every three minutes ( for the three victims) until he frys” or ” They should just kill this piece of shit in town square, a long slow torcher that takes three days”. Unfortunately he went that next step and actually did what he was thinking; but the fact that we have the same mindset is where the problem is. At the same time I understand why the families would feel this way but to those who are not immediately involved, take TJ Lane as an example of you what you could turn into when pushed to the edge. Get rid of that hatred, it will never rest and will end up devouring you whole.

  13. “Die nameless, bitch!” I hope the Sisters get after you like they did Andy Dufresne in “Shawshank.”

  14. see, any of us “pushed to the edge” would never do something even remotely close to what that dirtbag did. Somewhere along the way, something went horribly wrong in this bitch’s head, and he doesn’t deserve to see the light of day again. it takes a special kind of sick bastard to do something like this, and this is definitely not the “normal” action that any normal person would take if “pushed to the edge”

    To all who say bad things about this kid God will also Judge you the same way you judge. Instead of saying all these mean things about him why not pray that he gets saved and changes his life so that he can while he spends the rest of his life in prison on our tax dollars just maybe he can do good for someone else. You have to forgive this awful act or God in the end will not forgive you. And even thinking of all these things that you want to happen to this man your doing the same thing as he did for what we think so are we doing. Love not hate wins…. Pam The Lords Child. hugs to all God Bless all who see this with salvation and grace and most of all love for one another not hate.

  16. …Oh Pam and Eben, I will forgive him! After the motherfucker fry’s or has his asshole ripped out by a 300 lb homo cho-mo. His body is toast! He may be able to save his soul, but sociopaths have NO conscience, or remorse. Some people, for whatever reason, are born without a soul.
