Hello Herman
Fight, Mustangs! Let's fight!
Come on, crowd! Red!
Fight, Mustangs! Let's fight!
Come on, crowd! Red!
Fight, Mustangs! Let's fight!
Come on, crowd! Red!
Fight, Mustangs!
Let's fight! Yeah!
Hey, Michael.
Spare some change?
What?
I'm the one asking the
questions now, f*** face!
This was Michael Ray?
Yeah, Michael Ray.
Not fast enough.
What went through your mind
as you pulled the trigger?
I thought there'd be more blood.
Streaming live, it's time to
"Check Your Morals At The Door",
'cause it's the
"Lax Morales show. "
The question I've been hearing is
what the hell are we
gonna do with these kids?
We've given you a fast-food,
downsized, techno-driven world,
and it's cold and you can't
make any sense of it.
So, kids, let's take some calls.
- Hi. What's your name?
- Hi. My name's Sandy.
I just caught my best friend
sexting my boyfriend.
Well, that blows.
Isa, what are you hearing?
Do we have a new body count?
39 students, 2 teachers,
and a police officer
were shot today before Herman Howards
was apprehended at 12:40 P.M.
What do you remember
of the shooting?
Just shooting.
There wasn't anyone around.
All of the doors were locked.
Everyone was just running
from inside, trying to get out.
but my hands were shaking
so bad, I just couldn't.
I'm with the vice
principal of the school.
And I'd like to ask you, do you
have any message for the parents?
Yes, uh, we're working
as fast as we possibly can
to get you back together
with your children.
This morning,
when I dropped him off at school,
we were talking about
my mom's birthday dinner,
and he was gonna help plan it.
But not anymore.
Did you think that something
like Herman Howards was possible?
I just thought he was mad,
real angry at something,
but I didn't know he was gonna
Please let me through.
Mrs. Howards, do you have any idea why
Herman might do something like this?
Herman is a happy, healthy
teenager with a promising future.
I don't know what's
wrong with his mother,
but it's got to be something
for her not to see the signs.
Mrs. Howards, your son was just
arrested for shooting over 40 people.
- No. Let me go inside.
I don't know. Some people
are just angry. That's the way it is.
Yeah, I talked to him.
I mean, the kid was
pretty much all f***ed up.
How did he get the guns?
Did your husband
keep guns in the home?
I'm divorced.
How did your son
get the pipe bombs?
I can't understand why
he would do such a thing.
Mrs. Howards!
One more statement!
Republican senator Joan Cox
issued this statement to
the press this morning.
Herman Howards is not
a common criminal.
He is a terrorist.
He's a troubled child in desperate
need of psychiatric treatment.
reasons for these type of actions,
and we need to
figure out those reasons
to make sure that these kind of
tragedies don't happen again.
He is a monster and he should
be treated as one.
Thank you all very much.
God bless America.
There remains no clear
motive for these killings.
Disturbing.
You're watching "Chet chat".
We'll be right back.
Yeah, you're the one
that's disturbing, dude.
Yeah, you know it.
Ha! Nice.
I want to tell my story
on your show.
Police! Put your weapon down!
The responding deputies
arrived on the scene
being fired within the school.
Those deputies also reported
explosions inside the building.
There are many fatalities.
He shot a girl. There were bombs
And then he asked if
we all wanted to die.
People started
running and screaming.
- I'm sure that everyone...
- It's terrible, isn't it?
If you could sign here
for me, please, sir.
Thomas Joseph King!
You bump into that
man one more time...
This is Isa Luz reporting live
from West Broome High School.
Why don't you take a seat over there.
Your car will be ready in a moment.
Thanks.
Just wait till we get home.
You're gonna be sorry
I ever gave birth to you.
Mama! Mama!
You're gonna go and save
the world all by yourself, huh?
I guess... or I could
sell out, like Chet.
You're so bad.
You know, you're lucky
you got such a hot girlfriend.
That's definitely a bonus.
Lax, this story is important.
It can put you in the game.
You're gonna come back
to me in one piece.
I promise.
Your car, sir.
Thank you.
Did you know Herman?
Yes, actually, he was
in our science class.
- But he was so, like, weird.
He was always quiet and stuff.
but I do remember he was weird.
Hi, Mr. Morales.
I got your call.
Uh, let me show you where some
of the students are, okay?
Um, just give me a second?
Herman was...
He was very stoic and
he just... he never reacted.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
- I'm sorry. You were saying?
- Uh, yeah.
Well, no, I never pictured
Herman doing this.
Herman was always alone.
Yeah, at lunch,
Do you remember
anyone picking on him?
Yes.
Hello, Herman.
Uh, should we begin?
Is everything all right?
You do want to be
on the show, right?
Why did you bash that black kid
with a bat back in Georgia?
Where did you hear that?
Why don't we start by
you saying your name, hm?
This freak, Howards...
He sent clips of the massacre
to that even crazier liberal
blogger Lax Morales.
Now, believe it or not,
Morales plans
to broadcast an interview
with this criminal.
If this left-wing nutjob has
any intention of giving this kid
a platform to preach his insanity,
his sick twisted beliefs,
then I think that Morales
ought to be executed
right next to Howards.
No.
Uh, can I get a scotch?
Hey, aren't you that Morals guy?
- It's, uh, Morales. But, yeah.
- Keep the change.
Come on. One drink. Come on.
How was your first day
with... with Herman?
- You should know better than that.
- Better than what?
Asking a fellow journalist
about his exclusive.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought you were
just a blogger.
Ouch.
People are saying this is gonna
be your capote moment.
You're famous now.
Wow.
I want to know what happened.
I know you left me to do a
piece on The Klan in Georgia
and you said you were gonna
come back to me in one piece.
Not a phone call, nothing.
- How could you do that to me?
- I couldn't come back.
Why not?
Just couldn't.
I loved you, and you said
you loved me back.
And even after all this time,
you still can't give me a reason
why you never came back to me?
Not a phone call,
not an e-mail, nothing.
I'm sorry.
I never, ever
stopped loving you.
So, this colored boy...
He comes up on us.
Stares me straight
in the face and says,
"you think you're
better than me?"
So I spat at him.
Right in his face.
So, um, tell me something,
Dougie-dog...
How you expect me
to make you captain
when you're faced
with an opportunity
to show the colored why the
