No i'm pretty sure the victims deserved it in one way or another.
The plays are actually really awesome, I dunno why you think they're badly written rtan. They remind me of many movies and books i've read where the story is basically a realized fantasy for the main character. Here's how prom SHOULD have gone, here's what i'm going to do to my step dad, or short stories like the dude driving home from work and imagining catching his wife cheating on him and creating this elaborate fantasy where he kills the bad guy, or saves someone, or lets out all the pent up rage and dies a martyr, etc.
He obviously had some issues with engrish (and his emotional state budumpish) but i'd say that McBeef was like a preteen version of Falling Down. Kept me entertained (the fantasy of a 13 year old winning back his mother's attentions) and the ending was cool to boot, good and martyr'd.
But yeah I think they all knew what was coming and why, so I dont really feel sorry for them. George Carlin said people always talk about the 'quiet ones' but let me ask you this, if you're sitting in a bar and there's a guy in the corner reading a book and sipping his beer and there's a guy at the end of the bar banging a machete on the bar saying, 'I'M GOING TO KILL THE NEXT MOTHERFUCKER WHO WALKS THROUGH THAT DOOR!!' which one are you going to be more concerned about?
I love George Carlin.
