* AssholeVictim: Brooks' first two victims were his mother and foster brother. While both died ''horrifically'', his mother was an abusive alcoholic who took her anger out on him by beating him, and his brother beat him up to save his own skin rather than try to defend him.



* FailureToSaveMurder: Brooks kills his foster brother, who was bigger than him, for not rescuing him from his abusive mother. He's attempting to kill his foster sister - who was only 7 at the time - for the same thing when he's caught. His excuse to the girl is that she could've gone to the neighbors through a loose board in their fence. His single mother was working as a nurse; could he not have done that himself??
