A 16-year-old boy told detectives he killed his parents because he didn't want to disappoint them anymore, according to a police documents.

Jacob Brighton said he shot his parents last month because he always felt like a disappointment to them because he didn't have a job, smoked marijuana and didn't share the same "qualities or interests" as his father, according to the recently released documents.

"So there's nobody, now there's nobody to be disappointed in me, try to make me lead ... their life," Brighton said.

Not sure this should be put under your normal "Guess the state..." header. This kid seems more mentally disturbed than outright stupid.

I always put good money on Florida, and it rarely lets me down. Case in point.

Is it bad that I laughed when I read why he killed his parents?

He didn't want to disappoint them any more? Wow, sounds like a messed up kid and/or seriously judgemental parents.

"You call that a HEAD SHOT, Jacob? It only took off one ear! You're such a disappointment to me!"
"Look, you completely missed the heart, only got a lung! Can't you do anything right, boy?"

"So there's nobody, now there's nobody to be disappointed in me, try to make me lead ... their life," Brighton said.

Because prison is such a great way to set your own path in life
