Now it's done. Can we finally stop having to look at this clown's picture?

I'm satisfied with this sentencing. I was afraid they would slap him on the wrist.

It's ironic that his lawyer's last name is Psoras. Psoras = sore a** for his clients when they go to jail......

A lot of these comments are innapropriate and offensive.

I feel really bad for him. He needs pychiatric help. Not necessarily hard time, but I'm glad that Daniel's family has justice.

This is all because of bullying. It's not fair he's spending his whole life in jail because of people bullying him. He didn't purposely shoot Daniel, so he doesn't deserve 35 years. He's jus a kid that was pushed to his limit. Everyone has a limit where they just go and do something about it. As far as I know, he's been begging for help without saying it.

I believe Gladden himself confirmed that he was not bullied, but he in fact, was the bully and kids were scared of him. Get your facts straight.

@HDG Resident, u wouldn't feel that way if ur child would have been the victim. He got what he deserves. He knew what he was doing. And its actually more expensive to have him locked up!

I didn't mean to single HDG out...too anyone on here who feels sorry for this kid. Bullying didn't drive him to do this. He's just an evil spirited person. What he did was worse then bullying.

I hope he doesn't go into general population they will chew him up. When I see other judgements for vicious acts the sentence is lesser. The judge has made a example of him, anyone can figure out he needs much counseling it seems strange that he isn't remanded to a psychiatric hospital for criminals. I think he was not given very good legal advice you never know they may get this conviction overturned in the future. Or the sentence mediated to a lesser amount of time. He is 15 hopefully in prison he can try to come to some peace find a trade or complete his education so when the day comes he can get a fresh start. 35 years of living in hell is going to be brutal for him.

Well, I can go to sleep better knowing that he won't be a menace on our streets for a very long time. Jail time is what this boy needs. I think he has the capacity to commit these awful crimes again. He really did not apologize, "If I didn't tell you, you might believe what the media is saying about me being a cold-hearted monster." He is not concerned about Bowory, he is concerned about himself and is extremely narcissistic and selfish. And I hope Psoras understands Gladden was not bullied, he did this for attention and wanted those around him to be feared.

The sad part of this is that you can KILL someone and not get 35 years ??? What is wrong with this screwed up system we have. Not saying he did not deserve the sentence , but heck Killers get less time in Maryland >? ?? Makes u wonder ??

Let me purpose a question, when is a child a child or when is it convenient for a prosecutor to say a child is a child or a child is an adult? If a 15 year old is a child in one case then they are in another. You are not gonna tell me that a child made a adult decision and leave at that when most crimes are made by adults making childish decisions. Bottom line is all the people who didn't take care of this CHILD just got away with not being at the least an accessory to what he did .On the other hand yes he deserved to be punshed but I don't think throwing him away for 35 years is going to help. There is no justice here on both sides of the fence. One child has lost faith in people and another will be free again to maybe do worse next time with still no help.

To Evets....this guy served 10 yrs of a 20 year sentence for 1st degree murder. http://parkville.patch.com/articles/man-sentenced-to-55-years-in-parkville-high-students-slaying

So basically yes...we have heard of someone being convicted of first degree murder and receiving less than 35 yrs

I dont understand when i was 15 i never thought about taking anyones life.but now thats all you here

Hear sorry

It is very easy to sit here and point fingers. Yes, we can sit here and blame the parents , we can sit here and blame the school administration, we can sit here and technically blame anyone for not noticing the signs of Bobby. But in reality, Bobby is his own individual. I understand fully that the way you were brought up, your SES, and so many other things can play a factor. But in the grand scheme of things, Bobby is 15 years old. Yes, he is young but he also knows right and wrong. Maybe he did not have a family support system, but yes he does know that pulling a rifle out and open firing is WRONG. He made that decision, no one else. He chose this. No one else chose this, but Bobby.

So we can easily sit here and say that he made a "mistake." But after watching the confession, he is not sorry, and to him this was not a mistake. The only mistake was not having a better method to fire and kill the amount he planned and himself.

Bobby needs to be locked up and he also needs help, as well. Someone that feels 0 remorse has absolutely no problem doing what he did again. So, sure let's give him a counselor and let him out in a few months.. Who else would he kill?

Gladden confessed. That he premeditatedly planned to bring a gun to school, shoot a couple kids and then turn the gun on himself. It was luck that no one was killed. That is it. Stick to the facts people. That is attempted murder. I have a feeling a lot of commenters may be in high school and not know the law as someone in their thirties (me). In time, you all will learn it in schooling and such. I believe the parents of Daniel (boy who was shot) are still in shock as they seem to act very forgiving on camera as shown in the news today. If someone were to shoot my son, I would not be that forgiving so soon in the first year that such an event almost broke my family...
With that said, Gladden deserves everything he learns and loses out on for the next 35 years. It was sheer terror he caused students, faculty and the community that day. Don't forget what those people went through and what they may still be going through.

Just to be clear, I mean no disrespect for any high schoolers commenting. I was simply stating that the justice system is something to be learned over time. You can't just google it in a night. I am all about keeping kids safe and bettering communities so just wanted to make that clear. Also bullied or not, that is no excuse in this case for Mr. Gladden. Kudos to Judge Cahill for doing his job. Keep this sociopath narcissistic adult minded adolescent in J A I L.

To all you sympathetic bleeding hearts, how about we let him out & YOU bring him into your home with YOUR family?! HE HAS NO REMORSE - HE IS A SOCIOPATH. IS NOW, AND ALWAYS WILL BE. The judge should have sentenced him to 20 extra years CONSECUTIVE, then he would be locked away for life. As it is, he will be back on the streets in his early 50's & God help society when that happens.

Because he was 15 I suppose he either didn't have any other issues with the Police or because he was 15 they don't release information concerning any other past grievances. Protected by the Court. Yet although he was 15 he was tried as an adult was this very serious crime his first offense? I believe the trial came up way too fast was in a prejudiced court they should have asked for a change of venue and to Not have tried him as a adult. Many conflicts here he was ignored by his family, his high school by kids in his school left to his own devices Alone. Look at the kids walking the streets all time of day and night in the winter no coats smoking cigarettes left to their own devices young kids full of tattoos pants hanging at half mast many of these kids in our community are a mess. This could happen again. Their parents set them loose give them no or very little supervision these parents are Your neighbors. Think about that .

Just for the record OJ Simpson was sentenced in 2008 to 33 years in prison with a minimum of 9 years without parole.

Sorry submitted too soon, OJ acquitted but found liable in wrongful death, the crew that got him off of the murder did their job. Possibly with different counsel and different venue verdict may have been quite different, in our country it is all about the money. Had Gladdens' family been wealthy it may have had a different outcome. Do you think in OJs' armed robbery he was sentenced for that crime or maybe for the previous one? That he was acquitted of.

Good riddance you P.O.S.

Pete R, makes a very good point! So many parents are failing thier children these days, I seriously doubt that this child had any type of help or even just a sounding board at home. He is a baby, only 15- who made a very adult choice that day. He made an adult decision with the basis of the mental capacity of a child, the results ended horribly for all parties involved. Kids are not equipped to make these choices, yet more and more they are and do because they are the only responsible parties in their own lives. Absentee parenting is not a fad or confined to certain stereotypes, it happens at all income levels- some parents by aware choices and some by necessity, its wide spread and an entire generation of unstable, entitled kids are the result. Same stuff, different neighborhood. So, since this 15 year old baby was left alone to make adult choices, do his parents have any responsibility in this? The only difference bbetween then and now in these situations is that now the parents know where their children are and what they are doing at all times.
Also, maybe it is just me, but I sort of got the impression that this kid was putting up a front about not being bullied and wanting to go to prison, I think he is a scared little kid trying to fake a tough exterior so he doesn't have to acknowledge his feelings.
Its just sad no matter how you see it, but in most cases, avoidable.

I have said this before, If an underage person charged with anything, they are not allowed to give his or her name.It should say ,son or daughter of Mr & Mrs............. This will put some heat on the parents of these kids.

If you look at the interrogation videos on WJZ, he seemed upset that nobody was killed. He talked about wanting to kill himself, but never why. His upbringing (which nobody really knows alot about) left him hating people (as he stated). This was a case tried in the media, they sought to quickly try him and put him away. The comments made by his attorney about the victim just made matters worse for him. Find another attorney and appeal or modify, maybe it will be put in front of a different judge. Gladden will spend a few years at Patuxent and once of age he will go into the prison system. I feel sorry for all involved in this tragedy.

This is so sad! I feel so bad for this kid! Hope he can appeal and be judged by a different judge! The only 'cold hearted' person here is this judge!

He deserves what he got. Like most of you have said he's old enough to know right from wrong my 12 year old knows right from Dont feel sorry for him he didnt feel sorry for the kid he tryed to kill.

I am surprised Sean Tulley that you would make a sarcastic reference to where Mr. Gladden chose to do his dirty deed. In other words your message is, if at less than 18 you want to take a gun to school, shoot someone and not get many, many years in prison, but be charged as a child instead, be sure to do so at............school in .......community. Wow! You really do surprise me!

He deserves what he got and then some. At 15, he would only grow up and do more harm to society. I am so tired of the "bully card" and he "needs help" he was "bullied" his parents "failed him". It is all BS. He knew damn well what he was doing. The entire school is lucky that no one was killed. And poor Daniel, my heart still aches for this boy and his family. I hope he serves his full sentence.

I see people saying how frightening it will be when Robert Gladden is brought back to society in 35 years...has it downed on anyone that that day will probably never come? He is arrogant, like most his age; he will dive into the prison world thinking he will be safe because he's a kid. He's wrong. He will be attacked, harmed, and other things that aren't quite appropriate to mention.
I don't have pity for this person, but I feel sad all the same. We all wish this could have been avoided...he is a child, after all. But the fact is that he made this choice, no matter who the media, or anyone else, wants to point the finger at. He's a ghost already, and I'm sure if he somehow survives 35 years locked up with the real monsters, I doubt he'll be capable of any harm.
