Another outraged user wrote: “Well this young man ruined his life and others affected by what he has done. I say let him rot in prison and become someone’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Show No Mercy.”

A third commented: “What. What is happening to Young men worldwide? There seems to be an epidemic where troubled and Confused young men turn to guns as their solution. We have to combat this.”

“Mental illness is in fact a serious issue. Anyone struggling should have the right to seek help without judgment. However, he planned to kill his own mother. I refuse to excuse his actions b/c of depression. He is a murderer & deserves punishment. What a fall from grace. Shot in the back of the head? R.I.P. to his mother,” a fourth wrote.

Reports suggest that he wanted to kill his mother so she didn’t have to witness him trying to assassinate Trudeau.

“I was in a rush and he was the only person I could think of, the most important person in Canada. Like, I could do something to make an impact,” Grantham heartlessly told police at the time.

After he killed his mother in April 2020, Grantham planned to kill Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau…

And even filmed the gruesome scene after he had pulled the trigger, clearly showing no remorse for his actions.

Despite killing his mother first, his main target was always Trudeau, as police found a journal with written evidence of his violent intentions.

The day after he murdered his mother, Grantham filled his car with ammunition, camping supplies, and a map with directions to Trudeau’s Rideau Cottage residence.

However, the realization of what he’d done just a day before clearly started to set in during the drive.

According to psychiatric reports, commissioned after the murder, the child star had: “a cannabis use disorder after years of heavy use.”

Despite this, he was able to maintain an “outward appearance that he was functioning normally.”

Canadian prosecutors are calling for Grantham to be denied parole for at least 17 years if he is given a life sentence, as, under Canadian law, he could be eligible in as little as ten years.
