What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- Killed Garrett's hamster for fun.
- He developed a lustful crush on his babysitter Ashley when he knows she will be moving away.
- He staged a home invasion attempt with Garrett so he can impress Ashley. When that failed, he slapped her and made her fell downstairs, knocking her unconscious.
- He tied Ashley to a chair and then force her to play a game of Truth and Dare. He also sexually assaulted her by touching her breast.
- When Ricky, one of Ashley's boyfriends, came to Luke's house to make amends for their argument, Luke attacked him with a baseball bat then stabbed him in the face with a pencil, forcing him to smoke and tortured him with it. Eventually he killed Ricky with a paint can in Home Alone fashion.
- He killed Jeremy, Ashley's other boyfriend, by hanging him from a tree. Although Jeremy is a jerk who spread a rumor of sleeping with Ashley, either before or after their breakup, he didn't deserve to die in a horrible death.
- After Ashley convinced Garrett that Luke is a monster and gets him to free her, Luke shoots him with a shotgun, eventually killing him. Although he feels an amount of remorse after killing him, he immediately drops it by saying he was starting to annoy him anyway.
- After realizing Ashley would not love him, he stabbed her in the neck with a knife, although she somehow survived.
- He tried to frame the murders on the dead Jeremy.
- Upon realizing Ashley is still alive, he asked his mom to visit her at the hospital, assuming he will finish her off.
