Freakin nut case.
You guys are just heartless! Did you ever stop to think that maybe this guy shot these rich, capitolistic, consumers because his daddy didn't hug him enough? Maybe as a kid he caught mommy in bed with "uncle" Bill? Maybe the kids bullied him in the school yard. Maybe he'd been repetedly rejected by the ladies. Maybe neighbor Ned touched him in a private place. Maybe his wife is on his case day in and day out. Maybe his kids disrespect him. Maybe he had a bad reaction to two different kinds of medication. Maybe he was trying to make a stand on Bushs failed stragity in Iraq. Maybe he was pushed over the edge by the looming threat of global warming. Maybe he had the bird flue and is concerned about a pandemic. Did you ever stop to think..... That he was a teen aged piece of crap who couldn't care less about the six people that he killed and the others that he wounded? That he was useless and it's a shame that he found it necessary to take others with him? That people these days are often trying to portray the criminal as a victim?

We give these kids an incentive to do this kind of thing. They think it's fame. They think they have power. They know it'll make the network news.

It really sucks that innocent people have to be the victims of poor parenting combined with this "anything goes" mentality that we have.

Hell, take a look at what has happened up here in Canada. Yesterday in the paper four girls; 11,13, and two 14 yr olds were arrested for assault with a weapon and mugging. Not too far from my house, two blocks, a group of 14 yr olds jumped a 12 yr old. Those classified as level 3 or 4 (highest level) offenders for auto theft, when they get even a few off the street for a weekend the theft rates drop alot. Most they ever get is 60 days. All they get is a warning, social worker and at most a weekend in jail. One served less than 6 months for 50 counts of auto theft and fleeing from police in a high speed chase.

I dont know how many have been arrested for weapons offences, everything from mace, knives, bats, guns, hell even rocks. And get off with a conditional sentence. After years of libbys in power they are all "victims" and are only a hug away from being good people
