Men who get depressed and feel 'out of control' tend to kill others...women tend to kill themselves.
studies show this...it is NO DEFENSE OF THIS KILLING, I am just bringing it up since we are talking about the pyschology of things like this. It is not a sexist statement, just how the sexes brains handle stress differently.

..alot of times these types of killers won't have a long history of violence.

ya know...I am really sick about this. You would think we would be immune, but I am not.

I just think of these kids going to class and now they are dead...their families...

anyone else get upset about how violent our society is?
sigh.

I noticed how someone said "it's not the guns"

usually when someone says this they have not seen an innocent 17 year with a bullet in his/her head

that's different
it's called an accident, and it is not the same, not even close.

And he should have taken pictures and posted them on the internet, you get a more positive reaction than images of college students who are shot.

All I can say is this shooting is going to be a major pain in the ass for me personally.

the problem is, it happens so frequently they don't stand out and nobody cares about them.
Probably because people shouldn't.

It's a tragic story, but as tragic as a lot of other shit that's going on in the world?

When you take these campus shootings in America and hold them up to the sheer chaos in places such as Iraq and Darfur, where lives of innocent children are claimed practically by the hour, it's a lot easier to see them for what they are; Just another American going ape shit.
