Me too regretted for such a barbaric act. My condolence to the victims'

families. Some people have eyes but could not see and beating hearts but could not feel!

Yes, its sad and upsetting,

school shootings have become somewhat of a common thing in the US in the past few years, I dont know the reason

behind this, other countries have there fair degree of violence, but it always stands out when violence like this

occurs in a country like the US. They lead the world in alot of good things, but this type of thing, has become so

common, im starting to wonder its just a coincidence and not a sinister pattern emerging. Sociologists, should take

a good look at middle America, (where most of these crimes take place) with how to tackle this issue.

I simply call them psychos. What goes on in their minds will never be understood. They look

as normal as everybody else. I wonder what triggered them to do something like this.

There are close to 300,000,000 people in the US. Of course there are going to be a few dangerously

deranged people. And, of course there are going to be copycat crimes. Both facts are well known to almost everybody,

you can cite hundreds of examples of criminals copying each other.

The sick mentality that would attack a bunch

of children for the attention it gets them is not prevelent in the US, nor is it unheard of in other parts of the

world. I'm willing to bet that if somebody took the time to actually analyse the statistics instead of simply

reading headlines they would find that violent crime here is no more common than anywhere else in the world.

Violent crime, occurs

everywhere.It is my opinion that when such henious crimes occur they are amplified a lot mor through media attention

in westernised, countries like the us/england.

Genocide and or events like this, happens in 3 world countries i

believe much more often, but are not publicised.Why,simply because people dont find out about them as quickly as so

called 1 rate countries. I think if you take stats on a per capita basis a more truer reflection of this behaviour

can be attained. Interesting though? More jobs for criminal psychologists? And or is this a mere reflection of how,

some people react to envriomental stimili, coupled with genetic predisposition? Be it very unusual and heinous to us

so called normal people. Very sad though for all?

What was the motive? What happened

What is a 13 yr old doing with an AK-47??? for anyone that has used this weapon, they

would know it's not the lightest or the easiest thing to use.
