Seriously? Video games play a huge factor in these types of situations?

I think he was joking.

This is what video games do to you, or in other words, media is corrupt, influencing your mind. The man didn't achieve anything my killing innocent people, all he did was affect his after life.

Not going to waste time responding to this as well but you're almost as bad as eric.

every time this happens the names of the psychos who do this get immortalized through the media and their legacy is forever plastered all over. it's exactly what these people want, and the media repeats this ****ing **** every single time.

there's a reason why a lot of these kinds of stories get censored in swedish media, don't need copycat killers and suicidal maniacs looking to exit with a bang.

****.

I strongly disagree with you Crono, we have the right as citizens to know what is going on. Hiding what happens would only make people furious. Also how would you know why these crazy people do what they do? In their mind it probally sounds reasonable. Covering up what happens won't stop others from doing the same thing. It's a big world, unfortunately things like this are almost impossible to stop. Do you expect a whole police squad to protect every school in America? At the end of the day with whatever laws added things like this are possible in any condition. Instead of accusing the media you should be praying for these families.

its harder to get a hold of guns when they are illegal idiot.

and no im not from quebec

That is a huge political discussion with many differing views. Calling someone an idiot for having a different opinion isn't exactly necessary. It's fine that you have an opinion, but you can express it in a nicer way.

I would have to disagree. I don't think video games make people violent. I think violent people are just more inclined to play violent games.

There's a difference between it being reported and it being plastered all over the media. Everytime something like this happens, the same article and the same name(s) get printed all over the place. **** like this is what makes some of these psychos do what they do. Notice the rise in these occassions after Columbine? Notice how two shootings were inspired/motivated by Columbine?

I have no reason to "pray". I don't believe in supernatural beings. It's kind of funny you bring that up, what kind of a god allows children to die in such a way to begin with?

Oh sorry, I guess that's directed to whoever originally said that.

Now if a man went crazy and killed those people, no one would mourn.

Just talked to my dad about this when he came home from work. Don't know if it was mentioned but the brother says the guy (shooter) was autistic. Now normally I would call this BS for someone trying to get out of jail time, but seeing as he shot himself it made me think. Perhaps he belonged in a mental institution. Mental institutions were shut down a while ago, because people see them as unjust and brutal. In some cases they were right, the staff didn't give a crap most of the time and treated the patients like animals.
However, with the removal of these institutions, families are FORCED to deal with their child and in most cases don't know how to.
The shooter was 21 I think? He was above the legal age meaning he can make his own choices to be on medication or not. In mental institutions they keep you on your meds. I think the real problem here is that the family didn't handle the shooters condition correctly and didn't seek help for him. Autistic people are very hard to detour from what they set their minds to. Learned this in psychology. Perhaps he got violent impulses, the family didn't know what to do, the mother tried to stop him and he shot her. Then he went to the school and did the terrible things their.
Again I bring up mental institutions. The US has a history of just tossing aside things that don't work instead of just fixing it. Yes the institutions were brutal and inhumane, but with extra rules and boundaries and powerful punishment, they could have worked out. Instead we have mentally challenged people who are homeless, running the streets and to be honest some of them are dangerous.
Yes this story is sad, but if the killer really was autistic then you can't exactly blame him fully. That sounds terrible, but it is true, their minds work differently. I am saddened by this story, but I hope that it shines light on the fact that maybe these people do need places to stay in which they are monitored and watched over so things like this does not happen.

I hope he killed himself.

I wish that he wouldn't have killed himself. Too bad our government wouldn't dare castrate someone.
