Yeah, we were on campus when one of my group mates got called about this just afterward, knows someone in the immediate area and couldn't get a hold of them. Ex-IBM employee, went postal after getting fired.

Asians are going to get the bullet-proofed shooter stereotype now.

He's vietnamese? Ah, that makes it all better.






Ok, not really. You're right about the shooter stereotype, though.

It looks like a lot of young people can't seem to deal with the hardships of life. Such as unemployment or getting used to a new place.

Any explanation as to why massassi?

It's because parents have stopped giving a **** about their kids. More and more kids are taught that everything's equal, there are no losers. Parents paint a pretty picture for their kids, then hold onto that painting as long as possible, so when a child grows up and finds the painting to be a facade, that's X years of "truth" that just disintegrated. People are being raised with a sense of entitlement, which is not real-world rules. etc, etc

Theres another article. I don't know what the hell the video was about though.



On a side note, I love how the commments on that site always turn to black panthers spewing slavery this and slavery that on every single story possible. I don't think I have yet to see comments not relating to racial pride on that website ever, regardless of the story.

Sorry, I didn't catch his age. I assumed it was a young guy, seeing as a lot of violence is now caused by young people under so much stress that they seem to crack.

I'm not so sure if the parents are responsible for this. I've always understood how hard life is but I've never killed anyone over it. I have done terrible things while angry, but I am more in control of that now. I think its just that parents seem to let their kids drift into ideologies that aren't very healthy and society plays its role in arming a time bomb.

There are a lot of *******s around the world, who push till people break. I've learned to just back away from these people and find the right people to be with. Sometimes you have to go on a while alone, without friends. Sometimes you'll get lucky and find em right away. For those who spend their time without friends, you should not be discouraged, just engage yourself more in life, achiving goals and finding meaning to your life, and eventually you will find you are not alone.

Well then, I have no idea where that came from, but if it does anyone any good, I will be happy with that.

The guy probably had mental issues. He thought "undercover police" were torturing him day and night.

Living a life long enough to be in a nursing home, yet still being innocent. No. They all did something to deserve it.

Not to generalize too much, but I think it's obvious that most shooters shoot at the people they don't like, or have hurt them, therefor making them not innocent in the eyes of their killer.
