Although really unavoidable, I think that its the media coverage of acts like these that spur on similar attacks. ---

the media does help but i think there has to be some signs that the shooter started loosing his mind beforehand. if thats the case then why didn’t something happen to prevent this? didn’t the shooter at VT leave hints that he was going to do that and nothing happened? ---

The problem is other students, pressure from school, and a few loose screws. I’m shocked this happens more often in colleges than in high schools. We all know that kids are ruthless and tear each other apart. Every now and then that one kid that has had a thought like this gets ragged on to hard. This is your result.
