> i cant believe they try to blame this kinda shit on other sources when they dont look at the cause itself…the fucked up mind of the kid who snapped. something was wrong with him, and NO ONE was there to help him out… where were the parents at? Advisors? Teachers? friends? ANYONE?
> 
> its common sense its not the guns and violence in the world…its the reasoning of the human mind… its the same madness that affected Hitler and his followers to kill millions. Same with mass suicides following their leaders. Ppl are stupid as a whole and follow the masses. you get them to believe something they will do it and think nothing much of it. This kid thought it was ok to carry out what he did…thats the problem. We need to access the problem that is the person itself, not games or other outside negligable influeces

I read that his roommates tried talking to him but to no avail. If he didn’t talk to his own roommates I doubt he had any friends. He could have had no contact with his parents so they might not have known what was going on. His teachers on the other hand should’ve done something more than saying hey you need help because of his plays that he wrote. But yet the blame can’t really completely fall on them.
