Wow.............................that's just...horrible, how can someone do that to those innocent people, I mean, I'm speechless, that kind of thing just makes me incredibly pissed off, and disturbed and sad.

*Watches as a horde of democrats point the finger at President Bush.*

I blame SPAM and Old Navy.

Anyway, I don't know. They will probably blame all goths for this one's doing.

yeah heard it, tough i read somewhere else he lived in a very bad neighbourhood, with lots of social problems, so i blame that right now.
but if they're gonna blame music or videogames, itll confirm that society is flawed

I saw on the news that he was part of a Neo-Nazi group and was planning this.

Myself I will blame the fact that he didn't feel good. I've had thoughts of shooting people when I was really sad or angry, but that's just temporary. I think that guy felt so bad that he just thought 'to hell with everything and everybody' and just did what he did.

I don't see how any of the things in the poll could have anything to do with this... I think that person had big problems.

Reading the post right above me pretty much explains everything. Any sort of racist and nazi are not sane.

I really feel sorry for the victims... I can't blame anything but his lack of common sense and morals, what he did was wrong and no matter how upset he was he should have known it. So, why?

Damn, you beat me to it.

If I was feeling the same way that guy was when he did that I wouldn't be here, so I obviously don't know, but the parents will sue some innocent video game, looking to hide their own failure, the usual bored people will make some anti-christian comment to provoke Christian extremists, and the old people will blame this "newfangled television." In short, everyone will blame everyone else to make themselves feel better.
Wait, I haven't covered Bush yet... It was...ummm.. I need a good excuse for why it was Bush's falt. Anyone?
It could be the Freddists. That little cult can perform some pretty extreme stunts.

I blame Adolf Hitler. Not society. Hitler. And the online Nazi community. I blame both.

Obviously the waffles.

Pleasantries aside, I think it's the kid himself. He probably didn't even know what Nazism was, and therefore proceeded to act as he sees fit, with the help of his sick twisted mind.

From what I've read, he sounded a lot like he knew what Nazism was...


I blame digital cameras. They're the root of all evil, because their batteries run out so fast, especially when I try to shoot a cheep, soundless five second video with them. When I do that- whop!- batteries dead in an instant. Pure e-vile.

Anyway, I just think the kid was twisted. He knew what he was doing, he was like 16. If someone goes on a killing spree at 16 and has no idea what they were doing, then there's something very wrong with them. He did have to endure lots of pain and loss in his life, but that's no reason to become a murderous/suicidal maniac.

It's because nobody ever gave the guy any love. And it's also because he was an unpopular loser in school.

i don't know why anyone would do anything like that. Like other people said, I sometimes feel like that, but I never do anything about it, I just go into my room. The people who do this probably have some kind of mental instability... if they felt that bad, why didn't they tell a counselor or something?

that is awfull, its sad there arn't very many good models for kids to look up to

I blame the kid. He was probably weak-minded and was very scared about his life. He thought he nothing better to live for. So hey! Why not go on a rampage and then kill yourself, sounds like a good idea!

i think its the parents fault. but also everyones going to blame this on games. personally, i think its our culture. mtv himt hint
