The mom knew that her son was troubled, yet she kept a friggin assault rifle in the house unattended.

Have nice day.

Dude, really just shut the -blam!- up about it.

I'm hated by many, but loved by none.

I partially agree. But who fired a assault rifle at kids in a school?

  • 12.22.2012 12:26 PM PDT

It was the gun's fault. Accept it.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Yes, but who kept said assault rifle in the house without any real security measures. The shooting would have never happened if the gun was stored.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Put a gun down on a table and tell it to kill somebody.




Has it done it yet?

Though I'm usually in full support of the idea that parents take at least some of the blame for their child's actions, in a case like this, many people were at fault.

Let's not forget the teachers and students who spent eight hours a day with the guy as he grew up. Or the other people in his life who had to have noticed that something was really wrong with this guy.

Crazy of that magnitude doesn't manifest itself over night. He sent out red flags to everyone remotely close to him, I'm sure.

They simply chose to look the other way.

This whole blaming thing isn't helping. Blaming isn't solving.

Apparently she was trying to prepare him for an apocalypse scenario and taught him how to shoot.

But at the end of the day the mother knew this and allowed access to an assault riflle. Pretty hard to argue that regardless.

Even if she knew it, it was probably pretty hard for her to act upon.

Yes because it is very hard to buy a gun cabinet? Situation controlled.

Refer to my previous post.
She didn't want to hide them away from him, she thought what she was doing was right.

I'm certainly not arguing that. Just stating that blame isn't easily placed in a situation like this. Doubt anyone would argue that if he didn't get it from her, he wasn't going to get it somewhere, though.

I'm not really goin to base it on hypotheticals however. In that specific situation it wouldn't have happened. Would it have happened? If a criminal doesn't get caught does he recommit? Hard to say.
