I don't know why these kinds of mindless killings are occurring now. I think that maybe it has to do with all the violence young people see on TV and video games. Violence without consequences and no real death. When folks were more closely involved with nature I think there was more respect for life. But I'm just guessing. Maybe the kid was put on some mind altering drugs when he was in school because his teachers could not deal with normal male aggression. Whatever the reason for his horrible actions, it is very sad.
