    I stumbled on that story yesterday.

    That man is nothing but pure, unadulterated evil. I can't think of any other way to describe it.

    On one hand, I'm glad he just pleaded guilty, and therefore doesn't have a long drawn out trial that gives him and his crimes undue attention.

    On the other, I wish it would have been possible to give him the death penalty. (committed the crime under 18, so it wasn't an option)

    My stance on this is still WHY? Was he a bullied kid that went after his tormentors? I think that might have been the case as is most of the school shootings.

    It causes some kids to commit suicide, others to lash out in various manners.

    We are all quick to jump on the person that commited the haneous acts. I am not that person, I like to know the cause.

    Yes he killed, Yes he ruined lives, etc. Maybe I'm a bad buy too for my stance on this.

    I feel that we need to address the bullie issue even further in every school system. I know it is part of growing up, but look at how it makes you feel. We all have been bullied at one point in our lives. How did that make you feel? Now take that feeling and every day all day Mon - Fri see how it effects you.

    After a period of time, it will physically and mentally change you.

    When I came to this country, I was an outsider. I have NOT changed since I was a kid much mentally, just physically. We came here poor. Not much other than the clothes on my back. I cant tell you how many times I went home in tears. Where I came from, people were all accepting of each other and were all like minded individuals. Classes of people? What is that?... Cool kids? What?... Never knew such a thing.

    I was picked on for my height, appearance, clothes, food, intelligence. Damn, these people were ruthless. I wanted to kill some of these people. Had the means to do so also. I knew right from wrong and had experienced enough loss in my life to not want anyone else to endure that pain.

    I was always the odd man out. Played sports for the schools I was in too. Still, was not accepted. Girlfriends? I wish. Not socially accepted by any group? No GirlFriend. I fit in no where and became a loaner.

    I'm not justifying anyones actions here but could see how this guy, continued to hurt those family's who's children had been tormenting him. Thats my theory on it.

    Skygear;

    I agree that there is a serious bullying problem in the U.S. that should be addressed...

    However... The lack of remorse, and hatred towards the people that he killed, and the hatred towards their families, indicates, IMO, that this man was beyond bullying.

    Many people that resort to violence due to bullying, show remorse for their actions afterwords.

    Many of them act in haste and do not fully consider the ramifications of their actions, and think that they are at the point that using violence as their last resort and is their only option(hurting others or themselves); but many of those that have hurt other people or attempted suicide, because the felt like it was the only thing left, but lived, show genuine remorse down the line.

    A year later, this man is still showing so much hatred, I can't even try to attribute his initial actions to bullying. Even if he was bullied,this kid was a bad fuckin apple before hand. Maybe, if he was bullied, that indeed pushed him over the edge faster, but even if he wasn't; considering what his actions have been, I think he was bound to hurt someone eventually.

    He strikes me as the type that strangled the neighbors' pets for pleasure as a child.

    I agree he might not have been there mentally. But I would like to know his parents and neighbors versions of him. He might tell the media in time what really pushed him to this when he matures a little.

    I am a grown man now. Still have the same personality, and some people from school recognize me in passing occasionally. They think we are all friends and all that hazing was ok. I see they are still single, with no loved ones around them. I am a personable person and take the time to hear their story. Then move on.

    At the end of the day, I am a father and a husband. I care about them and my community. I have encouraged my children and their peers to accept everyone. Local handicapped kid, plays with my kids and the soccer team with no issues. Bringing them up in a manner I was.

    All I'm saying is we as people are quick to jump to conclusions without all the facts. By no means am I justifying anyones actions.

    I can relate to some aspects of your story. And also I find it interesting when I meet people from yesterday's, "hear their story" and move on. I like the way you put that :)

    lol. I like the motor mount welded directly to sheet metal. Also the entire rear end setup is a whole other level of full retard.

    on another note, I see you're now female....



    How you doin'?:D
