Everyone has the capacity to make something of themselves. My dad came to this country with $3 in his pocket and didn't know a soul. Now he's got a house with a pool and a 3 car garage with cars to fill it. He never gave a crap what people thought of him, he did what he had to do to make life work.
This guy is bitching about how he hasn't gotten laid in god knows how long and blah blah blah. Just drop the money on a hooker if it's that much of a problem. We've got countries waging war, famine stricken nations where people have nothing, diseases that are wiping out millions a year and this dude is bitching about how he can't get a girl and that is grounds for mass murder?
I get what you're saying Pete, I do. I'm not excusing the fact that he took 3 lives and ruined those in relation to those murdered. But lets be honest, who in their "right" mind does stuff to this extreme? You and I (and everyone on this board) have had feelings of being lost, down and out, depressed, sad, etc, but we know how to deal with it in a coping manner. Obviously this guy did not. Again, I'm not excusing it dude because if my family member was killed by this fool, I'd personally want to lay my hands on him, but he needed help. Same goes with that Virginia Tech dude. "Normal" people just dont do things like this. Otherwise Spanks would be the Manson of us all.
