We are seeing the X-box, every child gets a trophy, mediocrity is perfectly acceptable, who's my daddy?, where's my daddy?, lousy parent/s generation coming of age.....And when you couple all of that with a continually eroding public shool system, we are seeing the worst generation this country has ever seen come of age.CG is right that there is something fundamentally wrong with a society that create this kind of unconscionable tragedy and then politicizes and sometimes even justifies it by looking for something or somebody other than the murderers to blame.
There is no justification for anybody to harm another person just because he is angry or black or poor or was bullied in school or any other reason. And any person whose heart does not embrace that poor young mother and grieve over the senseless murder of her child--any person who would attempt to deflect from the crime and the people who committed it--are part of the problem.
We need a unified society who uniformly condemns such cruel hatefulness and who promotes that which encourages personal responsibility, accountability, respect for rights of others, and a proper sense of guilt at doing bad things.
You make some good points, I would suggest the prevalence of violent tv, games, etc and parents who allow their kids access to this mindless shit are two issues that should be higher on the responsibility list.
