Oh, so this is "class warfare" now because among his laundry list of grievances was something about "rich people"? Yeah, I'm being ridiculous for doubting you. As for the possibility of a political motive, that wasn't a ridiculous notion at first, but by the time you and others began speculating here about political motives, it was pretty clear that this was almost assuredly a severely disturbed individual on a killing spree. The first clue was that he killed a girl in what was described early on as a suspected case of "domestic violence" and then later went on an indiscriminate shooting rampage elsewhere on the campus. Had this been an act of political violence, those events make no sense. Nor does targeting mostly students at a large, but not particularly high profile, school. Nor does a classroom-to-classroom shooting rampage armed with two handguns as opposed to ... oh ... blowing himself up in a crowded cafeteria. Besides, other than 9/11, how many politically motivated mass homicides can you think of in this country ever? How many of those ... had "liberal" or even foreign anti-American motives? occured at schools or colleges? were committed be east Asians? Yes, your speculation about political motives was ridiculous.
