Think about it M.D.

In this current sue happy environment, the campus security, local cops etc. have been forced into having to find smoking gun reasons to apprehend or aggressively seek out potential perpetrators. It appears this kid was a walking time bomb for quite some time but the "system" failed to truly acknowledge and address it.

I'm not making excuses for what happened, or failed to happen, but just an observation.

A first time event, I finally heard Oprah agree with a survivor from the Columbine shootings about the media focusing on the shooters and not the victims. Plastering the faces and stories of and about the shooters makes them famous for a day or 2. Gives them their few moment of glory. None to be had by the victims.
