Mr. Rhino: belated kudos to you for an excellent post. Amid the flotsam on this thread there has been some excellent discussion of this horrendous tragedy and your point that modern suburbia offers nothing for kids to feel part of, feel attached to, or feel a sense of community & belonging is very well taken. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Amid such a backdrop, hazing indeed becomes all the more likely and unbearable. This signals another key issue many have discussed thoughtfully: lack of true "family" interaction as we know it. The parents of these kids had NO idea what was going on. Even neighbors sensed something was going on. Finally, IMO another piece was the apparent absence of religion in all this. These two kids clearly had no chruch/religion-based support system to fall back on either. Instead of being able to find comfort in a God/church community amid reportedly severe school hazing, they found it instead in the writings of Hitler. Wilfully isolated at this point, their desire for revenge so consumed them even their own lives no longer mattered. End result, a horrendous atrocity. Thanks again for your post.
