Young people are very impressionable. Could have been anger by his older brother against American excess consumerism or not quite 'fitting' in here, could be the gun debate glorifying a violent society, could be the way every tragedy is so overplayed in the media what a way to go out in a blaze of 'glory', could be influence of radical islam, could be anger at right wing portrayal of Muslims. Odds are not having a strong family support network always plays a part. Struck me how the uncle instructed his family to stay far away from 'them'..

Hey, Americans, esp young Americans, don't treat people very nicely who are different in any way. Do we really think Adam Lanza was the prom king at his hi school? It was just yesterday that the NY Post accused a young Moroccan American on their front page of being one of the bombers? And even after the guy when to the authorities and said he didn't do it and was cleared, the Post would not back down. How do you think that guy feels about America now?

Having said all that, it doesn't matter what prejudices the two bombers encountered in this country. What they did this past Monday to innocent people is unconscionable, unacceptable and down right evil. I hope they both burn in hell........along with Adam Lanza.
