alright lets clear this up. no one is to blame but the killer himself. u cant blame parents because ive seen terrible upbringing reap a good person. u cant blame guns just as much as u cant blame knives because its not the weapon its the person. u cant blame any facility because theres not enough people in the world to man a facility large enough to treat every psycho out there. the only one u can blame is the killer. they may be sick they may just have snapped. but theres nothing valid about pointing fingers here.

I think it's a combination of moral decline, loss of decent family values and our entertainment. Movies, TV, video games, music and the internet. I mean what good ideas do teenagers learn from watching "Jersey Shore?"

@nichole1776: then why was there not the frequency of mass shooting sprees 40, 50 or 60 years ago? We had semi auto guns back then and certainly people went nuts then???

Media music internet it's all there. Music back around Hawkeye's generation was about sex drugs and rock and roll. Mine with the grunge and rap that wanted to bust a cap in a cop. This younger generation is more violent. We never had this many problems when i was a kid. Oh sure we read about somebody going postal and shooting up the place. But they were spaced out over time. 30 people are dead cause of 2 manics that are not going to stand trial for what they done cause they killed themselves. What has happened today is dreadful. The worst school shooting ever cause it involved young kids. We need to believe that there is fantasy and there is reality. The 2 should never meet. Now this country is going to over react to this and we are going to have the media tell us that guns should be banned and all the hype. I feel that the world is on it's last legs and every next generation is going to get more violent. I fear for my future generations cause it just going to get worse.

no im not a mother of one of those kids i am a mother by rape, as for the kids i may not be a mother no i am a cousin so i have a right to be sick of hearing about it! I met the boy who did the shooting, church sure didnt help him any... Unless britney speaars and justin beiber made him shoot them then the music is not a reason he was in argument with his mother took it out wrong... Ugh im done
