On ITV now theres a video of the murderer speaking about it before he killed them.

he sent it to NBC and they showed it when they got the tapes.

[Ostinato]

Just put it on...

[T0M]

His excuses are pathetic, HE chose to murder those people, he only chooses to blame someone else as a pathetic excuse, he chose to buy the guns, load them, line the people up and execute them.

Im glad he is dead, wish he could of had a slwoer death though

[PaulMacC]

I'd rather see him die in a sea of bullets like someone else said.

[VPSwow]

It just makes me feel sick to think how someone could do such a thing

[uh huh her]

It just makes me feel sick to think how someone could do such a thingwelcome to our wonderful world.

I'm not trying to justify what he did in any way, but it was obvious he had mental issues and it had been confirmed before. If he got the appropriate help he needed - it could have been avoided.

Unfortunately it wasn't though, and I know he will be paying for what he did where he is now.

He is proved to be mentally ill and was considered dangerous, but his issue was probably bullying.

Yes that's true, If he'd of gotten the treatment he needed this could have been avoided. At the risk of sounding really cold, "They had it comin'" comes to mind.

Mat that is a disgraceful thing to say 'they ahd it coming' so 30 odd innocent people deserved to die? thats a disgraceful thing to say.

Being mentally ill doesnt make this right, he still brutally murdered 30 odd people and NOTHING excuses that, NOTHING

[:Jamie]

Yeh and they knew he had these problems =/

[PaulMacC]

He seemed so evil in his pictures with hammers and guns.

How did he manage to kill 2 people, run to the post office to post that video and then kill 30 other people.
He sent the postage at 9.01pm and killed 30 other people 29 minutes later

As cold as it sounds, I agree entirely with you. The whole of America has it coming considering they've allowed citizens to carry arms.
I read an article that had a poll on what should be done about arms in America, the majority of voters said that this could have been avoided if all the students had been armed as well. Wow, let's fight fire with fire, that'll solve the problems, I know, instead of ridding the world of nuclear bombs, let's supply each country with enough to destroy a country in minutes, that'll solve all of our problems. I'm so glad Britain opposes guns.

If they knew that he was mentally unstable, and kept him somewhere he wouldn't come in contact with others. No 32 Innocent people didn't deserve to die, but their deaths might not have happened if they had treated him correctly. Also I don't think you read my post correctly, I didn't say that his mental state excused his behavior but he certainly didn't receive the treatment he needed. My comment may have sounded cold, but you didn't fully take in what I said.

Thanks for seeing things from my point of view, I agree with you there and the fact people have said it could have been avoided if the students carried guns just shows the general American attitude in my opinion towards this situation.
