This is the news today. I don't suppose I can add any more information on what's already been said and reported by the major media outlets, so I guess I'll just add my own commentary and musing on this subject.
School shootings are bad news. College shootings doubly so. Why, you ask? Because the kids at college, (as opposed to those at a high school) are choosing to be there, and are well on their way to actively contributing to society. College, at least in my experience, doesn't have the same sort of stresses that contribute to high school shootings, like, well, bullying. That's really the only one I can think of about now. I may not be an expert, but it seems in my experience that bullying is really somewhat of a non-issue in college, due to the slightly more mature denizens thereof.
The question then, is what caused this crazy shooting? At this point, news is spotty. They're not reporting on who did it, or anything like that, so there's nothing left to do except for bloggers like me to make wild accusations and baseless guesses as the motive of this crime. Was it stress? Maybe he was just genuinely crazy?
I think we can all agree on the true culprit here: video games.
Anyway, I may or may not follow this story as it develops, depending on how completely ridiculous it becomes, because ridiculousness is the lifeblood of blogging.
