He does look like he wandered out of a horror movie.

Oh! Look how pretty the cheerleader is, and how dorky the guy looks!
Evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence! Case closed!

I hate to break this to you, but looks do matter.

I make sure I dress and look very nice when I go to the dentist or doctor because I want them to think I'm a productive member of society (which I am).

Besides, do you really want to shoot this cheerleader ?

go here for a follow up story

Allen Davis was harassed constantly by other children, she said.

"He was always taunted and teased and picked on, and it never ended," she said. "He's not a monster."

Another childhood friend remembered Davis as intelligent but awkward.

"His head was constantly down; he would not look at anyone in the eye," said the 42-year-old man, who refused to give his name. "He blended in so well, it was like he almost wasn't even there. He'd wear 'floods' (pants that were too short) — very much the nerd-type of look."

Friends couldn't recall ever seeing Davis' father. Neighbors said he grew up with his mother and grandmother.

Davis went to Ohio State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics in 1987. Little is known about Davis' life after college.

A neighbor, who refused to give her name because she feared retribution for speaking out, called the shooting a tragedy for everyone.

"I feel terrible for the high-school student. I feel bad for Allen and his mother."
