Doesn’t really matter...an individual like that could have been expelled and then come back for revenge...he needed to be in a nut ward....but all of this is 20/20.
I don’t know about everyone else...but i haven’t stopped thinking about his family...what a terrible burden for them to carry :(
One never quite knows the whole story in cases like this but we do not exist independent of the influences of the family that raised us. I am implying the likelihood that the parents had more than a little influence in how their son turned out, and are therefore themselves potentially culpable for some of his deviancy. People who are cherished and loved in appropriate ways do not become mass murderers (barring something such as a brain tumor or disease that alters the person's mental state).
I'm not so sympathetic to the family. This punk had extreme anti-social and psychotic behavior all through college (4 years) and at least a portion of high school.
So, this punk almost said nothing, not a word, to anybody and had extremely anti-social behavior for a period of between 5 - 8 years.
If I had acted that way at that age and for that long I would have gotten my ass kicked by my dad and then sent to an institution by my mom.
I certainly wouldn't have been sent to Tech to get a college degree.
It's not like this kid had trouble making friends or was shy. He had one-word responses to any and all human contact, or would just turn his head and ignore you without saying anything. This went on for YEARS.
I'm speculating, but I'm sure he acted this way with his parents. From watching all the Tech students describe this guy (even people that went to high school with him), he was always consistent. His behavior never, ever changed. Ever. Every one of them said the exact same thing: he was quiet, never said anything, blank expressionless face, etc.
