Thanks. Several people on here pointed this out to me with links and so on. I had never heard of this school tragedy. There are just some really evil people out there.

What's really evil is how rational they appear up until they commit their crime. The three worst school killings in the US (thank God we haven't had a Breslan) were all done by people who planned this out.

The worst - the Bath disaster, they said the guy planned it up for up to a year, and planned on how to do the most damage and get the targets he wanted. There were hundreds of pounds of explosives that didn't go off - had they gone off, the death toll would have easily hit 100+ He created diversions for the town's fire department. The UT Tower shootings - Whitman planned this for quite a while, and went to great lengths to prepare for a prolonged siege. The VT shootings, the guy brought chain so that he could chain the exits shut, bought his guns and ammo a month or so ago and a month apart, and had tested the campus emergency response.

That too me is the most chilling - these people snapped and yet were able to hold it together long enough to carry out the plans their screwed up minds came up with. All appeared very aware of what they were doing.
