Senseless

What gets into the mind of a 16-year old boy that makes him kill eight people? What will we choose to blame this time around? We’ve already used heavy metal music and the video game, Doom, as scapegoats for the Columbine killings. Sounds like it’s the Nazi movement this time around. I’m sure we’ll be reading about this for the next few weeks as the press, parents and school officials toss the blame around hoping something will stick which will help everyone make sense of the massacre. The fact is that it doesn’t make any sense.

But I feel the same way as I did when I first heard about Columbine…..where are the parents or grandparents of these children? I don’t believe they turned into monsters overnight. Are the parents really so clueless as to not notice any red flags? Senseless.
