Would have loved to have just 1min with him before his coward as$ did himself in. He's burning for sure and that makes me very happy.
 





I would have loved to string him upside down, and direct all my photons at his nonexistent testicles. Makes me wanna redirect my summer vacation to drop a nice brown log on his grave
 
This was all very sad I heard all about it in school today, none of us really knew what happened till we got home, my question is what could possibly have been his motive to do such a thing? If he was not already dead I would hope he got his ass beat to death in a prison or fed to a cannibal in an insane asylum where he belonged.
 
What a tragic event for the whole america, i hope he's burning forever for this sh*t..

Well, I can't excuse the outcome of this event. Nothing can. What was done was horrific. This case even has a connection to Canada as one of the students killed went to school in Winnipeg while her father worked as a prof at University of Manitoba, Jimmy Greene whom is well known in the world of Jazz lost his 6 yr old daughter in the shooting.
This 20 year old shooter, Adam Lanza had shown some severe psychological problems long before this incident occurred.
There is some indication that he suffered from Aspergers Syndrome and was socially withdrawn. However I've taught students with this condition and none of them were prone to violence at all. So, more than likely there was something else.
Here's a quote from courant.com

"He was always carrying around his laptop holding onto it real tight,'' Lapple said. "He walked down the halls against the wall almost like he was afraid of people. He was definitely kind of strange but you'd never think he'd do something like this."

Rebecca Jaroszewski said she was in the same first- and third-grade classes with Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary. She said the memory that stands out most is Lanza standing alone while other children played at recess, straining himself to make his face turn red and making animal-like noises.

He did this often, Jaroszewski said. "He would seem really angry, but he wouldn't tell people why," she said.

When she heard the news about the shootings, "It clicked for me when I realized who it was," Jaroszewski said.

Another former classmate of Lanza's remembered him as quiet and shy and socially awkward.

Kateleen Foy, now an undergraduate at Hofstra University in New York, said she was in Lanza's seventh-grade class at St. Rose of Lima School in Newtown.

She recalled that he joined the class after the school year began and left before school got out for the summer.

"He was really shy, really painfully shy," Foy said. "He was a little hard to talk to."

Foy said she didn't recall seeing Lanza again after he left St. Rose until she spotted him in a hall while they were students at Newtown High School.

"I want people to know he wasn't always a monster," Foy said. "He became one, but he wasn't always that way."

Foy said she and other students accepted his shyness because, she said, he had been home-schooled and "hadn't really been socialized."

In high school, "There were never any concrete signs of anything like [violence]. He went with the flow. … He flew under the radar,'' Foy said.

Another high school classmate, Ryan Schmidt, said Lanza "kept to himself. … He was just a bit off. He seemed like he was always awkward and looking around expecting something or someone to be coming at him. Twitchy, almost."

What troubles me about the story is that there was obviously some warning signs that were ignored. Sure we can go on and say "I hope he burns forever @$#$" but, you see that's part of the problem. It's our lack of understanding of others that allows for kids like these to fly under the radar. We ignore them and we ignore their problems. Instead of dealing with their anger and or organic (mental) problems, we treat it with indifference. We allow the wounds to fester, until finally they snap.
Not everyone with these problems will snap like this and this case is obviously extreme in the worst way.
The second part of the story is how Adam was able to access the weapons he did.
However, I am not against firearms ownership at all, even after a severe case like this.
Had Adam had access to chemicals, I am sure we would have heard about a school bombing.
We can't blame objects for outcomes like these. We have to look at our society and at ourselves and how we deal with mental illness in our communities.
May this be a wakeup call.

My sincere condolences to all those in the community of Newtown, Conn.
Canada and Korea is with you all the way.

That article you quoted shows no clear warning signs. There are weird shy kids at every school. Okay weird shy people may have a 1/500,000 chance of going postal as opposed to the 1/2,000,000 chance normal people have. His mom would have been the only one to see serious warning signs if there were any.

Pretty clear in the article that there was some problems, if you're still unsure give it a good read again.

*The inability to communicate with others is a clear sign something wasn't right. He also had a severe anxiety around others and would hide away. Also making Animal noises and showing he was angry while being alone isn't really considered normal either. Adam was also missing out on socialization that usually occurs in elementary school and middle school. He was home schooled. I'll be clear that there is nothing wrong with home schooling, but socialization needs to occur.
Adam had also came from a divided/ split family. Lots of people go through this and are fine. Adam may have taken this to heart as well.
Parts of the investigation have been already been leaked and now are learning of other signs there was more trouble.
Also mentioned now is that Adam was unable to feel pain and display empathy or other emotions (well). Again... this is a more than likely larger deal than just simply Asperger's spectrum disorder (formerly classified as part of Autistic Spectrum Disorder)
I suspect that many other signs were simply discounted. We may never know.
Again I've taught Aspeger students. The social awkwardness, intense interest/perseverating on unimportant details and the inability to show emotions appropriately is common to all with the condition.
An inability to register pain is something all together....

Unfortunately Cho Seung-Hui case is a little different and should be included as a extreme case of abuse by parents and School. IOt has been revealed that Cho was sexually abused by family and routinely assaulted by school staff in Korea, because that's the way you deal with problem kids at school.
The school disciplinarian usually beats kids with sticks. 15-20 years ago they used baseball bats to beat kids with.
I've witnessed this more than enough times to say that's endemic here. Cho was given no help for the sexual trauma he endured and as a result started to become increasingly worse (state of mind).
It's too bad Cho went postal in the US, as I think the local population in Korea needs a good dose of their own medicine. Especially the ones in power in Schools, Companies and Government. Seems like when you get to power in Korea you can treat everyone like $hit because you are somehow "owed" respect.
Time for someone to take out the trash!!

( I am going to be clear I am not advocating violence, but sometimes catastrophic events can make societies re-think how they act towards one another)

EXCLUSIVE: Fear of being committed may have caused Connecticut gunman to snap | Fox News

Yes I know... fox news, makes me question credibility too, even so, first direct motive that I've see for this tragedy.

The gunman who slaughtered 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school may have snapped because his mother was planning to commit him to a psychiatric facility, according to a lifelong resident of the area who was familiar with the killer’s family and several of the victims’ families.
Adam Lanza, 20, targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown after killing his mother early Friday because he believed she loved the school “more than she loved him,” said Joshua Flashman, 25, who grew up not far from where the shooting took place. Flashman, a U.S. Marine, is the son of a pastor at an area church where many of the victims' families worship.
“From what I've been told, Adam was aware of her petitioning the court for conservatorship and (her) plans to have him committed," Flashman told FoxNews.com. "Adam was apparently very upset about this. He thought she just wanted to send him away. From what I understand, he was really, really angry. I think this could have been it, what set him off.”
A senior law enforcement official involved in the investigation confirmed that Lanza's anger at his mother over plans for “his future mental health treatment” is being looked at as a possible motive for the deadly shooting.
