The problem, in this case as in most, was that the kid had serious mental problems, and as such was frustrated and had, in his own eyes, no other way out. When you see a kid doing this, it's because he doesn't think about the consequences because he just doesn't care about life anymore. Nothing can be done to prevent someone who just doesn't care about life anymore from committing some violent crime like this, whether with guns, bombs, or what have you.
It really is becoming more tragic. The media is giving this guy exactly what he wanted, and did it all for in the first place. It truley is saddening seeing the comments on the victims myspace pages such as "please call me asap so I know you're all right" or "call your parents asap"...posting that comment, then knowing your son/daughter/friend/etc. has been a victim in the incident...must be really hard and...it's just...sad. I'm still a senior in high school, and I've thought about what would happen if somebody came into our school and starting shooting people. How much it would change my thoughs on life, and other people around me.
