They're idiots...that's what's going on. I've said it before.
Work in an ER (or other emergency services) and you get to see true human nature at work.
Humans can be idiots...and chickens
It's part of the reason why Columbine should not have been so shocking. They did they same thing that these "disgruntled" fools do at the workplace. If Klebold and Harris hadn't done it when they were teens, they would have probably just grown up to be one of these guys and do it later in life. The only difference was age.
People don't just take their own lives anymore. They get filled with rage at the world and anger at themselves for what they perceive to be some kind of failure in life. And so they take others down with them.
Sheesh...can't people just figure out that sometimes life sends you on a bumpy ride? Ya fasten your seat belt, get through it, get over it, and then get on with it.

Also, 5 people have been found dead in a home in California.
No further details (at least, on the radio or websites).

If you ask me, the media is largely at fault for happenings such as these. the ones committing such heinous acts of violence see others getting all the attention and they feel that they can get someone to pay attrention to them, even if for a few minutes. Cowards, every darned one of them.
Death sentence should be sought for crimes such as these.
Sorry about the rant, I am just so sick of hearing about crap like this. **(end of rant)**

Reports state that this could be something on the side of a "domestic dispute." If that is the case then this sheds a whole new light on this tragedy.

The only way alot of these people will figure this out is with alot of support from home and/or therapy. However, they or someone close to them needs to see that there is a problem first.
