VA TECH shooter was laughed at and made fun of repeatedly


As I suspected this kid had been made fun of for some time and that is now confirmed by his former high school classmates. Read more here:
As i've said before, ulimately no matter what happened to him their is no excuse for killing anyone let alone over 30 people. That said as a society we need to really teach our kids to be nice to each other and to try and include as many people in their group as possible. They don't have to like each other but they need to understand, empathize and be tolerant of everyone no matter how different they are. And as parents if you ever catch your kid making fun of another kid, you as the parent need to lay down the law that is unacceptable. The answer as I continue to say isn't more guns, laws, metal detectors or money, it's teaching kids from day one as a society what is acceptable and unacceptable or things like columbine and virginia tech will become more and more prevalent.
