God Bless the children families of Newtown Ct

[Diver Vince]

A lot of people together with the news media are searching for the "why"s of this tragic event and pointing fingers at the gun industry, mental health industry, entertainment industry, our culture and god knows what else. If you really want someone to "blame", blame the mother! Yes I realize she paid the ultimate price, but anyone who does not properly secure their weapons having full knowledge that a family member has some form of psychopathology is grossly negligent. What was she thinking to take him to the gun range and teaching him about the use of firearms? Mental stability should be the first pre-requisite in the acquisition and use of firearms.

Most folks commit crimes for either money, sex or drugs. We understand that. In this case, what was the motive? It certainly appears the motive was lashing out at the world and choosing unarmed innocents for some sort of revenge for his pathological perception of being grossly mistreated which is why it's so impossible for us to understand such a heinous act. I firmly believe that Mom should have known better and ultimately she bears responsibility for this horrible tragedy.

...but this tragedy will certainly become politicized...

By me

But hopefully not on this Forum.

I am so sorry but APS was right and I was wrong. So disappointing.
