And sometimes Children are good deceivers, I know of several and so do you if you had or were involved with kids.

God who? There is no God. Where was God when the shooter was ready to kill ? God should have intervened and knocked off the basssssssssssstard. Instead God allowed this tragedy to take place. For what reason????? And don't tell me, "God works in mysterious ways". It won't fly.

We cant explain it to you. If you do not have faith you do not understand. So stay in your agnostic or atheist world forever your spiritual mind is. You cannot understand unless you put yourself in the shoes of the one that died for all of our sins, then you will understand what it is all about.

One said that they didn't understand why the family didn't know what was going on with him. Well, I'd like to ask that person if they know what is going on with their kid or if their parent knows everything about them. I have a friend that stated that they knew everything about their child. They found out different when that child took his life and left a note for them.
Not everyone knows what is wrong with their child.
My heart goes out to all of the lost. It hurts so much to see this in the news all the time. But, if it is not there then we forget that it happens. For the ones who do not want to see it they can turn off the tv. But, if you do then after time you will drift into that other world where the children live. Forgetting the bad that really does happen.

believe the apology was a sincere gesture on the part of Cho's family. This also must be a difficult time for them - particularly since in most Asian cultures, their son's actions would have brought serious SHAME on their family for generations to come.

Imagine how that must feel. I understand they are in hiding and yes, I think it shames the families for generations to come. How sad they didn't know something was wrong.

R.I.P to all the lost lives. For the families and friends, may you keep GOD close to your hearts and don't give up. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP and tell yourself that GOD is going to make everything better and your friends and LOVED ONES is still with you, by your side and in your hearts.

When I read your post about there being more crime in Australia, Canada and Britain, I was shocked. Shocked because I couldn't believe that someone would say that when it is absolultey false. I live in Canada and the gun crime hear doesn't even come close to the American gun crime. You need to get your facts straight.

From my observations, for what little they may be worth, Bullying is generally a product of bad parentage, generally, you will find the Parents of most, but not all bullies are in themselves arrogant, overbearing people, who so very wrongly regard themselves as superior, however when you think about, that, opinion of themselves confirms their inferority, as a result of their anti social behaviour, which unfortunately they pass on to their children.

Though now years ago, my daughter suffered severe, bullying, simply because we were not in the socio economic situation as where her tormentors, she is now 40 years old, and still suffers from the trauma caused.
Fortunately her own daughter who had been subjected to similar bullying, stood up for herself, and as is always the case, bullies being cowards, they backed off, and now do not bother her.

One thing was always blatantly obvious, the bullies had more rights, than those being bullied, and as in your case, the victim is often punished.
Woe behold any parent of a bullied child who makes an accusation against those holier than thou parents of bullies.

I realise we are wandering off the track, however I feel in this matter it is relevant.

I hope his (Cho's) family does not see these comments. People seem to forget that they lost a loved one also. Since I do not believe that his family had any idea he was going to do this, I hold my arms open to them to comfort them as I have comforted others. My God taught me to forgive, and I do.....
