Who's to Blame

[jbones11]

Blame the CHO coward that did it....why blame anyone else ??? CHO was the coward that took the lives of all these innocent people and wrecked all those families lives. Its better off he is dead. If he would have been caught alive he would have been in the court system and mental system for years wasting our money to try to figure him out...F Him...he's in the right place no matter how he got there. It was all planned out, he knew exactly what he was doing, whether it was sane or not. It was all planned.

There is no explanation for the unexplained actions of a coward psycho killer who decided it was his time to take a stand.

Manifesto ???? Sounded like a bunch of BS ramblings he scribbled down over time...

His imaginary twin brothers name was "?" and his imaginary girlfriends name was "jelly"..WTF

Blame CHO...thats who you can blame

I agree that he is the lone person to blame, all and all when a person thinks about he is the only person that could have stopped this from happening. In our "free" society there is no way to prevent this from happening. Are you as an american willing to give up more of your right to prevent anything like this from happening again? Do you encourage stiffer gun control laws? As tragedies continue to happen Americans suffer by giving up more and more of their rights, are we truly the land of the free anymore? It is human nature to try and blame someone for any incident that has happened, same thing in fishing where after someone loses a fish everything thinks of what they could have done differently to help catch it. Sometimes things are just unpreventable. And as far as the government goes and making medications easier to get; he was an adult it is his responcibility to seek the help he needs, if he was incapable of doing so he should have been put into to someone elses custody and not allow to live on his own.

I agree with most of what everybody is posting, when I went to school the boys were tough and capable.

Most of us hunted and had access to guns from our homes. As bad as we were all picked on at one time or another no one ever brought a gun to school to settle a score.

A shooter would not have gotten far in the school I went to. Today's kids are much to soft.

Not only IMO but also my observation from dealing with high scool and college students over the past ten years.

Not blaming, just stating.

Something I have seen somewhere (and I can't quote it) said
More gun control laws only affect those that wouldn't do any harm anyway.

but I'm not saying it wouldn't help- I don't know where I stand on that issue. I'm a hunter and I have a gun in my house for protection. I was also suppose to go get a concealed weapons permit last month (even though I didn't intend to carry one) just incase, I guess.

I think a lot of you missed my point! This kid was sent through the system and the system failed! He was asked to go to counseling on a voluntary basis. The system knew he was a danger to society and to himself. My point is this should have been added to some sort of record so that he could not buy a gun. This is why I think the government is at blame. They did not want to deal with it for whatever reason. There was no check to see if he had obtained counseling and IMO should have been mandatory. Although if he wanted to kill someone he could have done it in other ways, but making it harder to obtain weapons for someone mentally ill could have altered this tragedy.

I totally respect everyones opinion and thank you for your input, but we spend billions of dollars overseas and we need to take care of our people first!

saying that the money should be there from the gov,t i dont believe. its the same as if we had more money for education, would we all be smarter? if everyone had health care, would we all be healthy? i doubt it. remember when the gov,t let all the insane out of prison? we gave them a new name.... homeless. remember how all the liberals loved that move but what then?dont get me wrong this is an awful tragedy and i would even admit anymore i hardly sit in a restaurant without checking out the exit options. i hate going in a bank anymore thinking its time for someone to come in and rob it. a woman can get a restraining order just by signing a paper. does that make the guy dangerous? i dont think so. if he is ,no paper is going to keep him away. this is a terrible tragedy that unfortunatly some other idiot is going to mimic. watching a few minutes of the video i have to admit it reminded me of the movie rambo. that same nonsense rant stallone did.but as conservative as i am, do you really think the govt can make it right? i do not. its the tragedy of life dealing with idiots.every form of behavior is acceptable today........ all the way to the point of absurditity. jmo. thanks

If you can stand too listen to the news cast you can see where they did some investigating and this kid was crying out for help along time ago, so whom do you blame????? Personally, being a parent of two kids and having a wife that is a school teacher i think the parents were out to lunch on the mental status of their kid, maybe being imigrants from a foriegn country was a handicap for them, i don't know, but the signs were there a long time ago and somewhere the system failed this kid.
It's a tragedy that it came to this but again, whom do you blame ????
