News outlets are saying he was a "deeply disturbed" kid with a form of autism. He was known to have sudden ourbursts of rage since he was 5. He was socially awkward and a "ticking time bomb", according to a family friend.
It also goes on to say he had a disorder where he couldn't feel pain.

I think that if it did stem from jealousy his mom might have been neglectful

In hindsight it appears to be extremely poor judgement to keep guns around the house with an imbalanced individual in residence.

Story I just got off the news by an fbi profiler was he hated his mother,,,the students were just an extension of his mother.
I will take that as an extreme jealousy killing.

Do sane people do this, by any reasonable definition of "sane"? He may have been jealous as hell of his Mom, but this crosses over from angry and jealous, to the tradional definition of "mad".

I am sure he hated and loved her at the same time...Not so much jealous of just his mom...but the kids that occupied her time...she probably talked about the children some at home.
So he killed the kids too as they were an extension of her they made up a part of her life.

The guy must have been carrying a lot of emotion for a long time....just snapped.

Maybe it is time for the gun manufactures to ststt using technology to build in some kind of password technology, so legally registered guns cannot be used for crime

Sad.

This is yet another reason why people should always ensure than any firearm they own are locked and secure.

I can't imagine what some of those people are going through.

Way too many idiots with guns today. As pro gun as I am, I found this little meme on Facebook interesting:

Write the amendment and let's vote.

Too many idiots would scream and raise hell.

Heck, some guys have the second amendment shoved up their butt so far that given the option, they'd probably live under a dictatorship as long as they could keep their guns.

So, a woman in an upper scale area has an AR and handguns? Those weapons damn well be better locked up. Do you think they were? Dang, considering by some accounts her son had some kind of personality disorder? (what I read, not sure if it's fact or fiction, but going to a school and killing children tells me you're pretty ****ed up to begin with).

Had the NRA call the other day using Obama as a scare tactic. I asked them when was the last time Obama got in an anti gun bill and what was it. After some time, they had to put me on hold. After 5 minutes, they hung up. I'm really going to ***k with them the next time they call LMAO

The NRA calls you?? I've never gotten a call.

 

[pjbleek]

[h=5]President Obama will travel to Newtown, Conn., on Sunday evening to meet with first responders and the families who lost loved ones in the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. He will also speak at an interfaith vigil for those affected by the tragedy at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday.[/h]

Well done, Mr President

We do need to have as a country an adult conversation about guns and access to them

We also need to do some soul searching about why these massacres happen

Doing one without the other will not accomplish much IMO

After I gave them a little more than they were expecting some years ago (when I was a member), they wouldn't stop hounding me after that.

I finally told them to shove their membership up their ass and stop calling me. Apparently someone there still hasn't gotten the message LMAO

Now, instead of getting angry when they call, it keeps me on my game to see how I can screw with them over the phone. Might as well have fun instead of getting angry.

If you want to feel the real cost of an event like this, take a peak: USA Today Victim Gallery. It could make you cry.

Are we drawn to tragedy?
Do we have a deep rooted need to grieve the loss of innocence ?

I am not a parent, I don't know anyone involved, save for the sax work of Jimmy Greene, yet I am so sad

Knowing of tragedy sure does make you grateful for what you have, and that in turn evokes feelings of guilt.

Any thoughts?

I think it's part of our social instinct. Even though these kids & adults aren't part of our own personal social circle, we still feel the loss (to a lesser degree) as if they were.

 

[itsmeJonB]

Its called compassion and its not a bad thing, its how you know you're human and should be expressed because in time of tragedy its how we cope and come together

 

[AUFred]

Looks like he committed suicide in response to hearing the first responders entering the building. I have read he had a lot of live ammunition on him when they found him.

i wonder if deep down these kinds of tragedies are needed by us weak mortals, to remind us of the sanctity of life, the need to take nothing for granted and to express love as often as we can

if we lived in a society where these things did not happen, i suspect we would become blasé
