The police then shot and killed him outside of Target. (and now I am not sure I can go there anymore)<BR/><BR/>MY SIL and MIL often shop at Ward Parkway and I had to call to make sure they were not there that day. Luckily they were not. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the shooters sister said that he was an alcoholic and needed mental help but he was not given any.

I got really worked up when some news hack or another said that films like Revenge of the Nerds were dangerous because they "inspired" people like the Virginia Tech shooter. Uh, because it tells people that the jocks and pretty people have NO RIGHT to torment outcasts and that outcasts can fight back? ('Cuz, I don't remember seeing any guns or deaths in ROTN, but maybe I was distracted by all the gratuitous female nudity. I am simple that way.) We don't think about the ramifications of our actions, don't think about all the petty acts of cruelty that people commit against one another on a daily basis, don't think about all those moments when people in power demonstrate that they feel no empathy for others, and then we wonder why some people develop a dangerous lack of empathy for everyone.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a rant there.alimumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247925332804829103noreply@blogger.com
