You don't have to look very hard in the news to find things like this occurring around the world. Children being shot at a school in Scotland. People being eaten in Germany. Murders and mayhem in Africa, Asia, Russia, Australia and South America. Yeah, we have school and mall shootings...duh, who has a large population with access to guns? And neurotic losers who have to bring others down? My sympathy is lost when a person feels it necessary to kill others in order to "go out in style"...I don't sympathize with murderers, even if they are in the deepest pits of personal hell and depression. Go get help, it's not hard. Dylan is right that it's horrible if you have to sink that low in your life that nothing matters anymore...but not to the point where morality and humanity are lost, that's just psychosis. This guy succumbed to the idea that fame and notoriety are the same thing. Now, instead of being mourned by people who might have cared for him, he's reviled, his family shamed, and innocent people are gone. And nobody will remember his name outside of Omaha, anyway...so much for fame. But back to what you said, Mystere...why would you make that statement, except to rub our noses in it?
