re: I have never in my life seen the media reach such a level of advocacy before.

They are running out of things that ring true to the general population attempting to vilify the non-liberals. Playing on the emotions because it was kids involved in this tragedy is a tragedy itself. We almost always over react in after action responses due to emotions. Emotions interfere with common sense and good judgement. We have become so overly sensitive to the feelings of crazies that we stop short of keeping our public safe rather than facing the real problems with mental health and dealing with it. This guy showed all kinds of symptoms and predictable actions as he pretty much raised his hand on multiple occasions and told anyone that would listen; "I am going to kill someone". And that's all I am going to say about that.
