darkplayer, {
did I ever say that you told him to pull the trigger? I was not pointing fingers at anybody. I was just bringing up a general point. Maybe he was surfing the forum and all the derogatory comments he recieved he interpreted as "You are worthless or Your life is a waste". Now, I can't say that he was thinking of these things, but no one could be certain. I am certainly no expert on mental condition/diseases, so I am just guessing based on other people's information.
Apparently, his parents knew of the condition. Possibly they didn't realize how serious the condition was. Honestly, when most people go commit suicide, do they tell everybody they know "Hey! I'm committing suicide tomorrow! Don't be in my way or i'll take you with me!". Of course not. As for his friends, have you read the whole thread?
Why don't I tell my spewing crap to the family? Well, I'm sorry, but emotional thought takes over for rational thought in extreme situations, so anything I said they probably wouldn't listen anyway. Also, I wasn't defending him or supporting him in my post. Why would they even want to listen to my rant about why I think 50% of the people in this post are fools?
Where was I when this happened? I was not in CA I can tell you that. I'm sorry, but I am no superhero, I can't save everyone and be at a million places at once. But then again, I never said I wanted to save him. Maybe I'm a ruthless killer like him and would have helped him fix his gun so he could have continued on his rampage. Maybe I had the method to save him and the 2 people he killed from death.
What if situation? Where did i bring up a what if situation about them? I'm not saying that if something else happened they could be alive blah blah blah, because they are dead, and theres no helping that right? I'm just saying, would you feel guilty if you told someone to commit suicide and they did it?
I rarely frequent these boards, because flame wars errupt every other post, so naturally, I couldn't have egged him on to his suicide, unless somehow my existance caused him trouble.

As for,
He was a cold blooded murderer: Possibly, we might not be able to find out
He killed 2 people and himself: True
He killied 2 completely innocent people: Possibly, we are not sure about the innocence of these people. Maybe the girl made fun of him and told him to shoot himself, thats why he went and killed her. Maybe the father of the girl said "stay away from my daughter you worthless human," and thats why he killed him.
Note on above reason: Now, if he acted on how I had stated in the above line, then it may make it a predisposed murder. but we can't be certain
By the way, when people say, "There is no justification for murder." Well, aren't wars surely enough justification for you? Or do you think everyone who fought and killed someone in a war should be tried and sentenced?
