He also was sent to counsellling, though, and people thought he was on medication. I mean, people used to joke in school that I'd probably be the one to do something like that (partly because I was the quiet one, partly because another Sri Lankan girl and her boyfriend had picked a lawyer out of the phonebook then tried to kill her), but for fuck's sake, that's not the same as actually doing it.
Freaks are people who don't go by what's normal. I'm a freak for having a red mohawk, because most people don't. He's a freak for choosing to shoot up a university full of people, because most people don't.
Being a sympathetic person is all very well, but I feel more sorry for the people who were doing nothing but just going about their every day lives, most of whom had probably never even met him or known him, and were just killed.
It's really hard for me to side with the perpetrator here because so far, there's been no evidence that he was being bullied or abused or mistreated in any way that would even come close to justifying him just randomly slaughtering strangers that hadn't done anything to him.
