Hi All, I am from Alabama about 1hrs drive from the area this happened in, its a rural area that very seldom has crime and never this but they think that maybe this boy was upset about not making the police acadamy and took out his anger on everyone, but surley there is more i do think maybe drugs are rx drugs , they say he was a quite boy and always kept to himself its just very sad. And i am truly against guns but we have them because here you really have to if they take our guns away than only the thugs will be able to get them and it sad that children are taught at such a young age about guns and really young in these rural areas but thats no excuse to kill innocent ppl. I fell something just wasnt mentally right with this boy. Just really sad;-( There is  so much peer presure and with the economy with the way it is right now its just bad and for ppl that cant handle this type of stress i guess they fill there is no good end. I dont know its just mind boggling.

"Jesus said…Thou shalt love the Lord they God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."  Matt.22:37-40.

I believe our children are full of hate and rage because, among other things, they are not been taught the kind of love described above, probably because they, the parents, weren't taught this kind of love.  This is an element that is sorely lacking in human society and, I believe, the root cause of most, if not all, the world's woes.  Evil thrives in the absence of this kind of love.


Well said, Barbara.
