[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read Columbine and then read this a few weeks later. You can't help but feel for the parents. I disagree and do think there were warning signs that Dylan was troubled but not sure anyone could have predicted Columbine. There was something off putting about her tone - she claimed responsibility but also referred to his actions mainly as suicidal and not homicidal. As a mother, I don't blame her but [b]I couldn't shake the feeling that she still didn't get it.[/b][/quote]

I think she "got it" but it will always and forever be for her--how could I have let that happen, how could I have raised a kid who would do this?  In the end, she wasn't the one who pulled the trigger.  I think she did what was reasonable at the time as a parent.  She has a lot of courage for coming forward.  Most parents of mass shootings don't say anything.

No one could have predicted Columbine.  And even people who sought or were receiving mental health treatment still become mass killers--James Holmes, Jared Loughner, Seung-Hui Cho.  The problem is guns.

Seriously, who needs the firepower to do this:
