[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am no fan of Landon, or UVA, for that matter, BUT:
Unless you know Huguely personally and are willing to bring yourself out of anonymity to establish some credibility, don't use this forum as an opportunity to state when/how/what he was/is and how he became that way.

I agree.  The only thing we know for certain is that Huguely spent most of the four years prior to his crime in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia away from family.  The extent to which things that happened to him during his childhood influenced him as a young adult would be speculation even for a psychologist examining him - and completely baseless speculation for those who don't even know him.  I don't think anyone wold suggest that Mater Dei, Landon or even UVA has a track record of turning students into murderers.[/quote]

Do you seriously thin our upbringing no longer affects us after we leave home?[/quote]

Of course it does - but it is seldom possible even for PROFESSIONALS to identify the specific reason that someone turned out the way they did or did what they did.  It seems logical that events occurring close to the crime were more likely to be the reason that someone commits a particular crime or even became a person capable of such a crime.  But every person is the result of everything that happens to them in life -- and unique.  That's way it's so stupid to try to tie the actions of one defective person to a school they attended.[/quote]
