[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure I can find the article again but I saw something where they knocked on the shooter's family's door, the brother answered, and basically said, "these guys were on his case for years, he finally snapped, what do you expect?"  It was pretty awful and mental illness or not... 20 years ago people got into fistfights in these situations and now guns are everywhere. It's really a sad state of affairs.[/quote]

Found it. This family is screwed up. No remorse on his brother's behalf whatsoever.

A man who opened the door at Jones’s mother’s house and identified himself as Jones’s 19-year-old brother blamed the shooting on “bullying” but wouldn’t elaborate or say who Jones claimed had harassed him.

“He just got fed up. … Nobody was listening,” the man said. “He had nowhere to go, he had nobody to talk to, so he finally gave up. And that’s life, right? Everybody’s got their breaking point.”[/quote]

There are several posters in this thread that are reapetedly trying to shift some of the blame to the victims, it's pathetic.[/quote]

It’s beyond pathetic it’s disgusting (and I don’t use that word lightly). As a UVA alum I’m heartbroken over this tragedy. [/quote]
