[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so sad. The suspect had a promising future too. He was a star in high school. What happened and how can it be prevented in the future? Was it bullying? Was he a victim of hazing? Bullying takes a huge toll on victims and perpetrators alike. (Not saying the victims were bullying him.)

From CNN:

“His father, Chris Jones Sr., told CNN affiliate WTVR that his son was "real paranoid ... about something. He wouldn't tell me everything."

Some people were picking on him and Jones Jr. said he didn't know how to handle it, the father told WTKR of a conversation they had a month ago when his son visited. He said he advised his son to just go to class and ignore them.

The father apologized for his son's alleged actions and said he couldn't believe it was him when he was told the news by police.

Jones is from Petersburg, about 24 miles south of Richmond. He went to Varina High School in Henrico County -- about 30 minutes from Petersburg -- for three years where he was a star football player, a member of the National Honor Society, president of the Key Club and student of the year as a freshman and sophomore, according to the UVA football website.

He played his senior season at Petersburg High School where he was honorable mention all-conference as a running back and linebacker.”

How does someone with these stats not understand that killing people is wrong? Just over some words? Football head injury maybe? I mean Key Club and shootings don't usually go together.[/quote]

You sound extremely naïve. With very simplistic models of mental health in your brain.[/quote]

What am I missing? How does one go from doing great in school and sports and head of a volunteer organization to going on a shooting rampage without some brain injury?[/quote]
