School shootings

Yeah, I thought that it was strange that the headlines seem to concentrate more on the fact that he was born in S. Korea than the fact that he was a student. He's been in the US since he was about 10 years old, so he's is pretty much "American" in my book. Since he was a legal US resident who went to american high school, he would have gone through the admissions process the same as any other US student to get into college, so what does it have to do with anything? There are tons of foreign-born students at Va Tech, it's not that unusual. You can be screwed up, depressed, and homicidal, regardless of your country of origin. I guess it is just that rubber-necking mentality that makes the media make a huge deal out of every detail.

anytime something bad happens and someone from another country does it they are so quick to say it cause its not someone from our own country. if its not someone from here there going to blame others alot more. cause it makes them look better than them. its a stupid system.

I think its a learnedresponse in America to put the blame anywhere but in American society. Look at Columbine. They blaned video games and the occult for quite a while before the truth came out that they had been bullied and harassed until they snapped. However, this young man obviously had serious mental problems long before that day.
