You helped those weaker than you because that was what being a man meant. I remember when people were proud to be an "American" without all the hyphens proceeding the title.
Instead, we're being told not to stand for what we believe, and that we have a government who will tell us what's best for us, and implement that into law, "for our own good". Anything outside of that will likely get our name on a "list" somewhere. I mean, after all, we're all simply a herd of drooling idiots who don't have sense to pour whizz out of a boot so naturally we shouldn't be given the ability to make our own choices. I think this gradually grows with each new generation, we're having our individuality bred-out of us. We're becoming more and more complacent regarding the decisions others are making for us (which is why we are where we are now) instead of standing-up for not only ourselves, but for our Country and for future generations.
Here's what really irks me. These murderers martyr themselves because they can't make a positive statement with their life, and guess who assists them, the media. They run 1-2 hour "specials" on the life and times of these sub-human animals for weeks/months following their murderous rampage, in-turn giving them the fame and attention they craved. If media had any moral fiber, they'd concentrate more on the victims and spend less air time glorifying the murderers for the sake of ratings. They'd give no time to those in office who are so concerned about using incidents like these to further their adgenda (as opposed to a true concern for the victims).
Nope, I have little interest in seeing pics of this guy as a kid, and hearing about his pathetic so-called life, his life meant nothing because he chose that route. He made a decision to take the lives of a dozen others instead of simply taking his own. He was a coward, a murdering coward, and no TV Special will ever make me think differently, nor will any speech from his parents, or any excuses from anyone remotely connected to him. He was no longer in their (parents) control, he was an adult and he made his own decisions. He was old enough to know right from wrong.
Like most other similar animals who commit violent crimes, his future will be drug-out for decades with appeals, mental evaluations, etc. If he was a man, he'd admit guilt and ask for the death penalty (which CO does have), and at least do one thing right in his pathetic existence. He won't however because he's a coward. I hope he rots in Hades for eternity, and gets passed around like a pack of smokes in prison in the meanwhile. He wanted attention, I hope he gets what he so badly wanted.
