Justin,
By the way, I like how you say it was “foiled.” It sounds like a Scooby Doo cartoon.

If these kids are really serious about doing this stuff, why advertise on the internet? I suppose it’s one of those “cries for help,” that if someone had just seen (like the lady from North Carolina that saw the myspace page and called the cops), the disaster would have been prevented. We need to seriously work on our schools and parenting in this country. Jeezus.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that school killings are, probably without exception, a perverted way of “making a mark on the world.” Normal people typically dream of somehow influencing the world in some dramatic way, leaving a legacy and all that. But now consider the person who has been driven to the point of being suicidal. They are no less interested in leaving behind something that will last beyond death. Sometimes it’s something as simple as a suicide note. But apparently sometimes it’s the violent deaths of the people that they blame for driving them to the point of actually being suicidal. In their own twisted logic, they may even believe they’re making the world a better place.
