First of all, I'm deeply saddened by the incident yesterday. Students at the height of their lives shouldn't be a target or witness to this barbarie.
That said, when I wake up this morning and they had identified the shooter as a native of South Korea, on the US with a temporary student visa, something big happened. It caught by surprise pretty much everybody.
Before I continue, let me say that I'm against violence, hypocrisy and everybody having the right to own a gun (most people should not be allowed to own a gun).
Now, the irony starts where yesterday night, unknowingly of the true identity of the killer, people were already talking about violent videogames, violent TV shows, second amendment and even accusing the wrong person!
Well, this kid was not brought up in the US. How about that?
That's true, but i doubt the diffrence (video game's, movies, tv shows etc.) are much diffrent. The way he was raised may be the biggest factor. They say that he had a hatred against well-off people, so perhaps he wasn't that well off when he was growing up, or he had bad run in's with wealthy looking people. No one know's yet, so I guese all we can do is just make stab's at the "truth" untill the true facts are revealed.

He may not have been born in the U.S but he lived there since her was eight. He also had depression, probably the product of dull lessons and sexual frustration.

Remember
We wonder our halls all straight and tall Not thinking something will happen like this I’m running with tears in my eyes, as I see my fellow students fall He’s hurting people around me, he does not miss
All the screaming, crying, and hearing my friends in pain God why does this happen to us, this question we want to know As nobody had a clue that this guy was insane I believe that all guns have to go
The day was beautiful with the sky being blue and us without a clue We’re working very hard with smiles, and laughter around me At that time no one knew this guy was shooting up our school As how this day twisted so fast, for their lives they plea
He keeps his rampage going, until our rescuers came up the stairs It’s over now, as he struggled with his life God please shine your light to you children with care As these angels of your, will never be a husband or wife
I was not there, and cannot imagine how they feel Thou my prayers our with all of you on this horrible tragedy How this wish upon a star this was a dream, not for real All those will be remembered and missed so badly
God shower your love and carry them on this day forever As they barely fulfilled their life, their love, and harmony As 33 angels fly to heaven, and in return detaches their feathers They will always be Hero’s and Angels indeed
