I want to take this opportunity to memorialize, sympathize, empathize, and ponder about the poor guy who had something happen 20 years ago that finally came to a head yesterday. It must've been something truly disturbing for such a turn of events to occur so long afterwards. Nonetheless, as people mourn the loss of the young girls killed by him in his sad expression of pain, I want them all to think about Mr. Charles Carl Roberts IV, loving husband and devoted father of three.

I hope his name is only spoken as a curse for as long as anyone even remembers him.
I hope there is a hell for him to go to where he may suffer for the grotesque atrocity he committed against those girls, their community, and his own family and friends.

People like this guy have such a myopic view of the world that they see their own pain and suffering as being justifiably inflicted on others. Rather than take responsibility for their own positive development and self-repair from past trauma, they take other, innocent people down in their fury. This sort of news story sickens me.

sounds like a vicious circle of trauma, pain, and action. I am completly perplexed how responsiblity falls on the victom for positive develpment and self-repair?

Now the parents are victomized, so now they are completly reasponsible for health care costs? grievance pay for time off work? dr.'s bills for fertility checks for replacing their lost children? weakly apts for pshycatrists?

Hmmm, are we talking about the same thing? I'm talking about the the perpetrator of this heinous act. He is responsible for his actions and can't blame the 20-year old issue for going into a school and murdering young girls. That is what I'm saying. Twenty years. He had plenty of time to find other means of expressing his anger or learning to cope with it.

As for the parents of the girls, and his family, I would hold them in utter contempt if they, destraught and angry, went and murdered someone else (EDIT: someone who is innocent - I do not oppose Capital Punishment, philosophically and sometimes in practice). See what I'm saying? People deal with things differently, and human nature includes emotional frailty. I'm not saying that a person, upon suffering some horrible emotional trauma, must or will act with sensible rationality. However, there is no excuse for murdering innocent people to vent. There is no excuse for what these sorts of people (as in the murderer in this case) do. They are completely contemptible, pathetic, and ultimately pitiable. However, if there is a hell that bad people go to when they die, they almost certainly deserve to be there.
