  Comment: Sympathy for the killer is largely a result of trying to understand the killer. Understanding the killer is necessary for understanding what went wrong. Therefore, if we are properly trying to understand the situation we should sympathize with both. In this case, I can understand the killer's motives with frightening clarity, and I wonder why the victim's behavior had not been reigned in earlier.

  Comment: I love how "if" has entered in to the debate. There is no "if". A child shot another child as written. All your "suppose" and "what if" garbage doesn't change anything. If you haven't the guts to react and respond to the truth of the story, then don't bother posting. Anyone can create a situation where someone will feel sympathetic or not. What you should be posting about is how you feel regarding the situation as it happened, not as you wish it happened to make your feelings more comfortable for you or less in disagreement with others. Its not about being "right".

  Comment: This is disgusting. I'm abhored that it is even a possibility that people are synpathizing with his sedistic killer...Did people sympathize with the Virginia Tech shooter or the Columbine killers? Think not...I don't care if Larry teased everyone in school. There's nothing in the world that could convince me that he may have had himself to death. That's ridiculous. As for Brandon's crazy parents, get real! We all have problems. I don't go shooting people because I've had a stressful life.
