What's wrong with these people?

With the shootings at Virginia Tech and the loss of 33 (or more) lives at the hands of one crazed person, I found myself asking what had gone so terribly wrong in them to bring out this behavior and destruction? 


The country was in shock after the Columbine shootings.  How many more school shootings since have passed without much shock?  Are we actually getting numb to this violence?


What is missing from the basic human make-up that allows an individual soul to indescriminately take the lives of other souls?


Ponder and respond, please...  I am interested in your theories.

Oh Bink, i don't know what to say. Some people are so damaged by their abuse they they are like sociopaths, live in pain. Seems they had a clue that the man was really sick. his writings and thoughts were scary. I don't know if we will ever get an answer along with the planet having so many problems and no one does anything.

Try to think of the joy around you. There is so much destruction here. Love, Leila

It's hard to imagine the magnitude of the debt this young man has amassed for his future lives.
