In his 20-something page note to NBC News, he praised the boys responsible for the shootings at Columbine High School. Both he and they felt like they were picked on and shunned by their classmates and peers. But that does not excuse the actions that any of these men took.
On NBC's evening newscast yesterday (Wednesday 4-18-07) they had a doctor on who explained that for people like Mr. Hui, those little personal slights that we all experience daily and brush off, they cannot let go of it. For us, someone cuts in front of you in line, or the cashier at the store treats you poorly, we think to ourselves "What an a**h***," and we move on. He could not. All these little things pile on like snow on a weak roof and eventually...CRASH, it all falls in.
You are correct. Something set him off. But it wasn't just something that happened that morning. The news reports state that he had clearly been building to this for about a week. And who knows how long the "snow" had been falling before that.
All we can do is be there for those that are left and try to help them get some semblence of normalcy back to their lives. My wife and I are lifting these people up in prayer. Please join us.
