Lots of blame for the Mother. Apparently Dad's off the hook , though,

32. well, personally I'm going with what the people who knew her have said

That she was a wonderful mother and person who grew up on a farm and simply liked target shooting with guns. The only place I've ever heard that she was a whack job or a kooky survivalist or was irresponsible with her guns is on DU with nothing at all to back it up. It's also only on DU that I've read anything at all that Adam was a violent homicidal maniac and that his mother knew this when everything said points to his being non-violent but obviously mentally disturbed in some way. Adam's own family is shocked and trying to wrap their heads around why he did this horrible thing. One person that has been reporting such nice things about her is her ex-sister-in-law, but far be it from so many people here to pay attention to what the people that actually knew this family have to say and just make up their own minds according to whatever their own personal gun agenda is and slam a mother who was just murdered by her own son as if this terrible crime is all her fault and never mind that she is counted among the dead and is just as much a victim as all the other dead victims.

Why is it assumed that it was KNOWN by anyone that he was an angry young male and so angry that he felt the desire to go shoot a bunch of people including his own mother and himself? He had no record of violence, and not a single person that knew him described him angry. He was odd, he had mental problems, his behavior was not considered normal, but not one single person believed he showed any sign whatsoever of being angry and so much so that he would shoot anyone much less his own mother and a bunch of totally innocent little kids and teachers. Geez, people here talk about him like everyone knew he was dangerous and was walking around with "Dangerous Homicidal Maniac" tattooed on his forehead or something. It's obvious in hindsight that he was a dangerous homicidal mentally disturbed individual, but not one thing has been reported by a single soul that knew him expressed anything about him that was angry or violent. Before this incident he had no known history of either by anyone and being a loner and non-communicator he carried his worst demons in his own head that no one including his own family members knew was there.
