I really do think that there is more to his story than what people say on TV; there are guilty people out there who just aren't going to stand up and take responsibility for what pushed him to this level. This simply can't just be about a chemical imbalance, there are too many signs pointing otherwise.

I think we're making a large assumption about the sexual abuse thing. The whole backed into a corner thing could refer to his girlfriend breaking up with him, and not being able to handle it. Even the plays could refer to him and his relationship with his girl. Maybe she was stolen by a different guy, or this kid was jealous of her interaction with another person, which would explain the one play.
For the most part these whacko's do a lot of transferral, they rarely take the blame for things that they don't know how to control, and lash out for the smallest reason.
Its funny, because we keep looking at the bullying aspect of things as the identifiable reason why this kid did what he did. And I'm not trying to minimalize things here, but I'm sure that since the dawn of time, there have been millions or 10's of millions of people bullied, and some out right viciously, and yet we've had, what 20 shootings of this type and magnitude since the late 70's, and not a lot before that. So to me, and I could be wrong, there's a whole other factor that evolved fairly recently thats causing some of the more extreme elements to live out thier whacked out take them all with me mentallity. Is it the media, is it violence in movies, is it the permissiveness of society or an outright shift in the moral code and how we deal with people.
I don't know, I'm just putting it out there.
