One of the single largest factors in this mess was that several of the victims preemptively forgave the shooter. They had no internal ability to cope with the very violence that had been perpetrated upon them and so, in typical leftist knee-jerk fashion, they excused it away as if he had farted at the dinner table.
Indeed, most of the leftist Seattlunatics seemed to breathe a huge collectivist sigh of relief ("Boy, isn't it great that we got all that unpleasantness behind us. Now, don't you think that Chimpy Mc'Bush*tler is just simply the worst ever?!"). It isn't in the water or I would have become infected with it. I can't blame the schools because I was exposed to the same foolishness as them.
So, how come it is that so many people out here are so completely batsh!t crazy?!!
