February 28, 201214 yr Poor shooter, heard he was made fun of for his clothes and bullied. His sister was in the lunchroom when it happened. I'm not excusing the shooter by any means but bullying is where things like this start.
February 28, 201214 yr Too kind. I agree, but I don't want a penny of taxpayer money going towards keeping this idiot breathing.
February 28, 201214 yr I'm not excusing the shooter by any means but bullying is where things like this start. Lots of kids are bullied, and bullied beyond comprehension. Not all kids decide to shoot up a school. It's an excuse, and not a very good one at that.
February 28, 201214 yr Lots of kids are bullied, and bullied beyond comprehension. Not all kids decide to shoot up a school. It's an excuse, and not a very good one at that. And everybody is different. Not everyone can handle bullying the way we all hope they would. At the very least there is going to be some sort of physical altercation as a result of bullying.

Not saying that means he will be a bad kid because they are divorced but just another part of the situation. He father also had some kind of murder charge dropped at one point, I think attempted murder. Here is the article I found... CHARDON, Ohio - A 5 On Your Side investigation into the family life of the alleged teen gunman at Chardon High School reveals a family life disrupted by divorce and violence. Geauga County Common Pleas Court records show the parents of Thomas "TJ" Lane III divorced in March 2002. One month later, in April 2002, Lane's father, Thomas M. Lane Jr. was issued an indictment charging him with felonious assault, kidnapping and disrupting public service. The summons was sent to the address on Wilder Road in Chardon that was searched by police early Monday. Lane does not own the property but records indicate it is owned by a family member. But just three months later, Lane was charged with violating a temporary restraining order. In August, Lane was charged with attempted murder and a court order was issued prohibiting contact his wife other than visitation with his children.
