  1. This is certainly a tragic story and I am truly saddened by such an event, however, why it that all I hear about is how could the man get a AK47, or how did the man do this. Why can I not find any discussions on the injustices of the court system, and the very real bias against men. I am currently going througha divorce, and from the very beginning I have been falsley accused of any number of allegations from my wife. Yet without any proof whatsoever she is believed “in an effort to err on the safe side”. So I am treated as a criminal without even the chance to defend my self and she does not have to show any proof of the allegations. Yet because of these allegations, I am losing everything I own because I am now percieved as a criminal rather than a person who just happens to have been in a bad marriage. All I want is a divorec a couple of heirlooms and to see my kids each week. Oh yea, enough of my paycheck so that I can get of the street would be nice. I am not saying this treatment condones or excuses murder, but it certainly can drive a person to madness.
