With all the crap in this world going on, its not to surprising when this stuff happens anymore.

This post isn't gonna be long, but my question is, was this avoidable? I was watching an interview where this guy that knew him said he was weird because he requested a Linkin Park song at a function they were at. The guy also said he knew at that point something was very wrong with the would-be-shooter.

This is laughable, and obviously his Christian friend didn't put much merit into at the time. I mean if he did, would he have not done what Christians are supposed to do and go and talk to the guy, see whats up, maybe even lend a helping hand?

This guy is blaming Christians for what happened. Is that entirely out in left field? Is it harsh to say he might be right? I mean who was lending him a helping hand? Who was trying to get into his life and be a real friend for him and get him out of the shit he was living with? Who was showing God's love for this gentleman? Doesn't seem like anyone. Instead they give him the boot from his school and left him for dead.

What I'm not saying is that this isn't a terrible thing. No, its an awful situation. What I am saying though is, it was avoidable. This should be an eye-opener to these sort of situations. I'm not saying everyone that looks a little different is going to shoot up schools and churches. But if these people that were labeled "weird" were given more time in the day, we might be able to avoid this from happening, and even developing a relationship that lasts a lifetime. Most importantly, you get to show God's love in your life and get to share it with others.
