The worst part is that even if we addressed the myriad cultural issues that lead to so many socially broken young people who may want to do such a thing, we now have a "school shooting culture," propagated by the media, inspiring copycats.

And neither of these address the cultural problems creating a fearful culture with so many socially isolated people who may want to get attention by doing the things our culture teaches us to fear.
