Hell, they have this whole guy's life story less than 48 hours after the incident. How very Lee Harvey Oswald of them.
Peace
Think about it...who would benefit from this? There is no insurance money, political gain to be made, or assassination targets in the victim list. This isn't like 9/11 or the war in Iraq or anything to that extent.

I go to college in VA and a girl two doors down the hall from my dorm room lost her cousin in the classroom shooting. Her cousin's dad got interviewed on CNN on Tuesday. Its really really a sad thing, but I don't really think there is a conspiracy behind this. Think about it...who would benefit from this?

Oh, there is very much political gain. The anti-gun lobby will have a field day off of this. It has already started. Hell, in an interview with George Bush yesterday a reporter asked him, "What are we going to do about these guns?" Give people time to recover from the shock for God's sake!!

The investigators are not going to release information immediately. They will be asking all the same questions that we are.
The guy obviously had some form of personality disorder - he had stalked two women prior to this incident and had spent time in a mental institution . What has caused this disorder is open to debate. I would guess that he may have expected to feel better about himself after the first shooting, more powerful, more in control of 'life'. That there was a two hour interval is remarkable as there had been witnesses, it was reported etc. I have never come across a mass murderer to do 'get away' with something like this - not without there being some stand-off or seige situation. I find that aspect particularly interesting and I'll be interested to see how that is explained.
He basically had two hours to cool off - it could indicate severe psychosis but if he was at some point in a mental institute this would show up I think.
The letter should help out too. Where was he, what was he doing during that time?
The guy in the clip seems sedated to me - big pupils, I have no idea how I would be in that situation and touch wood I never will. It is too awful for words. I will never forget Columbine, that shook me to the core, that kids can be so disconnected from life that they cannot see beyond high-school - less than a year and they'd never have had to see those people ever again. It is bleak. I hope that they can resolve this case and that those who have been affected find the strength to go forward.

Don't you find it strange that they almost invariably label people who do things like this as being "loners?" I do.
