Such a shame. I wish people like this moron would just kill themselves rather than have to hurt others. In some ways I blame our society, the news cycle and 15 minutes of fame, and schools putting so much emphasis on self-esteem and trying to be so clinical in treating mental cases rather than making them take responsibilty for their own actions. Back in the day people like this jerk were identified as problems when they were young and dealt with by teachers, parents, and authorities. Today we just make excuses for these mental cases.
I also can't help but think what if some concerned law-abiding citizen who happened to have a CCW permit (like I do) had been in the mall and stopped this murderer. Then again, the CCW guy would probably be breaking a law because no guns are usually permitted in the mall or store so one has no way to defend themselves. Makes me want to carry my gun with me wherever I go because you just don't know how people are going to act these days.
