<p>I am not excusing his behavior AT ALL. I didn’t see the part about MIT, but it makes no difference.</p>
<p>My kids are white and have divorced parents and my son plays video games. But he would NEVER do this kind of thing. However, we all know people who lack empathy and don’t seem “right.” I know a child who fits this description. He was odd and antisocial even at a young age. I had a feeling he would have problems later, and he has. His parents are both Ivy-educated, financially successful, loving and involved (and still married). But the kid has shown a pattern of behavior that is damaging to others and himself. This is a kid who–even at the tender age of the kids involved in the CT shooting–never smiled or laughed. Hopefully he will never go on to do anything worse than he has to date, but it wouldn’t come as a surprise to hear it was “him” rather than someone else if it did.</p>
