obviously this guys tree didnt go to the top branch, but i think people are giving him a break & a half calling him insane
he was just a pissed off kid who got picked on one too many times
& apparently in one of his videos he referred to the kids at v-tech being "spoiled brats" with fancy cars & money & drugs & all that
& the reason he had righteous indignation about that would be because his poor sister couldnt afford to get into harvard so she had to "settle" for princeton
whatever man, this countrys attention span for news is about 5 seconds
last week its don imus, this week is this guy, next week itll be something else

Inase and mentally ill are very different issues. Your right that an insane person couldn't plan this, but a mentally ill person in a maniac condition easily could. They are often extremely intelligent and calm, but when their illness is triggered they are prone to sadistic outbreaks were destroying what is bothering you makes perfect since.
Mania allows logic to be twisted and distorted like his obviously was, he really did believe that he was right in his vengeance of rich kids. However he should know how to control the mania by now and not feed into the voices in his head that convinced him he was in the "right."
I don't think this will drift away quickly, this is one of those events that go in your history book.
