WARM UP: FREE WRITE

What are your initial thoughts about these violent acts?
My initial thoughts about these violent acts are very disappointed because how can a human been don't feel bad about their acts or killings, looks like they don't have feelings or what is wrong with them that they don't even care about others. What happen in 1999 on the Columbine high school massacre and now on Virginia tech High School is really sad and painful to the ones that lost somebody in the shooting. It is also terrible to the ones that saw their classmates die or even lost their friends.
What motivated the murderers to do what they did?
The murderers can be motivated by revenge, moral panic aimed at goth culture, social pariahs, the use of antidepressants, violent films, teen Internet use, and last but not least violent video games. all these reasons can motivate a teen or student to create a big massacre like in Columbine and Virginia Tech High Schools.
