What brought out the worst in Andrew Wurst ?

 I am tempted to indulge in my own brand of psycho- babble in

    commenting on 14 year old Andrew Wurst who may have planned a cold

    blooded murder a month earlier: " I'm going to go to the dinner dance

    and kill some people," he warned classmates, One of them nicknamed

    him " Satan". Wurst " hated his life. He hated the world. He hated

    school ". Now a science teacher, John Gillette, has been shot dead

    and others wounded by  a crazy kid  tormented in some inner hell.

       To turn against life itself in the very springtime of life !

     Just a speculation- perhaps futile- but how many of these  " crazy "

    kids were surrounded by emotionally healthy, " biophilous " adults ?

     Picture a vulnerable kid who never gets a clue from any of the adults

    in his life about WHAT IT"S ALL ABOUT.  He is surrounded by so called

    adults who deep down are still very infantile themselves, who have

    never undergone their own Copernican Revolution- learning that their

    EGO is not the center of the universe.

       Perhaps from day one the kid perceives himself as a mere nuisance at

    best in envied adult world. How many kids are born into the world-even

    the affluent world- not really wanted at all?

       I can't think of anything else -in a kid born mentally healthy- that

    can poison his very soul, creating a future moral monster.

      These kids -unless we are prepared to believe in Satanic influence -

    got a very malignant message from the ADULT WORLD very early in life.

       In the absence of caring adults, they got that message from TV. Love

    that Marilyn Manson !

        My own psycho- babble but I tried .
