I read the anger and hatred in the blog I wrote on Saturday when the killings occurred and felt a touch of shame. It was how I felt then but, in the meantime, my feelings have changed. I saw a photo of the killer on T.V. and it struck a different chord in me, a bit of compassion for such a troubled young man.
What he did was incomprehensible to all of us but only a severely troubled human being, suffering in his own way, could have committed this crime. It's best now to try to understand what drove him to destroy himself. My anger with him is gone and all that's left is intense sadness for him and his victims.
