Does anyone find it Ironic that the killer in the NIU shootings was a sociology grad. student?

Question

He had spent his grad. school career "helping and studying" the wrongs of humanity such as prison violence, etc... and then just becomes exactly what he studied...

Answer 1

No, I do not see why that would be considered ironic at all.

And, by the way, Pink08 Social Workers and Sociologists are not the same thing.

Answer 2

maybe a little, I mean you think that class would have given him an outside perspective and increased this conciousness of human violence and it's repercussions.

Answer 3

maybe he was studying the wrongs of humanity in order to try to reproduce them in his own little part of the world. Seriously though, this guy is f****** demented, what the h**l is wrong with him, most people don't work their asses off to get into college so people like that can murder them. :|

Answer 4

No

Answer 5

No. I have dealt with social workers in my lifetime and have felt that some of them have more problems than the people they counsel.

Answer 6

yeah, like he was obsessed with the subject.

Answer 7

No. Sociology is the greatest social science, ever.

He should have sought help from Psych faculty to deal with his issues.

Answer 8

i suspect many go into the field trying to decipher thier own imperfections...
