Answer 3

Maybe it's a little bit too soon, dude.

Answer 4

way to stereotype someone based on their looks.  you're a real winner.....or should it be weiner.....

Answer 5

Actually, to be frank, he looks like some poor mother's son.

He looks like one of us. Which is what makes this so sad and

scary at the same time.

  No he wasn't a walking powderkeg. Serves no purpose saying nasty things about this poor guy.

   His victims families are what's on my mind more than him.

Answer 6

(sigh)  I seriously doubt you'd see a thing odd about him if you saw him on the street, and maybe even if you were randomly talking to him in a line somewhere normal.  Now that he's been singled out, everyone's scrutinizing that one picture that's everywhere.  Anyone could look like a psycho if you caught them in a bad millisecond (haven't we all had bad school pictures of us you wish they'd let you retake?), and he hardly looks like a raving lunatic to me.

I also don't think it really matters what he looks like.  It seems he was likely having some rough times (which we'll probably never fully understand, and may not even have a thing to do with the targets) and just responded to them in a way that seemed to make sense in his brain at the time.  Sometimes things just don't make any sense to the rest of us who are fully sane, and I'd be concerned about my own sanity if I really understood it all.

We really should just be thinking about all the people left behind, anyway, rather than trying to make the shooter seem like an evil person.  Moving forward is much more useful than looking backward at what can't be changed.  That includes his family and friends, as I'm sure they're wondering what they could have done differently to prevent this whole tragedy in addition to the normal grief from unexpectedly losing someone you're close to.
