This is the letter he (The guy who shot him self after shooting his teachers in Arizona) wrote.

Weird to think that the writer of this essay is no longer living.

 

After reading this mans letter I can certainly understand his reasons for doing what he did. I don't condone what he did though.

In our "day an age" One would think society as a whole would be more understanding to a persons plight, be it physical, mental, financial. What was done to this man, at this nursing school, if what he says is true..... was obviously discrimination and needs to be looked into. By the proper authorities.

It was a sad letter.

 

It was a very sad letter, but even after reading it, I still don't see where his justification is.

Ya, he had a tough life, big in whoop. Everyone has problems. Aside from his troubles with the school, he mentions money often.

I can relate, I know what it feels like to owe everyone, have no place to live, have a car that is falling apart, the sleepless nights, etc.

But now I hang out on an S2000 forum, I followed through on everything I set out to do to improve my life.

There are a few aspects of my life that leave me feeling very unhappy. Hell, there are a few people that deserve a bullit..

But...you will never read about me in the paper..

The simple fact is that he was weak..weak of mind and weak of spirit.

As I grow older, I find I grow more bitter. I have no sympathy for this man at all.

curious....anyone

 

I've seen enough in the American legal system to know that men are discriminated against in a BIG way when they are in a woman's realm (speaking in reference to family law). I can only imagine that the discrimination is just as bad in a world dominated by women, as with the nursing school. It doesn't shock me that his instructors had no respect for his LPN title; having been part of a family full of nurses, I know of the snobbery from RNs toward LPNs.

I think this guy's circumstances were terrible, and I can completely sympathize with his situation; however, killing people is something I can't sympathize with.

 

I don't condone his actions, but having been there before (albeit without the marriage/child issues) I can certainly see how he felt. Unfortunately, to some degree he is right. I changed professions and walked away from it, but, kind of like mindcore says, as I get older I get more bitter, no, more cynical. Why some professions come up with their dehumanizing, ritualistc routines still mystifies me. Chief Joseph said "There is no death, only a change of worlds." I hope for all of them it is a better one.

 

weird

 

Its very spooky reading that letter.

 

sigh....i'm sure many of us can write down a series of events in our lives as bad or worse than this and it would sound horrible. some would cry, some would be torn....but, life is not perfect for everyone. life is a series of hardships that we much hurdle. we face it, we overcome it and we're better ppl for it.

unfortunately, some are just weak and look for the easy way out....
