That this individual had severe mental issues cannot be denied, the question is why these issues were not addressed in time to prevent this will be endlessly debated. But the killer has achieved one goal, he will now be remembered.
There are blogs out on the net right now, talking about how "cool" this killer is for "doing it to the man" and "he should have killed more of the little piggies."
Our society has reached a new low. And I fear for that society.

Please god,
Tell me this isn't true. Having dealt with someone who had mental issues. Without turning this into a political discussion on mental health issues in this country? I can say, the mental health delivery system in this nation stinks...hard.
On the other hand? I work for a Second Amendment advocacy group. I believe strongly in the rights for Americans to possess firearms. Do I think the gun control side believe what they believe honestly? Yes. I also disagree with them wholeheartedly. Trouble is? A lot of wrong headed folks on both sides are going to say and do some very dumb things in the coming days.
Meanwhile? 20 kids are dead. And I know a lot of us wish we'd been there to do something, anything to stop this asshole. I know I do, and I am the least trained person here.
