#2 "had very serious personal problems that led to this tragic death."
I'm sure in the coming days we'll find out that devotion to Allah was the biggest one.

#3 I dunno. Dad doesn't exactly come across as Mister Warmth. Maybe the kid got a B or something. "I'll show him. I'll show everybody..."

#4 Sounds like he had some longstanding mental health problems and an unhealthy interest in explosives combined with little concern for his family or others. Sad but inexcusable.

#6 My daughter also graduated from Wasson High School, in 2004. She knew John slightly, and said he was a very private person. One comment she made makes me wonder if there weren't underlying family problems - she said John hardly spoke five words a day, and wasn't much interested in "anything" - just kind of drifted by, but making good grades while doing so. I don't think this has anything to do with islamofascifruitcakes.
