[FedUpWithIt All]

2. We are again living very near the area where this happened and it is hard to deal with still.

First, there is such heartbreak over the losses. I have only two degrees of separation from at least two of the deceased. I have family that lives in the village.

The local media has been very clear that this boy was really suffering.

The prosecutor says bullying wasn't an issue and that the boy doesn't know the victims BUT one of the victims was dating a girl JT had dated several years ago. A witness, who had been mildly injured while he sat at the cafeteria table JT shot at, told how he had previously been good friends with the boy, also years before. Friends claim he was quite frequently bullied and endured quite a lot at school due to his appearance and quiet manner.

JT's father had been charged with several serious crimes after many instances of abuse against women. The charges included attempted murder, felonious assault and kidnapping. The story about this kids life and the consequences, are very sad and frustrating.

Nearly every child interviewed described JT as either sweet, kind, quiet, polite, calm...

I do hope he gets a fair trial and gets help.
