[quote="TGB!":44f87][quote:44f87]This is basically another copycat.[/quote:44f87]

I think copycat suggests he was doing it solely for that purpose. Thats not the case; the guy had some serious mental problems that pushed him to this point and Columbine no doubt gave him inspiration and "support" to carry out what his emotions were pushing him to do.[/quote:44f87]

Yeah I wasn't very clear - that's what I meant though. I wouldn't say he just copied columbine just for the sake of it, I don't think any of the so-called "copycats" would have had that as their main motivation - I think, like you say, that it is inspiration for troubled, suicidal kids.
