    ", she's refusing to accept responsibility meaning she hasn't learned a damn thing." That sentence shows the overall problem with mental ilness: people simply pretend that it doesn't exist. talking about accepting responsibility is nonsense if the person in question lacks the moral ability to see that it was not acceptable. Throwing such aperson in jail does exactly f*ck-all because that's not going to make that sense of moraliity suddenly start working. *WE* know that what she did was wrong, she doesn't. The solution is to find out why she doesn't so we can fix that in other kids before they get a gun from their daddy becuase MURICA!

    I live a few miles away from here and was an adult when this took place. Her dad still lives there and the house looks exactly the same. He married her look-alike cellmate and had a child who then attended the same school Brenda shot up. Her mother had left the home and Brenda and her dad slept on the same mattress on the floor. When police called her mom to try and talk Brenda down she replied "I am too busy counting money". The whole "I don't like Monday's" was just a flippant remark. It was not a small house, it was a three bedroom home in a somewhat expensive area.

    What was the father thinking buy getting her a gun and enough bullets to take out a small town. He did everything to enable her to do exactly what she had been threatening and should have been charged for it. He basically signed hers and many others deaths. Its only luck that prevented anyone from being killed. She clearly needed help for mental health issues and he even barred authorities from treating her. I think he is equally, if not more to blame for what happened.
