BUT WHEN THAT TRUCK DRIVER SHOT UP THE OMISH SCHOOL THEY DIDN'T BLAME THE TRUCK DRIVERS? WHAT in our society makes us single out people who like a little bit different from what most would consider normal?

Kitty, I think it was because the two kids wore the black trench coats all the time, and so there was an immediate association made to goth. Did youo see Bowling for Columbine? What Manson had to say about the youth of today was right on the money. He was also blamed because he was coming to town to perform right after it happened and it was a convienient excuse.

And don't forget KMDFM to .......it's easy to blame the music kids listen to in stead of blaming the parents for not taking interest in what their kids are doing....Like the man who tried to sue Ozzy Osborne because his son committed suicide listening to his music. There was a lot more to the kid than the music the parents just weren't paying attention. When it's an adult it reflects to their past as the guy who raped and shot the girls at the Amish school.
I agree if you look different your considered strange but what is normal today. I am strange because I ware black all the time and I'm 45 go figure

It's just so EASY to blame goths, Marilyn Manson, and Eminem though. It's not as easy to blame truck drivers.
For the record, I agree with you. People should be responsible for their own actions.

You missed the connection! Truck drivers are people working at driving trucks. They don't have an agenda, example: violence, hate, baseness, rejection of society, personal selfish gain. Oh, by the way, Saddam is a little bit different, so is Kim Jon, Adolf Hitler was, Charles Manson is a little bit different.

the NRA and media needed to find a scape goat to blame it on someone. it couldnt have possible been because the media is fear driven and all you see is murders and stabbings on the news. when stuff like that is shoved in your face it makes you more insensitive to those types of things like "hey everyone else does it" cuz u see it all over the news. So who is an easy target hey hows about goth people they are different and love death. so there you go. It sux for u guys

Was Eminem even around then? I think the only musical group I remember was KMFDM, or something like that. I don't recall anything about goths being mentioned. More like gun-crazy DOOM playing angry young males.
