Its possible yes but unlikely that would take a considerable effort to do, say for example terrorists wanted to do that why not just send a couple of guys to various campuses across the country to shoot people, instead of taking months to brain wash a person, not likely

No, it is not.
1. If it WERE happening, this would be happening much more often than it is, and in a much smaller range or areas. Connections would be made between these events, and thus far, aside of similar backgrounds, there have been no connections made.
2. How would you not know your kid was kidnapped and brainwashed? Without exception, all the cases of these kids doing this stuff have been documented and their backgrounds were known. None of them had parents report their kids disappearing, only to come back a killer.
3. Unless you are defining kidnapped as going to school, and brainwashing as being bullied or mistreated at home, then obviously your question contains no validity to it.

Sounds more like a conspiracy theory at best. The kid himself was a South Korean immigrant. He was neither kidnapped or brainwashed, just simply psychotic. The kid was picked on, teased, and ridiculed which led him to go on that terrible rampage. He was a sick sick kid, but your conspiracy theory has no ground to stand on.

Definitely. It happened in Vietnam and with the Manson murders. Several other cult leaders have also brain-washed young people.

Wow. I've never thought of that, but what a great explanation. I always forget about brainwashing.

ohhhh, good theory! We should look into this! After all, everyone is saying we need to be prepared for everything all the time! You are a visionary!

just by us allowing them to be alone in their rooms with technology as a substitute for parenting; the computer, xbox, playstation; itunes, cell phones, television; lack of human contact makes you insensitive and disconnected from humans and humanity.

It was bound to happen, the conspiracy theorists have latched onto the VT massacre.

I guess anything is possible. But highly unlikely.
