Or did we breed the evil by picking on kids who are different.
If we weren't all so wrap up in our lives taking care of #1 maybe the roommate should have spent more time talking to him than just rushing off to classes.

In a round about way yes in the fact they are unwilling to admit it even exists in the first place... I mean lets face it. In a society that wants more and more to deny there is a "God" or "Light" then they also are teaching our young Americans that there must also be no "Evil" and no "Darkness" as well... so what would there be to confront? ( and this isn't about religion if you can read between the lines..i have no religious affiliation here )
It isn't just young Americans though....
And further this theory of yours becomes more evident when people seemingly have a real problem with watching the video of Cho before he went on the "spree"... those that are outraged by the network showing it... (regardless if it IS the families ).
Interestingly enough those same people have no problem watching horror films or rated R flicks with extreme violence in them.

There is some truth to your idea that Americans (not just young ones) seem unwilling to confront evil these days. (I think that will change.)
But the VT massacre was of a different nature. It happened because, though it is illegal for a person with a severe mental illness to buy a gun, the mental health data are not connected to the screening process for buying a gun in Virginia. Seung simply lied and said he had no serious mental illness history.
Another factor is the extreme difficulty in getting an adult committed for involuntary treatment, no matter how sick he or she is.
Of course, if somebody besides the Seung had had a gun, there might have been fewer casualties.

This is about as far out in left field, as the questions can get! What does confronting evil have to do with getting Massacred!?? Why limit it to "young" Americans? I think any human being of sound thought would be able to confront evil, if they knew what type of evil they were confronting.

In this day and age, everyone is in the rat race, to be successful. And successful means loaded with money.
And there are few people who can not accept failure, we
call them deranged. Blame the society and sypathise
with some weak indidual. Nothing comes free in this world,
there is always a price in some form, somewhere.

No. It happened because the gunman was insane. Period.

My question is why didn't anyone fight? How was he able to kill 32 people before he killed himself? How did that happen?

So, like, in some way the victims themselves are responsible for their own murders? Hmmm....
Nope, don't think so.
