MORE INFORMATION IS COMING OUT FROM THAT SHOOTING AT A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IN MADISON, WISCONSIN. 15-YEAR-OLD NATALIE RUPNOW, WHO POLICE SAY KILLED TWO PEOPLE AND WOUNDED SIX OTHERS BEFORE KILLING HERSELF, HAD A TROUBLED HOME LIFE. ACCORDING TO COURT RECORDS, RUPNOW’S PARENTS WERE MARRIED AND DIVORCED MULTIPLE TIMES. SHE HAD ENROLLED IN THERAPY.
THINGS WERE SO BAD AT HOME THAT SHE WAS FORCED TO MOVE BETWEEN HER PARENTS’ HOMES EVERY TWO OR THREE DAYS.
SHE STARTED TARGET PRACTICE WITH RIFLES AND HER FATHER PRAISED HER SHOOTING SKILLS. A PICTURE RELEASED OF RUPNOW SHOWS HER WEARING A SHIRT WITH THE NAME OF A ROCK BAND, SIMILAR TO THE ONE WORN BY ONE OF THE SHOOTERS IN THE 1999 COLUMBINE SCHOOL MASSACRE.
ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTAL BEHAVIOR THAT APPARENTLY LED TO MENTAL CHALLENGES.
RUPNOW WAS A RECENT STUDENT AT ABUNDANT CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. PERHAPS HER PARENTS ENROLLED HER THERE, BELIEVING THE VALUES AND MORALS THEY TOUGHT WOULD STRAIGHTEN OUT WHATEVER DARKNESS THEY SAW IN HER. RUPNOW IS SAID TO HAVE WRITTEN A MANIFESTO, WHICH THE PUBLIC WILL LIKELY SEE AT SOME POINT.
HINDSIGHT USUALLY TELL US HOW SUCH TRAGEDIES COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, BUT EVIL IS HARD TO CONTROL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
