And that likely made a difference with Klebold. From what I understand, Harris was a psychopath and he would have done evil no matter what. The bullying just focused his desire to do wrong onto his fellow students.

People who are going to snap, are most likely going to snap regardless of what happens over the course of their life. Sure, somebody who has been abused throughout childhood or suffers other such psychological trauma will probably…have an episode…some people are just wired wrong. They get analyzed to death, but all the analysis never tells exactly why they snapped. It just tells us why they directed their rage at who they did.

It’ll take major advances in neuroscience before we do.
