There is nothing about Virginia Tech that makes it a magnet for violent rampages. But before we can keep stop these mass shootings, we have to keep kids safe at home. What I'm getting at is that people who commit acts of violence -- school rampages, rape, child sexual assault and abuse -- have more than likely been a victim themselves. I recommend the book "Violence" by James Gilligan for the best explanation of "why it happens" that I've ever read.
