VT shooter's song choice  

People think this because research shows that a person's listening choices do indeed have an effect on their overall psyche. I am not familar with the song or with how often this person listened to it, but that would be why professionals are making this assumption. Besides the fact, they have little else to go on at this point, so they are trying to piece together why someone would do such a horrendous thing and have such a disregard for human life. I feel for all the families including his, but I don't feel for him and if that makes me a bad person, so be it. I hope this helps, it was a good question.

I've just looked up the lyrics - how could a song that's asking to find the love and light of Heaven remotly encourage somebody to kill people?

Collective Soul - Shine Lyrics
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
Tell me will love be there
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there
Oh, Heaven let your light shine down
