A few words of sympathy for Los Angeles school shooter Elliot Rodger: He is not a bad guy, according to one of the many people who knew him.
Rodger’s online bio on the Internet describes him as “loud and funny” and in his free time “has been a member of the church choir and has been a soccer referee.” He says he “has been a member of St. James United Methodist Church since 2002, where he sang bass in the choir” and that he “is a graduate of Garfield High School and has been a member of the school’s lacrosse, swimming and cross country teams.” He says he has “a lot of friends.”
