This shooting in Aurora, CO is feeding off Columbine. Dave Cullen is being interviewed a lot as an authority. I wonder how much useful comparison there really is between the events, especially the perpetrators. From what I'm hearing... not so much except the military pre-meditated nature of the two.

I don't think they are really connected from a factual point. However, the impact on a young community is similar. Also relevant is the report that University of Colorado psych team had listed him as a "threat" and he was referred to the intervention team. However, he then dropped out school within days. So, the school's responsibility/liability has been questioned by media. Should they have seen the drop out as a red flag completely raised and do they have a duty to the community to report an assessment that he is a threat? Or, is their responsibility only to their community of the campus? I think this is relative to the early police reports of Columbine perpetrators prior to the event and also the family who continued to report close to the event.
