My thoughts..... This incident is sadly the picture of what ails America. It is well known that many asian americans in the big cities end up as gang members participating in violent gang activities. Some of the reasons attributed to this is, a lack of identity(unable to identify or "belong" to a peer group) amongst young asian americans, social isolation based on their race. Indian americans are also included amongst asian americans. It comes as somewhat of a shock to me that an asian was responsible for this incident. In the past, I believe such crimes are commited by mainstream american ethnic or religious groups. Eg. Whites, African Americans, Muslims, etc. The investigations into this incident will most likely reveal the difficulties that asians go through in American society. Also, the USA is a hotbed for crime, and probably has the highest crime rates amongst developed nations.
