Anthony Barbaro's story is one you would never expect out of a school shooting. Some of the shooters have been psychopaths- no remorse, no pity, no nothing. Barbaro is still a killer, but there's something else about him.... I found those notes he left very touching.

[Adinax86]

There is much depth in his words. It´s sad and tragic that a person like him ended up where he did.

[Adinax86]

It ends like it began; in the middle of the night. Someone might think it selfish or cowardly to take one´s own life. Maybe so, but it´s the only free choice I have.

The way I figure, I lose either way.If I´m found not guilty, I won´t survive the pain I´ve caused - my guilt. If I´m convicted, I won´t survive the mental and physical punishment of my life in prison.

[Adinax86]

Here are some other excerpts from his suicide notes (from St. Petersburg Times):

I regret the foods I´ll never taste, the music I´ll never hear, the sites I´ll never see, the accomplishments I´ll never accomplish. In other words, I regret my life.

[Adinax86]

His suicide note might give some insight into his mind:

"People aren´t really afraid to die - it´s how they die. I don´t fear death, but rather the pain. But no more"

"Some will always ask, ´Why?´ I don´t know - no one will. What has been, can´t be changed. I´m sorry.

So he couldn´t offer any explanation for what he did.

[Adinax86]

but I think that might have been the issue in some way. He was involved in too many things and probably felt the need to excel in everything he did.

[Adinax86]

Before he hanged himself, he told his uncle that "the pressure just got the best of me". He was smart, ranked ninth in his senior class of nearly 300 and had won a college scholarshipo a week before the shootings.

No it's not.
