Handwriting of Amish Schoolhouse Killer Shows He Was a Ticking Time Bomb

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette asked me to analyze the handwritten suicide note of Charles Carl Roberts IV, the milk truck driver who shot 13 Amish children in a one-room school-house in Pennsylvania.

From Roberts’ handwriting, I could see that he was a “ticking time bomb,” ready to explode. You can read the article and view a copy of his letter at http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06278/727605-85.stm

I found this article very interesting. I was really saddened by this event. I think I can understand an outraged student hating a teacher. Or even a kid who was bullied having revenge on the popular kids in school. But, these poor Amish kids were so innocent. This crime is beyond my comprehension.
