Even though I done some dumbass stuff before like stealing from a store or smoking pot, I don't blame the music that I listen to or anything. It my fault that I did that stuff not my parent or anything. Just in this case, it was the kid fault that he shoot that other kid, no one told him to do it or anything.

I agree with you in some ways and in some ways I don't.
First of all, I do agree that lots of kids from "good" families do things like drink, smoke pot, and maybe even minor theft and things of that nature.
I also agree that it is possible for kids from "bad" families can turn out to be wonderful people, just like kids from "good" families can end up doing things like this.
But...that is the exception. It is much more likely for a kid to do something like this if he/she has parents who have gotten too caught up in work or other things instead of truly getting to know their kids and spend time with them.
I'm not saying parenting is an easy job. I don't have kids, and I know that as of right now I'm not ready to.
But...when you do decide to have kids, that is a responsibility, and to at least some degree you are responsible for what they do. In general, the more parents truly love their children, spend time with them, and teach them the right things, the more likely it is that the kids will turn out okay (not perfect, but okay).
