Yes, a great opportunity missed.
Finally, a murder-suicide killer does it in the right order.
He got his weapon from home, just as the Sandy Hook killer did. As long as parents pass background checks, their sons will have guns, no matter what laws are passed.
Big problem: “...expressed admiration for Columbine school shooters...”
Simple correction: no names or pictures of these killers. Hang them (if they live); cremate them, and dispose of the ashes.
No publicity at all.
“... said he wanted to leave “a lasting impression on the world,”
More shootings will happen thanks to the MSM’s constant barrage of “news” on the latest happenings. As above, the gutless and mindless press is encouraging the next event.
And the beat goes on.
The gun control crowd will count this incident in their list of school shootings.
It’s scary that a 13 yo can think like this.
Public schools have been adopting anti bullying, anti harassment, anti- _______________ policies for AT LEAST twenty years !!!
ALL of those policy regulations come loaded with surveillance programs that document a child from the moment he's enrolled until graduation (and perhaps beyond .... but let's stick to the present matter)
ANY CHILD THAT DOES SOMETHNG WEIRD HAS BEEN TAGGED FOR A LONG TIME AND THEY ALL KNEW IT.
The problem is that NO ONE has the "authority" to actually do anything except document and perhaps medicate the child.
We Americans need to take back our posterity.
THEY CAN NO LONGER HAVE OUR KIDS !
Every parent that says "I can't" homeschool my kids probably has about three hundred PMA memes on their social media page that they have "liked" and passed on to others .......
But when it comes to their own children it's "I CAN'T" .. ????
I’ve always said, “Why don’t these crazy guys shoot themselves instead of others? There is no point in shooting a bunch of innocents, and then shooting yourself. Shoot yourself first, be done with it, and save everyone else the pain.”
This guy did it. He has my respect.
I wonder what anti-depressants/ADD meds this kid was on.
I’m sure we’ll find out shortly. /s
If we go ahead and stipulate the idea that shooters are previously disturbed people being manipulated into killing and then suicide the question becomes “who would do that?” One possibility would be Satanists. Perhaps they would consider that as achieving sacrifices to their deity.
“The Deep State is very sad.”
Really. These shootings all have the same “look and feel”, don’t they? In the Parkland case it almost appears, looking from a distance, that they deliberately left him on simmer and were waiting for the boil over.
These kids are dead inside.
I looked up the date of basketball diaries with matt damon or DiCaprio can’t tell them apart and i don’t care, it seems this movie influenced all these school shootings. So it’s more Hollywood’s fault than the nra.
This was right down the road from me.
His organs were donated. His death saved 5 lives.
