His adoptive Mother? What happened to his birth Mother (and Father?)
The perps of these shootings are disturbed boys on mind-altering meds, most taken for years, who feel lonely and unloved. The Columbine shootings that were covered wall-to-wall by the media set the pattern for these disturbed boys to get attention and to get revenge on those who did not befriend them.
So what do we see today? Wall-to-wall coverage of another shooting by just such a boy. We are sure to have more of these.
The media and the other Leftists want to limit the Second Amendment to combat the shootings. How about curbing the First Amendment, too, limiting the coverage given to these terrible events?
Funny how the media goes exactly by the book calling this eyewitnessed mass murderer a “suspect” but illegal aliens are described as “immigrants” as if there is no difference between someone who breaks in and someone who follows the legal process.
Ban teeth, ban eggs. Wouldn't matter, this kid spelled trouble. There are kids like this out there, some don't become news but sometimes one will be a mass killer. There's a kid like this in my neighborhood. Moody, always wearing a hoodie with head down, drug-addict single mom, police called out numerous times, social worker always coming out. You never know who is going to snap. I hate hearing of innocents being slain by crazies, feel bad for those parents whose kids are slain.
So, law abiding folks, give up your guns and a shooting like this will NEVER happen again and our extremely competent government bureaucrats will successfully mount an effort to collect all 400 million guns in America and we will all live happy and safe ever after.
Sure!
Wait till the friends and family members see his future, if they think that he had a troubled past. Folks, you ain’t seen nothing, yet!
Remember when our churches would be there for this family?
How about the boy scouts to have men for these boys to look up to? When neighbors, family and friends would come together to help each other in need? We, as a society, have fallen so far from God, and most don’t see it.
Maybe if the young man had someone he could talk to this would not have happened.
I don’t really care to know anything about him other than on which day will he be drawn and quartered?
Likely drug-addicted natural mother
Adolescent boy
On Prozac /or ssri
No strong father figure.
No repercussions for crime.
No repercussions for hurting animals,others.
With this combo, intervention must be firm, consistent, and results oriented. The idea of religion can be very helpful, but not if the drugs in infancy or later are too much.
The worst thing for the boy is to talk to a female therapist about feelings.
He might have a short future too!
We have no mental health safety net in this country; it is a folking disgrace
I don’t recall any sob story press about the white supremacist who shot up that predominantly black church or that driver who’s vehicle was being attacked with baseball bats by masked anarchist-Communists.
This shooter was an ADULT and an EX-student. He had made previous threats and was a KNOWN WOLF.
Lock up the crazy people already.
And there was a higher body count at the Orlando shooting.
When the press proclaims this to be more touching/impact/hurtful, are they downplaying the lives of gay men in a bar vs. young students?
Suspect.
Pfft. I hope they captured the right guy if they AREN’T SURE...
So?
Lots of people have a “troubled history”, they don’t go around shooting up schools.
He has a “troubled” and possibly very short future also.
Killed animals before moving up to humans. That’s a common precursor.
Ah, here we go with the mental case. Once again ignoring the radical islam connection. Gotta circle and protect those muslims.
That’s a shame.
Now put him down.
The root of the problem most likely stems from the original reason that he had an adoptive mom.
Violation of the trust between the mother and young child, even when in the womb, is a powerful influence on the developing child’s personality and values.
Think Jason Borne.
