Wednesday was the first time Jon Romano shared his testimony publicly before an audience of people in his hometown—at 16 years old, he brought a gun to school with a plan to kill others and die in the process. Romano was foiled almost immediately by the assistant principal, and spent 17 years in prison. Upon his release, Romano began sharing his story in what he says is an effort to raise awareness about what caused him to resort to violence.
He even launched a TikTok account with a stated goal of prevention, a move that is rife with controversy, and understandably so. After all, his actions were life-altering for his victims, and I can’t know whether he’s truly reformed or simply psychopathic. But, what is worth noting, is that much of the opposition to Romano’s online presence comes from the side that screams about “second chances” and promotes the idea that victimizers are actually “victims” themselves, and should therefore be exempt from punitive consequences. (While it’s true that we are all victims of one another’s sin, it doesn’t negate the need for earthly justice.)

Romano experienced sexual abuse, and was abandoned by his father—right then and there, this little boy’s whole world came apart. He wanted to be seen, and with the undeveloped reasoning skills of a child, he acted in a way that he knew would force others to see him. The trajectory of his life is completely predictable, which is why conservatives fight so hard to ensure children are protected from the wickedness and tragedy of a fallen world, and pass on traditional family ideals. Sacrificial love and morality are the antidotes to violence, which is why you will never see these ideals embraced by the left.

Most of the mass shooters lately have been “trans” or gender confused. The confusion is just a tool for the left.
As usual in the perverted stinking American press, the problem ends up being the only one knowing what the solution really is, and becomes a guru. Then it makes lots of money.
well since you would have to be mentally ill to do such a thing, it would stand to reason that the mentally ill trans and gays would be over-represented.
Perhaps we could learn from the Tranny Manifesto.
“Sacrificial love and morality are the antidotes to violence...”
Just hearing that truth sounds so good! “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
Romano is just a good Democrat who blames everybody else for his own actions.
Good fathers are far more important than the Left will ever admit. Neither the state nor a village are equal substitutes for a good father. God our father is the standard.
This is the standard school shooter story.
Why would you shoot innocent children?
Because it is the simplest way to achieve fame!
In our crazy society, you can solve all societal problems, get five Nobel prices, achieve hundreds of patents, help millions, and few will care.
But get yourself a gun, shoot few kids, and you will be infamous instantly.
I would suggest, that (almost) all school shooting could be prevented by just ignoring the story.
School shootings are not caused by guns, but by the media!
Now I can’t get “Trannifesto” out of my head. :)
Yes. It’s always someone else’s fault. Such is the cry of the truly mentally defective.
