Some comic or other has pointed out that after every mass shooting, the comments of the friends and neighbors about the culprit can be summarized by one of the following two sentences:
"He was always such a quiet, respectful kid."
or
"I always thought there was something a little funny about him."
BTW, have the gun nuts chimed in on the need for mandatory background checks for Harvard grads yet?
Have the feminists chimed in that she is a victim of the patriarchy?
And has anyone asked William "bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at" Ayers for comment yet?
Cheers!
Did you read today’s news? She shot her 18 year old brother to death in 1986 — her current age is in question, but she would have been about 19-20 (not a “juvenile”). Never got charged, and the police who responded and investigated weren’t happy about that — they knew it was no “accident”.

And I just love this helpful detail from the article: “A 9-millimeter handgun was found in the bathroom of the building where the shootings occurred, and Huntsville police spokesman Sgt. Mark Roberts said Bishop did not have a permit for it.”
Isn’t it great that Alabama has a gun permit scheme? Works so well. < /s>
Locking up murderers, permanently, would be a heck of a lot more effective.
