But kids didn’t walk into kindergartens, solo, and blast 20 small children. That is 100% new.

The "kid" was 20 years old, IE an adult. Adults killing kids is, unfortunately, nothing new, even if charging into a school is.

BTW, girls play many of these games and watch many of these movies too. Why aren't they charging into classrooms and shooting up the place before killing themselves? Maybe it's time to stop blaming race, religion, political affiliation, etc., and start asking why so many males are doing this?

“BTW, girls play many of these games and watch many of these movies too.”

Girls, unfortunately, are catching up fast. What about that crazed professor in Alabama? Probably murdered her brother in MA as well. Also, many incidents of truly shocking violence committed by adolescent girls (single perp, single victim)

I blame WOMEN...plain and simple. Which really sucks because I am one.

Ask yourself one question....What has been the nucleus of civilized society, time immortal? The family.

I grew up in the 70’s, small town Texas, and received very little women’s-lib indoctrination. I and my friends were raised to seek a decent man to build a life and family with. My brothers were raised to be decent men who would be expected to provide for a family. Our hopes/dreams were having a family of our own.

Since the late 70’s, early 80’s, WOMEN have been empowered to basically kill off the family. We’ve masculine-i zed our daughters and emasculated our sons. Unfettered access to birth control/abortion, no consequence sex, total women’s-lib immersion at school, and how many of us have also told our daughters that they don’t need a man to take care of them? They’ve been told since birth that they either need to be strong & self-reliant or a government dependent. You are the master of your own destiny! No man is required. Home and family?? Nah, you’ve got bigger & better things to do, little girl!

And, no decent men need apply anyway, ‘cause guess what? We WOMEN haven’t raised many! We’ve raised “baby-daddys”! The other side of the coin. Knock some girl up? Don’t worry son, she can take care of it herself! She’s your EQUAL and LET herself get pregnant! Or, when the WOMEN allow the progeny to survive to birth, and then it’s shut up and pay me for the next 18 years! The men have so little say so in anything that the decent ones rarely even try beyond paying child support. We’ve allowed the WOMEN to become all powerful and the men to become an unneeded, unwanted, worthless joke.

The guys who aren’t sought after by WOMEN, the “geeky”, “sensitive”, awkward, quiet, shy, powerless ones, escape into fantasy land. Exceedingly violent video games or drugs, etc. Their imaginations are the only place they can feel powerful and respected. Being heroes in glorious bravery has been humiliated out of them. Being FAMOUS is now what they strive for.

In my opinion, this disrespect of men and of life itself, is certainly a contributor to violence like this. Life is cheap now days. Guys are TAUGHT that they must deny the best of their nature (to provide & protect), and only give free rein to their baser nature (violence/seek sex) to compete for women and be respected by other men. It’s a wonder we don’t have more young men that do idiotic sh*t like this.
