Betting the shooter has a long history of problems and parents and teachers covered for him.
Predict-o-matic: Either a banger type, about a girl. Or a white boy just off aderol/ritalin/ssri’s.
Wow, Incels are crawling put of thw woodwork.
Solutions to stop these horrible incidents should have been immediately implemented after Columbine. Our elected officials are a disgrace, an absolute joke. Teachers should quietly pack heat. Don’t tell anyone, just bring your guns!
Why Fridays? I would have assumed Mondays
Perhaps the media is at fault for the increase in the number of school shootings by the reporting narratives -
- the shooters were bullied in school and this is how they dealt with it
- school shootings will result in increased anti-gun reporting in the press
- school shooters get their name and picture in the press
Media reporting has a way of producing copycats.
But, of course, I'm not.

I read a great article yesterday (which I can’t find now), about the cause of school shootings.
The title, or main idea, was “No one is in charge”. Having gone to public school from 1955-1968 and having seven kids, the last one of which is in third grade, made me really appreciate that description of what afflicts our schools.
When I was in school, even in high school, even in 1968, our days were structured around “do” and “do not”. The do’s and don’ts were pretty much derived from Western European protestant thought. This rigid authority structure created freedom to learn (or not) with a system of disincentives that were very broadly supported in the community.
My children, even my first, who went to school in 1985, have grown up under a system of “making good choices”. There is a soft reward system for “making a good choice”, but if you “make a bad choice” not a whole lot of a negative character happens to you.
When I was a libertarian, I believed that giving people freedom led to happiness. Of course, the unexamined premise is “freedom to do
what?” The non-aggression principle is fine to govern high-IQ groups of people with a strong moral upbringing, but is a disaster in the cesspools that our cities and suburbs have become.
At most schools, the adults are there as guides or inspirations to “young learners”. To use edspeak, they are not a “sage on the stage” but rather a “guide alongside”.
School shooters all make a bad choice the day they do their crime. The question which, as a practical matter does not exist in the environment where they spend most of their waking hours, is, “why shouldn’t I make this bad choice?”
By the time they are men (young men, but men nonetheless), disincentives are too late.
The Deep State no longer even bothers to hide their actions.
You combine a widespread pathological narcissism with a media ready to heap fame/infamy on an individual for an act like this and it’s bound to happen.

Students being released. I live about 7 miles from the school.
Provoked by lefties? There are way too many of these lately. Manchurian connections?
