I feel more sorry for him than many others. I think the system failed him and his victims.
He was young and without parents and he snapped.
I was in a mass shooting too, and there are huge differences between Cruz and the shooter at my work.
This seems by other accounts to be a situation where the ooh lah lah liberal “village” failed in its self-appointed task. Cruz was known to be mean and hot tempered for whatever reason, but was doing better for a while in a specialized school. But we know, budgets. He couldn’t be kept there, and was mainstreamed. That was like turning a shark loose in a minnow tank.
That’s one of the saddest things about the modern left to me — when it finds the occasional blind-squirrel nut, it has wasted so many resources doing so that it can’t even deal with that situation effectively.
I understand and I’m sure glad you made it, luckystarmom!
