In the future, more and more kids are going to be bullied in class, by their teachers, for their white proviledge. This kid, even though white, was probably bullied for other reasons.

And, if you have been bullied why just scatter shots at random? Why not set a trap for the bullying Aholes and get them?

I only partially buy it. More likely is coming down off anti-Depressants.

This kid thinks his life was a pile of dog squeeze before - Real Life is about to say, “Hold my beer.”

#9: "Ritalin?"

Most probably. It seems like every kid in the world is on Ritalin. Mostly because it is used to control boys. When I was a kid we called it "recess".

We had morning recess, and lunchtime recess. We used to run around like crazy playing games like "smear the queer". Boys have a lot of energy like puppies, and need to burn it off, otherwise they can't sit still.

“This kid, even though white, was probably bullied for other reasons.”

Starting with his last name...

In 1846, the state of Michigan abolished the death penalty except for treason. Michigan abolished capital punishment completely in 1963.

SHAME, SHAME on the voters and politicians of Michigan!!!

For as aggressive as social media is on “misinformation,” they have no problem with a 15 year old posting a picture of a handgun to their Insta feed.

“I was bullied mercilessly in middle school”

How did things go as the years went on? By the way, I like happy endings.

I went on to a very successful career in cybersecurity. Last I heard, my bully was turning wrenches at a local tire shop. The whole experience taught me empathy in a way that I wouldn’t recommend anyone else learn it.

I find these stories about kids going in and committing wholesale killing/murders quite bizarre and I am very suspect of all of it. Why didn't this happen on a routine basis in the 40s, 50s and 60s? Widespread neglect of the youngsters? Drugs? Pharmaceuticals? Could it be the schools scaring hell out of these kids by constantly telling them the earth is going to burn up in 11 more years and were all going to die because of climate change?

I find these cases most inquisitive.

I wonder if they’re going to try to also hold the father criminally liable for an unsecured firearm. I believe some states allow that. Heck, encourage that.

Fortunately, Michigan is not one of those state where the father could be held criminally liable for not securing the firearm against unauthorized use by a minor.

However, that will not resolve the father from civil liability for the loss of life, injuries, and trauma caused by the shootings.

Expect the father to be dragged into civil court and sued into bankruptcy by the families of the victims, assisted by anti-gun groups such as the Brady Campaign which will provide free legal counsel.

I have similar questions.

SSRIs? Drugs of abuse? And I also wonder about such things as blood level of vitamin D3 (deficiency?).

None of the above would be an excuse, of course, however it might be useful general info.

When I was a kid they moved your (or in this case my) desk up next to the teachers. :)

“Bullied, or just another “Incel” loser?”

Most children 15 years old would be better served by not partaking in sexual activity,

I gather you were one of the “in” crowd in high school. 15 years old is not old enough to obtain the “loser” label.

Teenagers aren't totally stupid.
Students cower together in the back of a classroom, hiding as an armed gunman rips through the halls, killing four and injuring seven others.

Then, comes a knock on the door.

“Sheriff's office. It's safe to come out,” a voice from outside the classroom says.

Inside, a man replies: “We're not willing to take that risk right now.”

The person outside is insistent.

“It's OK,” the voice says. “Open the door. It's all right, bro.”

When students hear the person outside use the word “bro,” pandemonium erupts. They quickly come to the conclusion that it's the shooter because a sheriff's deputy would be unlikely to use the word “bro.”

“He said bro,” a teenage boy says, standing up amid the chaos. “Red flag.”

It’s Dickensian. Nerdly. More than enough to be picked on, certainly white enough to broadcast.

oppressed victim.

Well, actually aren’t most 15 year old boys ‘incels’?

And 15 year olds haven’t lived long enough to cultivate that much hate/anger.

Can there really be this much extreme mental illness?

“I was bullied mercilessly in middle school. I even stood up to my bully and was beaten bloody. The bullying was even worse thereafter. I never once considered using a weapon outside of my own fists.”

These days the bullied kids like you would get bullied by the counselors who would torture you as being a potential school shooter. That’s what will happen this time, too.

It never occurs to the idiots who run the public schools to stop the bullying. Nope, they just love to torture the victims.
