... The Pakistani Embassy in Washington, D.C., confirmed that exchange student Sabika Sheikh was killed in the shooting. Sabika was an exchange student with YES, which is funded by the U.S. State Department. It provides scholarships for secondary school students from countries with significant Muslim populations to spend one academic year in the U.S.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sent his "deepest condolences" to her friends and family in a statement Saturday.

“....... for his rage is spent and he feels better after the killings. These were studies from the seventies and sixties.”..........
Apparently this kid never read that report.

“He should have just killed himself.”......
Does Texas no longer have the death penalty? If they do, then use it for something good. Rid the world of people like that animal.

“......the only time in their lives any one pays them attention is when they commit a deadly rampage.”........

I was bullied in grade school; beat up, taunted, called four eyes, bucked tooth, metal mouth, bike wreaked and thrown into a swamp, stepped on, etc. I had 90 lb. weakling syndrome.
Never was on any drugs. I would have liked to beat the crap out of the bullies, but never wanted to kill anyone. As time passed, most of those bullies ended up in jail and most are dead now 40 years later. If I want to get back at them I could piss on their graves, but I have better things to do.

Another program that should never have been funded by my tax dollars. How many thousands of others are draining the cash out of the Middle Class?

Theyre pretty much invisible. Exactly, said the mentor, and theyre the most at-risk kids of the whole bunch.
This is my view of the "typical' school shooter. .
The Parkland shooter aside, most of the killers were most described as "quiet", "lone," and "nice"..
Despite the current thinking that the kids were on drugs, I have yet to read much authentic information about these troubled teens receiving anti-psychotic medications. Only Adam Lanza of Sandy Hook fell into this category.
The only conspiracy is the system herding all kids in these "mega-schools' where a struggling teen is ignored until he becomes a problem. This goes well with the working/absent parent memes as well.
One more thing. The prevailing attitude from the media and society in general that al kids are 'special" and "unique" when most are just, well average. Yet their expectations are unrealistic. And when failure happens, as we all have failed to one degree or another , they snap and grab the nearest weapon and head toward their selected target.
In this case, a girl(or more) rejected his advances and his pain of rejection turned into blind rage and he set out to get "revenge"
At least this is my view, I may be wrong.

I think social media and the advent of smart phones is a big alienating force in society.
