The Boomtown Rats (Bob Geldof) had a hit song with "I don't like Mondays" which was about Brenda Ann Spencer's 1979 shooting spree in San Diego. She was 16. Killed 2, injured 9. She's still in jail.
When asked why she did it she said “I don’t like Mondays”
She said she went on a shooting spree because she didn’t like going to school on Mondays.
Didn’t know that, but the lyrics make a lot more sense now.
There have been several women in the new recently killing multiple people. This is one of the first ‘mass killings’ I can recall. Curious to hear her connection to the school, her mental history, etc.
All this time & I had no idea!
