Where is the evidence?

Today's political correctness is on steroids thanks to the left and Democrats who politicize everything
Since the 1999 school shooting in Columbine, CO, it appears that a typecast of the shooters has emerged: teen boys who are depressed, isolated, medicated, jilted, have absentee or divorced parents, and play violent video games.
he latest school shooter opened fire at Santa Fe High School in Texas on last Friday, killing 10 and wounding 13. Police arrived on scene and engaged in a 30-minute shootout. The shooter targeted and murdered a teen girl who rebuffed his advances.
Exactly! Very few “single” moms have the “dad” gene and the ability to put their boot up the kid’s backside. Dad as the authority figure is all but gone. He has been relegated to a “visitor” and ATM
No. They’re simply undisciplined idiots.
Yes.
BINGO!
L.O.B. (lack of belt)
So many kids need toughening up. they are all hurt little snowflakes with panic attacks due to their fee fees being bruised.
Rarest wife brought up a good point the other day as well: parents can’t yoke up their misbehaving kids in public and redden their rumps anymore. When we were kids, if we misbehaved, mom would grab us by the arm and swat our asses. Nowadays that solicits a call to local law enforcement for some perceived “child abuse.” We aren’t allowed to discipline our children anymore.
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
Poor parenting and lack of safety awareness on the part of adults who are (not) raising these kids is the problem, but no one is going to actually cause them to be better parents so we should not look there.
The two things we need to do, and pay the price, are 1. harden the schools, with our metal detecting and armed body guard understanding. The schools need to be limited access and controlled — see cruise ships for the example. and 2. The use of firearms needs to be permitted in the case of highly trained and local personnel at the schools. There is no reason an adult on a campus should not have a concealed firearm if they are trained as well as a peace officer. The school can hire these people and maintain their certification and they can come from the administration, teaching, and coaching staff or be specifically hired as resource officers.
These things need to be done because we cannot make parents be better — some will heed the call, but to many don’t know what to do.

This guy had a father at home, who had 2 guns the son used to murder people with.

Losers are losers. It’s always the hamburgers fault. Never the fatty. Same with guns.
Our public school kids are being systematically re-engineered to fit a psychological mold they can better control.
"Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework based on research in the learning sciences, including cognitive neuroscience, that guides the development of flexible learning environments that can accommodate individual learning differences."
THIS is the explanation foisted on the school boards that vote yes to surveil our children:
Upper echelon educators are being trained through Harvard (primarily) to probe a child's thoughts so that they may develop a plan to guide each child to end up in a common thought process.
Notice the word "Neuroscience" in the description.
They've been at this a long time and IMO, some kids are just getting more feral because what should be a civilized thought pattern for life ... is not, but a planned program that (I believe) the young mind knows something isn't right, but does not have the cognitive tools to discern and protect itself against.
The parents are clueless.
If they ask, they're told the school is watching for "at risk" kids.
"UDL-aligned strategies are instructional methods and tools used by teachers to ensure that ALL students have an equal opportunity to learn. All of our strategies are aligned with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines.
Scroll down to; "The state is collecting data on our kids"
The modern, progressive public school (government indoctrination center), realizes the public is not happy so it is endeavoring to make as many kids as it can SPEDS (Special Education) in order to keep and increase government (tax) tax money flowing in.
It's time to shut the entire concept of public schooling down.
Do not mistake absence of evidence for evidence of absence.
Virtually all these mass murderers (STOP CALLING THEM SHOOTERS!!!) either were known mental defectives, were taking psychoactive drugs, came from a dysfunctional and/or single parent home, or some combination of the three.
"According to our research, at least 59% of the 185 public mass shootings that took place in the United States from 1900 through 2017 were carried out by people who had either been diagnosed with a mental disorder or demonstrated signs of serious mental illness prior to the attack...."

"...[W]e need to find better ways to address the stunning commonality in all these mass shootings, which is that the men who perpetrate them are sick -- Las Vegas, Pulse nightclub, Newtown, Columbine, Charleston, Virginia Tech, Tucson, Aurora -- on and on, these killers were mentally ill and in almost every case, someone knew it...."

"...Psychologist Peter Langman collected data showing that the vast majority of shooters come from households characterized by divorce and separation, abuse and neglect, alcoholism, and drug addiction.
"Out of this sample of 56 school shooters, only 10 (18%) grew up in a stable home with both biological parents," Langman wrote in an article titled "School Shooters: The Myth of a Stable Home."
"In other words," he continued, "82% of the sample either grew up in dysfunctional families or without their parents together (for at least part of their lives)...."

Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill : A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence, by LtCol Dave Grossman
ISBN-10: 0609606131, ISBN-13: 978-0609606131
Yep! Which are run by caseworkers who are “single moms” who have their own set of ferals at home. (I know. . my hubby’s ex-shrew is one of them)
Also playing a big role here is the "copy cat effect" given the enormous media attention.
Didn’t imply there wasn’t. Society, the media, and government, specifically the judicial system, have turned men into inutile cows who can’t do anything right and are deserving of ridicule. Men and fathers have been typecast into a role akin to Homer Simpson, and kids see them in the same light. Dad probably came home after toiling for the day, plopped on the couch with a beer, and mom doted around the house.
If we don’t portray men, and esp. fathers, as strong, necessary producers in the nuclear family, then children won’t see them that way and will not respect them. Many men are not just absent from the family nowadays, when they are around, they’re just as absent from the family in practice as those who aren’t in the picture at all.
Video games are not so bad as many ppl think. Video games are not a reason of terrorists attacks, it’s a bad upbringing. It all starts with a family.
Video games as for me are a great stress reliever. For instance I often play shooters like CS:GO but I have never had an idea to shoot in somebody in a real life.
I use https://dreamteam.gg/csgo platform because there are many other players and I can even take part in champions.
