Give it up.
The war on families brought about by the failed “Great Society” and specifically the disdain for fathers has brought this on.
Remember Columbine’s asshats [refuse to use their names] were discussing ‘Pulp Fiction’ and who would play them in the movie that would surely [in their minds at least] be made about their horrendous crimes.
This is all about fame/infamy and how to get attention.
A child will act out just to get attention, good or bad, it makes no difference to them, as long as they get the attention they crave...................
“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.”
All the shooters have been male, and they may have all been socially isolated and depressed, but we know that they have all been medicated or play violent video games at a higher rate than their gender age groups?
Where is the evidence?
Has anyone gone Postal at a postal facility, since Gun Free Zones were introduced in 1990 by Joe Biden?
Nothing wrong with video games; in moderation.
Nothing wrong with medication; IF appropriate.
What IS wrong is that modern society believes in “everything’s OK” and that little boys need to be drugged into behaving like little girls.
They’re late term abortionists.
No ... they are kids hell bent on revenge and that haven’t properly been taught to know the difference between good and evil.
No. They’re not.
Both my sons grew up playing those games, as well as going to the range with me, hunting, and playing paintball.
They managed to get through high school and now college without shooting up their classrooms.
Nope.
Too much social media
Teen boy has 35 facebook friends and sees a classmate with 5000, that would make you feel like a loser
Plus the media turns these nuts into instant celebrities when they do this, their names, pictures are plastered everyone and anywhere, talking heads, replays of their deeds are played for days on 24/7 news outlets.
That is why I believe we see more of this
Plus others have said, let boys be boys, not drugged up girls.
Back in the day, disputes were settled on the playground, fights would break out and school teachers/admins would break them up and give them detention or suspensions. Now days, police are called, and not just for fights, chewing a pop tart into a gun, stupid stuff as well. Boys can’t act out any way without becoming criminals. So it all gets bottled up, plus the bullying and the social media, and snap
Just my opnion
No. They’re simply undisciplined idiots.
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
Losers are losers. It’s always the hamburgers fault. Never the fatty. Same with guns.
Also playing a big role here is the "copy cat effect" given the enormous media attention.
