Eighteen years old.

Gunned down his grandmother.

Went to the school and killed 14 people.

One could almost imagine that he killed her and ran, found a secure place and went beserk--the school could have been a supermarket or a restaurant.

In that case, there'll be no motive ascertained.

Do they know what happens in prison to people who hurt children?

Or maybe they see Kyle Rittenhouse's celebrity and think that is their future?

....but I was speaking more generally. They don't always die. And do they know they will die when they go to do the crime?

It's a pattern. Misogyny and misanthropy and self-loathing and suicidal/homicidal rage, enabled by unfettered access to cheap weapons of war.

Odds are very low that this shooter ever watched his show.

Young men don't need Fox News to be angry at the world.
