Showing Original Post only (View all)Please no more sympathy for the shooter [View all]
I know people here have big hearts and thats why I love it here. Im sorry if this kid was bullied in school, I really am. But he doesnt get to kill two people and jeopardize the futures of 360 million people to decide their own destiny.
Its always these violent killers who matter more than the rest of us -What made Little Adolph so violent? I dont know and I dont care.
Justifying his destructive rage is not helpful in promoting a civilized society. It sends a message to all the other lone wolves that its ok to express their rage by blowing up the world.
And take their damned guns . Please.

True. Almost everything I've said about this shooter applies to Orange guy.

I guess what I'm trying to say without really saying is that KILLING is the reason.

Found that interesting. Like the Idaho killer. Mother and sister were therapists.

If their abuse has caused them to be mentally ill they never felt seen or heard so they have resentment towards society

I was shocked at some of the posts here i saw right after the shooting. It's like there was no humanity.

Sorry, Abolitionist. I should have pointed out that "he was a good kid who did a bad thing"

I have to believe that there is something in you that says "my pain doesn't translate to inflicting pain on others."
