In reply to the discussion: Please no more sympathy for the shooter [View all]Deep State Witch
(12,530 posts)1. I Have NO Sympathy For Him
I grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs in the 70's and 80's. I was bullied mercilessly. It would have never occurred to me to pick up a gun. Probably because my dad wasn't a gun person, and never touched one after his stint in the Army. So, this little snot gets bullied because he's weird and a nerd. He gets "red-pilled" and gets into guns. He probably either shot TCF to be famous, or to be the start of a Civil War. I'm just sorry that he's dead instead of arrested.

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.

Interesting- some news reports saying his father is a psychologist & his mother a councilor

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."
