11. The "bullied mercifully" quote came from exactly one teenager.

That is it. And has been repeated around the internet as if it is an absolute fact. No other evidence. One anecdotal comment by an immature individual with a camera in his face does not make the truth. Pictures of him in school settings do not show that at all.

President Biden has called this incident "sick". Those who have saluted the shooter on this site (many posts) or showed sympathy for him are going against the President.
