I mean- you've mentioned a good chunk of it already

wait no feminism

I never got school shooting jokes

shit

perhaps they're aimed at a younger audience

He would look like vin diesel crossed with heath ledger

But its this innocent looking kid

You know, despite what might be thought, humans are a very, very tolerant species

You really have to push someone to make them snap and murder a bunch of people

Remember caring about mass shootings, ah those were the more innocent days...

even spiders can cooperate if there's enough food to go around

Some people have different tolerance levels

they usually kill each other on sight 😛 but in abundant times they combine their webs etc

but all in all, we shy away from killing

I was thinking about killing people. But then I realised how edgy that is

So for a 16 year old, or 18, or however old he was, to pick up a gun and shoot a load of people, he'd totally lost his mind

yeah, normal reaction when dealing with the assholes at school, just need outlets, kids need direction

It must have taken a lot

it's also a failing of parents

Now I just wanna kill really bad people in a war, where the odds are even

It's because of modern parenting

direction, outlets, and discipline 😛

Young men are incredibly durable and resilient

we've created a generation of weak people

there's this weird notion as well that people are what they are and they *should* stay the same

it's bizarre

I would be less surprised if the dude was 35 and had more of life experience to temper or break him

education is not for expressing yourself, it's for making yourself worth expressing

But for elliot to do all that, what pushed him so far he killed?

You would have to relentlessly bully someone every single day, that might do it

ability, lack of perceived options, lack of discipline for the reason to control the impulse

I guess he was rejected by women and bullied a lot

He had a nice car

And a nice face

He didn't look that bad

These kids are getting brain bombed with bullshit, lost and wondering if they'll ever self validate themselves, when society approaches it with indifference "I dunno you figure it out" and all their personal efforts get met with hostility, they get super doomy, then angry, then buy weapons, eventually, you have your event...

It had to have been really cruel

yeah i see that in my parents lol red

Yeah and then you have Columbine

You know, it's the parents fault

Nikolas, I think he was actually mental
