ppl scrambling to find ways to stop mass shootings. just teach your kids to treat ppl with respect. U know what u NEVER hear during this, how much that shooter was likely tortured by those kids. I don't have alot of sympathy for these victims

That's what you get, in a society, that separates between people, where only bullets say otherwise, and that's the message, ofc people are so idiot to understand what im saying, if not, that's not enough.

It's good to have compassion for the shooters too instead of simply hating and demonizing them--they're humans too. But the victims deserve sympathy too. Like others have said, they don't just go in and shoot the people who tortured them, they shoot randomly. One of the shootings, I don't remember which one but it was a major one, the shooter was severely autistic and I guess taking care of him was too much for his mother so she was going to put him in some kind of "home"... he got insanely jealous of the kids she loved and cared for at school so he went in and massacred them. Had nothing to do with the action of the kids.

Scott is correct, they frequently do not attack only their tormentors, and some of them don't even have particular people they target, just an archetype (or even just something a general as 'any woman')
