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
Why do you think the media was so quick to denounce the new Joker film?
Because it calls them out. They glorify the perps and crimes in the media in this film and in reality, thats what they do with mass shooters in the US, too. They make them famous. Joker holds a mirror up to society and says look, this is you.
The media WANTED there to be a killing related to this film. So they could gain ratings off it.
Of course, people just need to stop being complete bastards to each other. I don't agree wholly with the sentiment that its only ever the perp at fault but its mostly the case.
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY.
But, the victims usually AREN'T the ones who caused the shooter to snap. Thats a load of cock and bull.
..point is, the victims are not the bullies by any stretch.
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.
So many things have to change for the better, but it will be worthwhile.
