    No, acknowledging the problem is not the same as making excuses.

    These people are fucked in the head. They got that way somehow. And we have that problem more than other first world countries.

    That's not making excuses, IMO. It's actually trying to address problem.

    So the dad bought the gun a few days before and told kid to not talk to authorities. If his ass doesn’t end up in prison then what. This is the type of stuff that needs harsh law enforcement that miiiiiight help a little bit. Hold daddy accountable

    The problem is the shooter and the gun. Stop with the baby gloves in handling these people.

    Some people are just crazy. No bullying, just crazy.

    And they snap.

    No I am not. Go back and read my posts. There is no excuse for bringing a gun to school. That is not how you solve problems. There is no excuse for it.

    I'm not justifying anything. I am simply looking at the physiology and psychology of these events.

    The divisional language you use..."normies" "psycho kids" etc is part of the problem.

    I said the kids who shoot up schools are fucked up in the head.

    And you respond "BUT BULLIES!"

    Yeah, that's making an excuse.

    I mean I kinda get what you’re saying but it’s not like bullying - real bullying - doesn’t or can’t have a huge impact on a kid. Now, that kid probably already has some underlying psychological issues, but can’t being bullied push him over the edge? Again. No excuse. Plenty get bullied and don’t whip out a gun. But it can impact an unstable kid easily.

    That was not my response.

    I said something akin to bullies are fucked up in the head too, meaning I didn't disagree with what you said. I just added a point.

    I'm not excusing anything.

    Not everything gets solved by pampering and hand holding. As a matter of fact, often it just results in enabling more of the same behavior.

    Yes.

    This is what happens in many cases.

    Like I said, people interpret things different. What's normal behavior to someone is bullying to another. Someone living a good life, can make people resentful and that person would feel that they are inferior or are being bullied because they aren't living the same life.

    Sure, there are bullys out there and dicks who push kids into lockers and crap like that. Those guys usually end up as losers in life anyway too.

    There are no baby gloves. These shooters go to jail for the rest of their lives.

    Some people are crazy sure. Some people are pushed to that point.

    Again, you are making an excuse. There is no justification for a mass shooter. Its on them and them alone.

    I'm not making an excuse. I'm not excusing their actions. I'm not justifying kids shooting people. Again, I'm looking behind the curtain at what leads to it.

    True bullying that everyone would agree to, happens a lot. And when it happens to an unstable person, crazy shit happens. Doesn’t excuse shooting people. Just saying less bullying would be a good thing.

    Kids should be forced to take martial arts as part of PE. Learn some fucking respect!

    Better than square dancing.

    you mean like calling and labeling people uncaring for not behaving like you?

    you try to bully people here regularly with your condescending tone claiming others are idiots, need to die, uncaring, blah blah blah.

    Don't think you don't bully people…

    There is no evidence to support your stance. We have more crazy people than other first world countries.

    That has nothing to do with guns.

    Other countries ostracize the crazies from society. Keep em locked up in the basement.

    Other first world countries treat them, medically.
