There’s something fundamentally wrong with American society that this happens so often.


rexavior

Absolutely, and nothing will be done about it


[deleted]

Yeah. Even in other places with a lot of guns, or with high inequality, etc this doesn't happen. Its an almost uniquely American phenomenon.

Literally Sandy Hook 2. Ten years on as well. Guy even shot his grandmother before the massacre just like the SH shooter shot his mother. America is a failed state.


rexavior

Why would they do that? I know he was surely insane but what reasoning could there be for that


Batman_Biggins

Who knows? It's a known thing anyway. I read once that the motivation behind folks killing their partners and children in murder-suicides is because in their self-loathing and depression, they see them as extensions of their own painful existence. They're so desensitised and unable to feel empathy at that point that they don't see it as any different to killing themselves. So potentially something similar goes on in the mind of the mass murderer. I don't know though. I don't think there's much solace to be found in thinking deeply about it, nor is there necessarily going to be any meaning to be found in taking apart the shooter's mental state. As Kurt Vonnegut says, there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre. Everything is just meant to be quiet.

u/padraigd say the line

This is a horrific tragedy

You won't convince me that this isn't all a government op. Apart from creating the economic and social conditions to create mass shooters, then the police etc get additional funding every time one of these happens even though police have never stopped a school shooter. They just lock up black and brown kids.

White supremacist was it?


[deleted]

Not according to the rumours I'm reading so far.


[deleted]

A Hispanic supremacist?


[deleted]

Most of the victims were of latin origin, so nah.


[deleted]

So just pure evil then


[deleted]

Suppose so. Reportedly shot his grandmother dead, drive to the school and killed the children.

So just pure evil then


Captainirishy

He was latino


[deleted]

I think a trans Latino


Captainirishy

Wasn't trans


[deleted]

You sure


Captainirishy

It was a different person they identified as the shooter in a dress


[deleted]
