For the curious, I looked it up. The reason he had access to a 6th grader to shoot in a High School is that it and the Middle School are really one big building in this case - so while it was a High School, it was also a Middle School.
This article lists a possible motive - years of bullying with the school admin refusing to do anything about it. I never did understand why none of my public schools ever did anything about my bullies. As an adult, if any of them tried it I’d call the police and use pepper spray - both banned actions in my schools.
Calling the police is a banned action??
Schools typically wait until there’s already a School Shooter before letting more in!
Just the unfortunate cost of securing people’s right to commit mass murder
Humans are temperamental and angry by nature. So, combine that with guns (or almost any other inanimate object) and you have a recipe for total disaster. People use cars while high and kill people, they use bats and knives and other things as weapons. So - let’s give them a weapon designed specifically to kill (like guns) and surprise surprise, they go around killing people. Welcome to human nature 101.
Human nature isn’t natural, per se. Our nature is shaped by our society and culture and other humans’ natures. People in America are temperamental and angry because they have been made to be that way.
Yes! I LOVE our Well Regulated Militia murdering kids!
