Well because I'm not particularly interested in discussing this particular incident but rather why these incidents occur in such nice communities where people seem to believe that these sorts of incidents don't occur in nice neighborhoods despite this being almost an annual event in "nice neighborhoods."

Because there is a tiny percentage of people who will be completely insane, environment notwithstanding. An "annual event" in a nation of 300 million is an outlier any way you look at it.

There were no school shootings when bullies got the crap beat out of them at school but ever since the bleeding hearts have gotten their way school shootings have become a way of life.

Hmmmmmm

1 dead, 4 wounded in shooting at Cleveland-area high school
although the story reads as suburban...I would not describe a town of 5k as suburban....




the real question is why some kids have so much emotional problems that they either take their own lives or someone elses

To be sure.

After all, look back to the 1940s and 1950s, when there were virtually no laws restricting guns at schools, and kids used to bring their .22s to school and leave them in their lockers until it was time to participate in the school's shooting club after school. We all know how many more of this kind of school shootings there were then, compared to now.

(Hint: there were far FEWER.)

It's amazing how many lies and fabrications like "Too many guns means too many deaths" the gun-haters come up with, trying to pretend their agenda is true!

Think about it for a few minutes before responding it's a more complex statement than at first glance.

Easy access to guns. It's the price we pay for "freedom"...and often, it's a high price.

Bullies got beat up? I thought it was the other way around, hence the label "bully"

both are wrong for doing so, and both sides are scum suckers for doing so as well.
So you found jumping in and defending the thread to be appropriate, why?
