It's disgusting when kids or young adults have a grudge or a problem at a school and they resort to settling things with violence..

Let's see what excuse(s) the two suspects have for doing this, besides reminding the nation of what happened at Columbine High School 20 years ago.

What the heck is so wrong with a student who thinks he can or should shoot others? Seriously we have always had firearms around, but something is obviously different now. Have personality orders become acceptable in society? I don't get it. Where are their freaking parents?

Working. I don't get it either. Are school shootings so commonplace they just think it's the way to get revenge? Or are children more mentally ill than they used to be? If so, why is that? What changed?

What has changed in our society? Bullying has always happened, but didn't result in gun fire. So what has changed?

Speaking for myself. In our house family meant everything to us. From our grand parents down to the youngest sibling. None of us would ever intentionally bring harm or shame to our family.

Times have changed. As parents seek to be the BFF they give up their positions as authority figures. Communities are no longer the close knit, everyone knows you and your family community. It's so much easier to do hateful things to people you barely know. It's easier to disregard the consequences to your family when in fact you barely view them as family at all. When you place such little value on your own life, it's easy to completely devalue someone else.

Look I am no expert, not a shrink and I am no cop. That said a blind man can see that society today seems to care a lot when tragedy strikes, but otherwise is indifferent.
Name calling by our leadership, no not just Trump, sends a clear message. Civil discourse is no longer our norm. What message is our leadership sending? Black and white, with us or you are against us. The more you are with us the more you are one of us.

Well Columbine is what happened, people who were bullied (I'm not even sure if they were bullied specifically), now have something they can do about their problem, and take their anger out on everyone, whether the actual bullies themselves or those that ignored them/ ostracized them.

As a Libertarian - I support our 2nd Amendment. But, the old arguments I made (although, still valid) are having to be modified. My arguments were/are still, an armed populace keeps government honest and if you are not armed - then the criminals will have free reign (police only show up to zip up body bags). But, now we have to have an armed population because we have people, who purchased their guns legally and have no criminal records - that can go bats*** crazy at any moment and without any warning! We, the law abiding citizen; now have to worry about the other law abiding citizens because, at any moment, they can stop being law-abiding citizens and kill you. What has happened to us?

We need school-shooting control.

And the thudding sound you just heard was the MSM dropping this story like a rock. One of the shooters was a transgender student and THAT, my friends, is going to leave many people scratching their red baboons asses wondering just how and if they can do anything with this story. Now we focus on how transgenders face bullying which leads to tragedy and the victims get forgotten. Maybe the shooters become heroes of the left. Insaner things have happened.
666 was graffiti and also F%$* society was spray painted on the car. Can't be good for Lucifarians but society always makes a good punching bag. We'll take the blame for this one.

You'd think a parent would notice 666 and F society spray painted on their kids car.
