    What good is your brother's gun gonna do him in that case? All locked up like that?
    It takes about 10 seconds at most to get into the safe (including all actions of waking up, realizing what you heard, and entering the code), if you have the code. Hear a noise at night? Boom, gun's out before you know it. Again, IF you know the code. He keeps the safe next to the bed.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Shocking...white boy shoots up a school and we need to learn "why". The why doesnt matter, his mitigating circumstances are interesting but change nothing. I am sorry he was bullied but that just doesnt change anything.

      Not to mention all this does is further disparage people with mental illness because the more this happens the more they are downgraded and spit upon because it is them that are the issue. Most people with mental illness arent violent, and those that are dont calculate and plan stuff like this unless they are sociopaths on top of their disease which this kid most definitely was not.

      Newsflash: It sucks that he was bullied but this kid is not mentally incapable of knowing what he did was wrong so stop coddling him (which is what the "screw loose" crowd is doing) stop giving him a platform and lock him up and throw away the key unless he gets diagnosed with something severe. (he wont)

        Not saying he shouldn't be punished. Looking to the future to ID people like him and prevent situations like this. What IF, just IF, someone talked to him, he got some treatment, whatever, and he decided NOT to shoot up the school because he developed a different attitude?

          And why are these always white boys? When's the last time a person of color shot up a school?


          I'm sure it's happened, but I can't recall right off.
          What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

              Admittedly rambling train of thought here: same reason most serial killers are white males, aged 30-40, or whatever the stat is? I dunno.

              Yes, 10 seconds.

                  You know you and the rest of the "tax cut" crowd don't want to pay for mental health services, right? Haven't for over 30 years now.

                  Put your money, and your vote, where your mouth is.

                    I'm fine with that.

Once they get to an age where they start discovering that they aren't special, they have people telling them no, or they face obstacles and challenges, they discover they're just a nameless, faceless 1 among millions, then they need to step up.


                        Some do, and make the choices that they need to do to succeed in the world on their own merits. Some retreat into self-medication, with drugs and alcohol. Others lash out violently.
                        Doesn't that fit in with everything Brent has been saying on this topic?

                          What about Asians? Meskins? Don't see any of them shooting up schools.

                          I'm sure they get bullied just as much as little white boy does. However, I'm only expected to have to listen to little white boy, and "his problems"

                              No, he's saying we have to listen to and coddle the little protected precious jewel whenever their feefees get ruffled. That way, they won't go out and start shooting up schools.

                                That is an extreme view of what I'm saying. Most kids just have kid problems. They don't put up Nazi propaganda, Born To Kill shirts, and have other students flat out say "he was bullied." I will take an educated guess that as this story continues, there will be other warning signs that were ignored.
