    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.

        Principals avoid taking actions that will put their campus in a negative light. They will call the police only when the situation cannot be hidden from the public such as a gun, assault with a weapon, or criminal trespassing. Teachers can only enforce the policies that the admin are willing to enforce. They’re also discouraged from pressing charges under that of losing their job.

        American schools are prisons first, education centers second.

      Killer was trans as well. Watch how fast this leaves the news cycle.

        Oh fuck. Once Trans people start shooting back, America is completely fucked.

        They’ll be pushing for gun control faster than when the blacks started championing for gun rights.

        I’ll let you determine if this comment is sarcasm or not.

          i highly doubt it. most trans people can’t handle being called “sir” when their adam’s apple is prominent, let alone firing a weapon.
