Will probably found out a broken home or deadbeat parents. The destruction of the family is at the root of all this.

Mass shooting are mass shootings
By that I mean school shooting should be their own category. There's the whole "soft target" thing is one reason.
But the main reason is it is almost always a school age or just out of school perpetrator. Age is the biggest contributing factor.
A) the homicide offender rate for 20-24 yrs is more than double that of 40-44 yrs. It is almost twice as much for 17-19 yrs than the same 40-44 (with 2 less years).
B) Mass shootings rates are crazy high, more than just regular homicides in (a), for younger.
C) In schools it becomes infinitely higher.
In short, you don't see 40 yr. olds killing kids in schools. The answer to the problem lies there. Until we start treating school shootings differently than a party drive by "mass shooting", statistically, we're chasing ghosts.
Kids are killing kids in schools. You get much more variety age wise outside schools... but in a school, it is kid on kid.
If it wasn't a "special", for lack of a better term, case you'd see the same or similar age distribution on the street as you do in the school. but that is not the case.
and it isn't a generational thing. When it was 16 yr. old millennials killing 15 yr. old millennials we thought that. Then it was Gen Z; now it it is Gen Alpha.
It is an age problem, and it is getting worse over time across all other factors. Something is causing kids to want to kill each other, specifically in, literally IN, the school. Not ambushing them off campus. Not seeking them out on the weekend. Not ganging up on them in the parking lot. Not around a bonfire on the weekend.

Sure. What's your point?
The common usage of the term mass shooting describes events like what happened today, not when some innocent black kids get killed in the hood.
Only common because it is used as propaganda by the media and their political party to push an agenda
When the truth is revealed & it goes against their narrative the story is disappeared
Several of the more recent ones were done by trans type psychos and once that is revealed the headlines have already done their job

Stupid guns
If only we had laws to prevent these types of things from happening.
Oh wait...

Probably bullying.
Or maybe kids are just drugged up (by doctor or parents) pansies nowadays

There’s pics of the kid, maybe, on twitter. I’m not gonna post bc I’m not sure if it’s legit or not yet. But it looks like he was trying to be trans or liked 80s womens hairstyles at the least.
ETA: there’s another pic of a kid who looks like an all American boy.

I bet you more innocent kids have been killed in gangland gunfights than "mass shootings". We hear the stories about them pretty often.

Every single one of these shootings every single one
when you look at the signs the obvious signs from the shooter the behavioral issues that are never addressed
because we have created this situation in our schools where a kid can never be kicked out of school for misbehavior.
ETA: I'll put it in harsher terms, more realistic if you ask me- not all kids are worth saving.

If there's one thing for certain... it's that criminals obey the law.
You need daddy to regulate you harder, fgt?

Why is it easier to get a gun inside a school and not inside a football stadium?
Several of my friends carry to LSU games. But they are stable enough, as far as I can tell.

I'm Conservative and still think that gun laws should be wayyy stricter and guns way less prevalent. I agree with Conservatives on most, but not guns with what the data shows.
Why do you lie?
Next you will tell us "I am not racist because I have a black friend but...."

You got played then, because you obviously didn't learn a damned thing and you are just proof of how far such universities have fallen in terms of academic rigor.

I would say it as not all kids are saveable. Again a parenting and crumbling of society issue.
Thank democrats

Oh yeah, orders of magnitude more. That's why I said mass shootings like this one aren't really a problem.
