I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Why are these school shooters not scared of going to prison? Some people say these kids are just copying other school shooters and want attention but are they not scared of going to prison like the rest of them did.

Pretending that things will get better by accepting or tolerating unusual behavior was a mistake.

They say this last one was bullied as if they don't know what the full story is.

I think that people aren't being told everything that led up to this. We should be getting told.

And each time there are lots of kids that know exactly what went on.

News gives the name but never the details. Those in the know are always afraid(??) to elaborate. *shrug*

@SteelHands kids have been bullied throughout time and most never committed suicide or shot up a school like they are now.

@Cloud7593 No.

Not the WHY the bullying is happening.

Bully someone for being honest. See what happens.

I have a theory that's quite unpopular.
Maybe the most unpopular you've heard.
I think we live in such a self-centered culture that some people forget that their life isn't a TV show.
Maybe they feel like they've been turned into a bit character in someone else's happy story.
Maybe they've waited so long for the plot twist that makes them a hero
Maybe it's years and years of every conflict being resolved in less than two hours.... until you see the real world.
Maybe they are jaded waiting on a happy ending that don't come.
Maybe they realize they can control one part of the story?
If you can't be the hero....you can always be the bad guy

@Notanymore Yes we certainly live in a very self-centered culture, that's for dang sure.

I think we've raised a demon that we can't put down

I believe that the ones who get the bad breaks, even if it's first world problems, think they've been cheated....and still everything in culture has a happy ending nowdays. Except for their lives.... it's a little to handle. Especially for adolescent minds

Their motive for killing must override any fear they have. Or perhaps they just act first and think later.
Cloud7593 · 46-50, F
@fazer1k I'm sure that's part of it. Teenagers don't have good judgment but still no teenager in the past would have dreamed of shooting up a school.

@Cloud7593 The first child shooter to kill (a teacher) in an American school happened in 1853. The first child to shoot another child in school happened in 1867.

@fazer1k In one of the Little House on the Prairie books some teen boys had killed a teacher. No, school violence is nothing new but it wasn't all the time like it is now.

They are nothing but stood in the corner, suspended, talked to, what ever someone can think of that won't offend them.
When we stop training humans to be human, we won't be.

I'll say again.

Use Occam's razor and by the process of elimination you'll figure out what the problem is.

Are they "historically disadvanteged" seeking redress for the injustices done against them?

Are they the member of an oppressed and unfairly vilified social class lashing out for the right to be accepted

Are they victims of a socially designed construct that holds them back from pursuing a happy life

Who would do such a thing with their entire life of equality and opportunity ahead of them?

Who?

They are obviously not right in the head.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@Noble maybe he was being bullied for not being a cock taker.

You don't know. Nobody does and they'll never tell us.
Great question

Whay are they killing other kids?

Paid huge sums by the NRA to justify a law set in 1791, think it needs a revisit maybe?
