So The Uvalde shooter, Salvador Ramos, was bullied in school.

This is sad. Another senseless tragedy because people were mean to someone for no reason. The article says he was bullied because he was poor.

Maybe his act was a cry for help that can show us that starting in elementary school, people need to watch out for others getting bullied.

eta- i am not justifying his actions or making excuses for him. i am merely trying to make sense of a senseless act

Sorry but i have to call bullshit on your comment. There is no excuse for what he did. Lots are bullied...but they don't blow the faces off of children. Standing up for what he did...trying to justify it is ridiculous and completely uncaring for those kids and their families.

@Penny This one: "Another senseless tragedy because people were mean to someone for no reason."
I realize that's not your intent, but many people have understandably interpreted that sentence as implying a cause/effect relationship between the bullying and the violent tragedy.
