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

Wasn't everyone bullied at one time or another? When I was little, the bigger girls picked on us, so we just avoided them whenever possible. I don't understand the reasoning behind retaliating against innocent victims sometimes years after the fact. These people are mentally ill, and if they can't get a gun, they will resort to bombs, poisons , or some other diabolical scheme!
They're angry because they don't fit in anywhere. @fanuc2013
@fanuc2013 I think you are confusing some "being picked on" with full-on bullying.

@SomeMichGuy Isn't that an opinion? To some " full-on bullying" might be an insult, and bother them intensely, while others can shake it off. It depends a lot on an individuals' mental stability.
I read an article about the Columbine shooters that stated they were in some kind of outcast group. But yeah it's speculation. @fanuc2013
@fanuc2013 I'm pointing out that there is a continuum of people messing with you, from very minor things to what *you* characterized as "being picked on" to "bullying". Your choice of words implied that it was not the same.
