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.

Their motive for killing must override any fear they have. Or perhaps they just act first and think later.

@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.
