Breaking: Shooting at Marysville, Washington High School

[NyleRN]

Dems won't touch this with a 10ft pole. They're on America's most dislike list right now. They aren't going to stir anything up and screw over potential Senate wins. They'll try to attack it after November 4

Stand by for another criminals name to be spoken in every household in the country thereby providing the motivation for others losers to follow suit. We won't hear the name of a victim.

TRUTH! Hate to hear about another one of these shootings, but am right there with you...lots of "copy cat" behavior.

Providence medical center: 3 patients with head wounds in critical condition; 4th patient moved to harborview hospital in Seattle

He definitely went for the kill.

CNN just had a kid on air that was in the cafeteria and he said the shooter used a small handgun.

A boy on FNC said it appeared to be a 9 mm. How he knows, no idea. At least it shouldn't stir up the EBR debate.

I was told on this one forum online that the 9mm was too wimpy to kill.













Now what was that forums' name......BINGO.....nooo......DINGO....nooo.....

Seattle school tragedy

Just got off a conference call with some Seattle folks - had one member leave to pick up his son from the affected school. Shooter at a high school in Seattle suburb. Sounds like only 1 dead other than the shooter - hopefully everyone else is ok or at least pulls through ok.

Raise your hand if you have never been the victim of "bullying" as defined in 2014 (you know, someone not unconditionally praising you for simply existing).

No one?

Well, when I was a kid, you went home with cuts and bruises if you were bullied. If you were lucky, so did the bully. People didn't just call you unpleasant names on the internet.

I could be totally wrong, but I think one of the common factors is that so many kids in the last 20 years have never been held accountable for anything, whether it's performing at a competency level in school, doing chores, showing respect for others, etc. There are very few consequences for bad behavior and most place no value on the rewards inherent to good behavior. With no consequences for any of their actions at any point in their short lives, why would they be swayed from ending human lives? When they have some kind of feeling that makes them uncomfortable and they are conditioned to do whatever they feel like doing to numb or attain some instant pleasure. Someone bothers them, why wouldn't they just kill them? Instant results with no fear of repercussions and typically no facility for the concepts of inherent right and wrong are at work. They may not fit the clinical diagnosis of sociopath, but they certainly seem to gravitate toward similar end results.

Wonder why this usually happens in liberal locations?

Yeah, there where bullies when I was in school years ago, they usually wound up getting their asses kicked by an older student, or being told to **** off and never bother the target student again by an older student, nowadays, that "older" student would be suspended or expelled for "threats". I think the vast majority of this kind of garbage we hear about today is a product of the environment they were "schooled" in.

Teens have always felt like the world is against them.

It seems a few more today than in the past believe that they are so important and other's lives are so unimportant that killing is an acceptable response to pain.

Culture of killing for convenience, no eternal significance to life, pushing "love yourself" as the greatest value......never could have seen this "trend" coming.

This "Trend" started a long time ago and is just now becoming manifest. Self esteem, every body gets a trophy just for showing up, I am the center of the universe. This has been "Trending" for a while now.

You're probably right. We're looking at multiple generations of people who care about nothing.

Everyone's a special snowflake.


Anyway - Hold onto your butts. The shooter's tweets are about to be everywhere.

NSFW language.

America has a problem with school shootings. It's always schools. How do you stop young people from thinking that walking into a school and shooting their peers is "what disaffected people do"?

Maybe stop putting camera shots on television. It's a copycat problem.

And yet, you posted a big picture of the crime scene.

Besides, I'm not sure how to expect the media to report on something newsworthy without reporting the who/what/where.

"And tonight at 11, a victim was victimized at a local place by someone."

It's pretty easy. If the parents agree to releasing the victim(s) names then it could go something like this:

"A worthless scumbag shot and injured/killed (insert victims names) at Washington High School today. Local police responded and the cowardly suspect killed himself in typical fashion. This news agency will not reward this waste of flesh by announcing his name out of respect to the victims. We will also refrain from boring you to tears discussing what/who we could possibly blame for his actions. Instead, (please sit down for this next part) we have decided to lay blame square on the shoulders of the guilty party."

Good thing I'm not a media outlet.

I'd since posted better links. The scene was paired with a tweet. I'll remove the scene for your sensitive eyes.

Were you wired this way, or did something happen to you?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Sounding like he killed a girl that turned him down. The "YesAllWomen" hashtag is back out in full force, and sexism is being thrown around as the blame.

It was all those dates with your mom.
