He was bullied? Society punched him, so he punched society back ten times harder, right?

We need to address the very normal culture of bloodlust we have in our country (Guns, everything needing to be a 'war', militarized society, giving "rough rides" to detained people, death penalty, and on and on.)

Yes, guns are a problem, but young men killing young men daily in our large cities usually over some perceived "disrespect" is more than about guns.

Why do they think violence, especially murder, is the answer to this? It boggles my mind.

is that they seem to think they'll get away with it.

If what they really want is suicide by cop, that can be arranged fairly easily.

He murdered almost twenty innocent people - mostly kids - in cold blood with assault rifles. That's not punching back. that's just being a fucking coward piece of shit asshole who didn't have the balls to confront whoever or whatever he thought "wronged" him so he took it out on defenseless kids.
