+1 Religion + guns = conservative |
Yup. It's the usual suspects. And I bet the local DA throws the book at this guy. He's the type of person UMC white conservatives like to scorn and look down upon. |
+1 Madison is peak white liberal. |
No, just their sons. |
Wisconsin has a lot of liberal and a lot of liberals who are also gun owners. And Madison is more diverse politically then you might imagine - especially the suburbs. I was born and raised in SE Wisconsin and have so many friends and family that live in Madison - it is a really like a small town. Most people there (aside from UW students) are 1 or 2 people removed from this tragedy so let's hold some space for how tragic it is. My cousin went to HS with the shooter's dad. My best friend's daughter's best friend attends that school. Everyone is grieving and shaken. |
Why is there a separate thread on this same topic in Politics ? |
Just tell say you've never stepped foot outside the beltway and go |
Most people know a kid who’s raging angry. Stop thinking it’s not your business. It is. |
Can we make it our business by asking schools to expel these kids before they explode? |
Yes, absolutely. This is a good time to review potentially violent students in all schools. This white trash father encouraged his daughter's shooting and at least tolerated, but likely also encouraged her "courageous attitude" and psychological aberrations. Social services and schools need to be more proactive in identifying such cases in advance. Here: shooting fanatic deranged teenager with Columbine t-shirt? It's an obvious case. |
This strikes me as weird- an indication of not being in touch with reality. It’s one think to have a nickname that’s similar to your first name or perhaps use a middle name, but do insist on being called an entirely different name? No. I don’t know any teens that do this with the exception of those wanting to be someone else entirely. |
Let's not make a bunch of assumptions about what he did or didn't do. But if everyone at the school saw her as a problem and there were warning signs, then they need to be held responsible too. Schools need to start kicking these kids out. This was a private school, it should have been easy. Public schools too need to be held accountable when it happens on their watch. |
Same. I have met one that changed their boring basic name to another boring name. |
Could you please post this in the duplicate thread on this same topic in the Politics forum here on DCUMAD? I agree with you. |
Thanks to all the disability laws run amok, public schools have a very hard time kicking any of these kids out. Turns out Free Appropriate Public Education isn’t for all kids. It’s just for kids with diagnoses. |
