Why are these people being so ignored? This could’ve been prevented had the shooter got some help.

The same could be said about any mass shooter. We don't provide enough mental health (or substance abuse) treatment for many people who need it in this country. It is a huge problem.

And we don't care that people with raging mental health issues can easily get access to as many guns and as much ammunition as it takes to shoot up a school full of children.

Testosterone therapy likely played a part here

Complete speculation. I’m a female on very high levels of testosterone and I’ve never even raised my voice since taking T, let alone murdered children.

Testosterone is known to cause aggression and rage. Combine that with mental illness and a vendetta against a group and you have a potentially toxic combination. If this school was targeted by the shooter because it was a Christian school then it should be considered a hate crime.

DING DING DING. Correct.

It has the appearance of a revenge killing by a member of that community.

Revenge is something you take out on an individual who wronged you. This 28 year old was planning to kill little as many innocent little kids as possible.

Np. I think you can seek revenge on an institution. If the entire power structure of an institution supported (or did not stop) ongoing abuse to an individual, then the individual can seek to cause as much harm as possible against the institution and people who supported it.

You can also seek revenge on someone by hurting what they love the most.

You're really making some assumptions there. Or can you supply a link that supports this narrative?

Serious question, does anyone with school aged children think of moving countries to avoid the possibility of their child getting shot every time they go to school? Or do you take other measures such as sending your child to a school with heavy security where this is less likely to happen? I honestly don’t know what I would do if I lived in the USA.

Yes, all the time. Can't wait to leave.

I know two people who have recently gotten citizenship in two European countries, but they have "ins" (parents who had citizenship there). Many would like to move, but it's not as easy as it sounds. It costs a lot of money and most people do not have it. Many of our top lawmakers here are millionaires and send their kids to private schools (expensive ones). They just don't care about the rest of us.

It depends on what they find about the motive.

He wrote a manifesto. So it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out what his motivations were. Will they be shared with the public? Who knows.

^ And it's really sad to see people giving up on this country. My father who fought in WW2 is turning over in his grave.

Who is "you?"

Mass murdering people is morally wrong and a felony period. I don't care WTH anyone's rationalization is. There's never one.

I don’t have kids (yet), but developed countries are very difficult to move to legally. I hope to emigrate someday.

I’m sorry for the families and the children. I hope the GOP Christians do something about this besides wear AR 15 pins.

Yeah, if anyone knows someone posting murder art online, say something to someone. It's not normal. If you see something, say something.

Oh f**k off. DP here, but this is a common motive, even if we don't know whether it was Hale's motive specifically. I'm the PP that this mini-thread is replying to...the one who said this country scapegoats + neglects abuse victims and mentally ill, at-risk individuals who end up committing harmful acts. I can say from experience that in the depths of depression and PTSD, you do want institutional revenge. The only way to prevent them from acting on it is to invest in compassion and mental health support (clearly beyond someone like you) or to neglect them and hope they're strong enough to self-heal (that's me, luckily for you).

The only one making "assumptions" here is you. People like you will simply continue perpetuating the abusive systems that created Hale's violence today, and you'll continue with your smarmy attitude until one day the violence simply arrives at your door,

Can’t help but wonder if his mom’s gun control advocacy in some way contributed to his decision to commit suicide by mass shooting.

All I got from this article is confirmation of what I already knew: people need to figure out how to implement privacy controls on Facebook and on other social media.
