[quote=Anonymous]I totally agree. I just posted this on another thread where people were trying to link autism to the mass violence of Newtown and Columbine:

This is actually not true. The whole myth of the Columbine killers being socially isolated, ostracized and bullied is BS. Look into it.

The Columbine killers had friends, friends who bought them guns for the whole previous year in fact. They were themselves bullies, hanging out at the local shopping center, picking on kids. One kid they bullied for being black, then they shot him. One boy they threatened to the point the mom called the police. They were not POPULAR or jocks and resented that.

They had been acting out for a YEAR before Columbine, there was even a search warrant to look for weapons that was never executed. They had extensive journals and had planned the shooting for a year, getting jobs and saving money to buy weapons and bomb materials. They planned to kill thousands but their homemade bombs did not go off.

I'm not sure what an "autistic-type kid" -- nor am I sure you do, so let's not diagnose someone we HAVE no clue about.

Stop trying to connect these horrendous crimes with autism. You obviously have no idea what your are talking about.[/quote]
