[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does a sweet kid go from this, an apparent small town boy scout, to a killer in 4 years? I would bet bullying and cyber-bullying beginning in high school.

[quote]In 2017, Crumbley, from Oxford, spoke to a local newspaper about a school project he was working on with four of his classmates. The group worked with a nonprofit in town called Blessings in a Backpack, which fills backpacks with food and distributes them to “at risk” kids.[/quote][/quote]

This is not an excuse for killing. Apparently, the parents were at the school in the morning, so they knew.[/quote]

Of course there's no excuse. But nobody will even discuss the bullying factor. Bullying is probably too soft of a word; tormenting and abusing the kid all day every day is probably more accurate.

And they claim it is a tight-knit community. :roll: Hogwash. It's one of the largest high schools in Michigan with a very distinct and stark haves vs have nots hierarchy.[/quote]

Extreme bullying victim here. What you claim is, in your own words, hogwash.

In high school is was called all manner of vulgar names, ostracized, hit, shoved, and told to commit suicide by a group of teenagers in a “tight knit” community in Colorado. To say my experience was traumatizing is an understatement.

And yet, never once did it occur to me to pick up a gun and murder my tormentors. This is in NO SMALL PART because my parents didn’t keep guns laying around the house. Guns were never part of my family’s world view, so the opportunity simply wasn’t there.

There are millions of kids that are the victims of bullying. It’s sad and horrifying. There are millions of kids with mental health conditions. I meet both those criteria.  And I am here to tell you that I profess non-violence, peer collaboration, and healing at every turn. So truly, PP, you are completely misguided.[b] Bullying doesn’t make children murderers. Having open access to guns and parents who teach that guns are a fine way to solve your problems absolutely does. [/b][/quote]

The same parents who bully the schools with cries of "bullying!!!" are trying to scare schools into doing what those parents want, terrorizing the schools into thinking they will be the next to be shot up.

Disgusting.
