[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the school poster really a reporter trying to dig for details? Sketchy. [/quote]

That was my first thought.  The other poster who wants the parents to be paraded publicly into a tell all, right now, right away, is also fishing for information.

The poster who said that the shooter's dad is on Facebook.  Has the shooter even been identified?[/quote]

DP. The shooter hasn't been officially identified but you can find his name, if you know how to Google. Seems to have come from a large white-collar Italian family[b]. Republicans, of course.[/quote][/b]

That's really uncalled for.  I'm a Republican and have raised two lovely children who will give back to society and have the judgment not to engage in anything Neo-Nazi.  When you post things like this you sound bigoted.[/quote]

NP, it's not uncalled for. Republican politicians these days, including our president, very clearly express sympathy and (at least) soft support for neo-nazis, white supremacists, and others who have disdain for minorities. It's part of the GOP base these days, and they know it - they know they need their votes.

So while YOU as an individual may be raising your family to have kindness and respect for all, you also belong to a circle of the venn diagram of people who back these vile scum. So do I, in a different way, as someone of Italian descent (their name does appear to be Italian). But I didn't choose to be Italian - people choose to be Republican, and support bigoted Republican politicians (or politicians with a hell of a lot of sympathy for such hatred)
