Big shocker, it according to what just came out on the news instead of two teenage male actors it appears it was an 18yo male and a younger female juvenile.
While not unheard of, there have been female school shooters in the past, this may well be a first where a “couple” attempted a mass shooting at a US school in recent history.
There have been “couples who kill” in the past, this may be an anomaly in the world of school mass shooters.
Details are still sketchy but one of the shooters is due in court today and the second will certainly appear soon as well. Once charges are filed the Juvenile’s name will become public.
Sad to see this turn of events but with the “struggle for equality” I guess it was inevitable. Yippee for modern feminism I guess.
Modern communications is largely to blame as well.
A lone nut in his mother’s basement or two isn’t really much of a danger. When they have whole communities online of people sharing similar sick fantasies of going out in a blaze of glory and/or feeding their hate the decline into madness and murder is accelerated by many fold.
Media glorifying the killers is a big part of the whole equation as well.
Devon Erickson, a registered Democrat, expressed hatred for some Christians, and shared posts criticizing Donald Trump and praising Barack Obama,
“You know what I hate? All these Christians who hate gays, yet in the bible, it says in Deuteronomy 17:12-13, if someone doesn’t do what their priest tells them to do, they are supposed to die. It has plenty of crazy stuff like that,” he wrote in one Facebook post a couple years ago. “But all they get out of it is ‘ewwwwww gays.’” In 2015, Erickson put a celebrate pride filter onto a Facebook picture.
This is the suspect’s profile picture on Instagram:
One has to ask, where were mommy and daddy. Why didn’t they see the signs?
Where did they get all the hate?
Seeing some of the interviews there are some of the parents of kids at Highland who also went to Columnbine and they are only about 9 miles apart.
A big thumbs up to LEO’s who arrived within 2 minutes of the first call and immediately entered the building to seek out the shooters and very quickly brought it to an end.
Usually but not always. Some kids simply rebel no matter how good their family situation.
I’ve seen good kids come from terrible family situations and bad kids from the best of families.
These days kids are raised more by social media, music/movies/TV, and their friends.
Even in the best of families the average parent spends no more than one to two hours of “quality time” with their kids per day on average due to both parents working, school, extra curricular activities etc.
Yeah, my kids were wanting to see the previous Avengers movie, which was shown incessantly with the recent new release.
After reminding them that we don’t often watch that crap… I sat them down and explained how there were zero Christian characters, sympathetic or not, and that after ostracizing the True God, they had to bring in aliens and false Gods just to make the plot-lines interesting.
I find it amazing that few notice this.
But we know they don’t really blame guns, they just want more control to do more evil.
