Yes its very sad

Looks like the clues were there. If you see something that is clearly suspicious you need to at least let someone in authority know. There is a growing number of lunatics in the world so it's well worth it to step up and say something just in case.


Prayers to the families.

I think it's very sad that, at least to me, all of these shootings aren't shocking anymore. It's like "another day in America" and it shouldn't be that way.

I can remember Columbine and Virginia Tech and it was quite "a big deal" at the time, but now it seems that the shock value is gone. Maybe I was more impacted by those because I was a student at the time, but we've had a lot more shootings within the last decade (not just school shootings but mass shootings in general) and it seems that society is becoming more desensitized to all of this gun violence.

Maybe that's why it will eventually stop. I absolutely believe that all the attention given to these incidents encourages others to do the same so they will become famous.

The FBI dropped the ball. Was warned about him in January and didn't report it to the Miami branch.

I don't necessarily think they're done for fame, but I hope the attention curtails many of them.

Many of these school shootings take place because the shooters feel victimized by the schools in one way or another. This is an example of one that wasn't. The kid boasted about wanting to kill Jews and minorities.
