There were indeed signs. The school intervened and called the parents because he was having these homicidal ideations. The useless deadbeat parents' genius idea? Get him a gun to vent his anger. They proceed to go back to basically ignoring him and going to bars while leaving him home alone all day routinely. All the while the bullying he was subject to at school continued.
I say just toss em in a room with the parents of the other kids and let nature take its course.
Vengeance is not justice.
What is justice though? I sure don't see a lot of it, especially in America.
Thanks for demonstrating a level of maturity and foresight that seems to otherwise be lacking here.
Movie cliches are not reality
Get off my plane!
It is in America, which is why we still have the death penalty. I just proposed a different mode of execution.
Not everywhere. Some of us still have our senses.
Still more then half the country which shows that, yep. America is a country where will kill as vengeance for crimes if they are bad enough.
And you agree with this?
Forget matters of innocent lives being put to death routinely; forget the fact that it does nothing in the way of deterrence or resolving the root problem.
yes and no. I fully believe some people should just be killed for what they have done. But...I don't trust our government to get it right.
Like these parents? That knew their kid had serious mental issues and handed him a gun anyways which lead to him killing innocent kids? yeah. Fucking kill em. They are beyond saving and we will be better off without them.
Can't say I agree but I appreciate the honest response.
Fuck yes.
Not to let them hurt each other but to scream and berate the shooters parents for being so mind numbingly stupid… yes that would be cathartic.
