I’ve always wondered how this wasn’t always the case. You’re pissed off at ______ to the extent that you’re willing to commit murder and sacrifice your freedom over it, so you go and shoot up… a bunch of elementary school students? Dafuq? Why? Target the source of your problem, not some random kids…
I’ve thought about this and the only thing I can come up with is that school shooters are so pathetic that they only go after kids who can’t fight back.
Nah it’s more likely just that younger kids have, even those in highschool have a smaller world. They don’t have medical issues often and they only think about their peers.

It’s because in the American zeitgeist, doing horrendous acts made you famous a la 70s murderer style.
Fame from killing evil has never been popular in the US (until now).
Look at the punisher character, if the US did romanticize killing evil, the character wouldn’t be used a lot by cops and authoritarian types.
Has it occurred to you that a lot of school shooters are mobbing victims and the “random kids” are quite literally the source of their problem?

Um. Uh, yeah! Totally, yeah - that was like the first thing I thought of!

Yep, teenagers are fucking idiots. I’m sure in 20 years, if I’m still around, I’ll say people in their 40s are idiots.
They’ll rightfully say we’re the idiots because of the weather in 20 years.
