What I find most interesting about the TX school shooting coverage...

Everything and everybody is responsible for this event except the actual kid who pulled the trigger. What a f’ed up country we live in!


If you follow the news it seems that way. Most of the blame has fallen on the cops. I haven't seen many stories about the kid. There were some photos of him as a cross dresser but that part has been buried.

No, every person is responsible for their role in this event. The shooter is responsible for what he did. The people in charge of stopping him are responsible for theirs.

The only fact we know for sure is the kid pulled the trigger. Everything else is fodder.

Their are millions of biological parents in this country but very few of them are actually parenting their children.

To be sure, if you're not relying on government hand-outs, it's nearly impossible to maintain a decent standard of life without both parents being out in the work force. That's a big problem and it needs to be addressed.

When parents can't be there for the child when they need comforting, or have difficulty coping with a stressful situation or conflict, they learn you get attention by lashing out. It's not good attention but it is attention and in a world full of strangers it's the best they can hope for.

Sure there are exceptions, but for the most part a daycare raises children until they're old enough to go to school, then the government raises them after that. Schools don't really teach children as much as try to guide them on how to learn and in the absence of that ability a child will mostly become more antisocial and willing to lash out if they don't think anyone cares. Parental involvement seems like the best solution to insure they know someone cares.

If these young shooters had an attentive and caring parent they could turn to find another way to cope I doubt there would be as many of these events, so that should be the focus. Providing more time for parent/child interaction and seeking a resolution. If school started the mess, how can anyone expect them to resolve it?


P.S. I might be a little all over the place, but hopefully you'll know what I mean.
The bulk of young adults have been raised right and will move into being good productive adults.
It gets old when folks post nonsense like your post.

Valid proof the defendant was not capable of distinguishing between right and wrong.

Do you really trust "the experts" in this day and age? After they all went whole hog over covid?

These young adults who were raised right, so who do you think raised them? Could it have possibly been loving attentive parents? Nah, couldn't be. That would be posting sheer nonsense, you know, like I posted. Or it may mean you inadvertently proved my point.

However, if memory serves me correctly we weren't discussing 'well raised' children.

Haven't seen a photo of the gunman. The surgeon he blamed was black.

My older sister and I were raised by single parents, attentive parents...lol my father was deployed many times while we grew up. My son was also raised by a single parent.
I have many friends that were also raises by single parents.
All of us,,,, well except me are responsible tax paying adults.
