More Mass Killings (Almost)

Post by MachineGhost »

[quote=http://www.businessinsider.com/r-four-c ... ng-2015-10]Four northern California students have been arrested for plotting to carry out a shooting at a high school, authorities said.

Authorities took four unidentified students into custody after they uncovered their plan to shoot and kill faculty members and students at Summerville High School, the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office said on Saturday.

"The suspects plan was very detailed in nature and included names of would be victims, locations and the methods in which the plan was to be carried out," the sheriff's department said in a Facebook post.[/quote]

Nothing unexpected at all.  Predicted.  What do you expect?

Study the word.  Understand it.  Best worldview going!  Internalize it - just like the best supplements available.    Place your need for security, identity, and meaning on someone truthful and reliable.  ;)

I guess it's never been under control. One day it was a guy with a brain tumor in a clock tower. Ever since Columbine (which wasn't the first), it has just become a meme. Very hard to prevent.

There's a darkly clever shower thought on reddit that because this is the age of spoiled kids and instant gratification, mass shooters  are what they are because they're too lazy to be serial killers.

I don't agree with that but the idea of simply offing oneself and leaving the rest of the world alone seems to have given way to something worse.
