It is so sad that so many school children are being under attack. But then most schools are gun free same as Church's. But it is not the gun it is a people problem. We have these sick idiots who want to do harm and will find a way to do it. It just happens the guns are the easiest way. There are so many gun control laws on the books now that are not being enforced. And yet congress wants more gun control. No what they want is for all of us to give up or guns so they can control us. Our schools are set up that no one can get in without an id on them. Even that won't stop some of the idiots. I think some teachers should be trained and be able to carry a gun. If people are aware that it is not a gun free place they would not be so intent to commit harm there.
I figure it is only a matter of time before they find out this kid was on Psychotropic drugs - most of the school shooters are. If you see his pictures, he recently gained a ton of weight - and I saw people interviewed that he was bullied. Red Flags for risk,,, He also wore that trenchcoat to school daily, with those symbolisms... one such pin worn was the same as the columbine school shooter wore on his shoe. & he walked into school today with a "born to kill" shirt.... hello?! There should be zero tolerance. Our society has just gotten so sick & toxic...
But with all the cry baby snowflakes they are not allowed to enforce a dress code. When they do then mommy is all over facebook and the internet posting pictures of their innocent little baby and how they are being bullied (dang that word is over used) and the school is doing them wrong. Maybe all the schools need to go to a dress code. You wear blue or black dress slacks - color determined by the school - and a white button up shirt that fits your body. Everyone will wear the loafers like they did in days of old. No boots of any kind. No big jackets or coats and no hats.
As for if he was on pills - hard to say. I didn't know all the others were on pills. First I heard of that but it very well may be true. I don't do like everybody else and sit and watch this all the time. I don't want to know the killers name and I don't want to see his face.
When you carry out a mass killing like this there needs to be serious punishment no matter how mental you are. If you are smart enough to load the weapons (he had explosives too not just the shotgun) get them in to the school and pull the trigger. OH and don't forget he knew to pull the fire alarm so everyone would come out in to the hall. Then you are sane enough to stand trial. And if not they need to be locked away in a mental institution for the rest of their life. If there was real punishment for crimes there would be a lot less crimes.
And as for the trench coat - he wore it every day so people wouldn't think any thing of it. Kind of like the crazy girl that wore a sweatshirt hoodie every day in the local dollar store. She wore it everyday 100 or whatever. She was also stuffing crap up under that big sweatshirt all day every day. Yeah she went in there about 5 times a day. But since she always had the sweatshirt on nobody thought anything about it.
