Same

And a lot of them are from relatively affluent backgrounds, even.

Which doesn't really surprise me either

It somewhat surprises me.

Cristofle

Why young white males from affluent suburbs are becoming so violently angry...it's baffling in some ways. Like, Adam Lanza was from a very wealthy family. He had every financial need taken care of, and would have for the rest of his life. Dylan Klebold wasn't THAT wealthy, but he came from a nice home and a nice family.

Not surprised some of them end up entitled though

Cristofle

I think some of these young men expect to get everything they want handed to them, which may not necessarily be the case with young men who are born into poverty.

stlavin95

No doubt about that

Cristofle

Like, a key breaking point for Lanza was his father very reasonably pointing out to him that he could not have a career in the military. He wanted it and he didn’t care about reality.

Sure didn't

Cristofle

And that was not some sort of terrible sentence - he could have done any number of any other things. He decided to become a mass murderer of small children.

stlavin95

He chose the worst possible thing really

Cristofle

And for what? That always gets me with mass shooters. Scores of children are dead because you bitches had fragile egos??? Thought you were somehow owed more from the world?

stlavin95

Exactly, how pathetic is that

Cristofle

I was watching a video of one of the Parkland victims, Jaime Guttenberg, and it was sad. And I was angry. She was such a cute little thing. Beloved by her family. What is she gone for? Because NC is a psychopath who got mad at the world? It's disgusting.
