ETA: Humans are imperfect, that is true. The primary difference is that we possess the "intelligence" to recognize that our innate, tribal/pack/"self-preserving" behaviors can produce abhorrent results.

I saw on the news this morning that the 15 year old will be prosecuted as an adult. Still no info on a motive.
Some interesting comments on bullying, I appreciate the continued conversation.
So far, I have not seen anyone going after the gun.

Look past the web sites you browse now.

I won't bore everyone with my tales of being bullied. Suffice it to say, as the short, scrawny, Jewish kid in elementary school, I got my share. The big difference is that 40 years ago, if I was bullied, and took a poke at the bully in self defense, I didn't get suspended or expelled or arrested. Too many times these days, school officials turn a blind eye to the bullying, or overreact to ANY dispute between students. Kids are gonna have disagreements. Learning how to settle them is how well adjusted adults are formed. So is learning that it hurts when the target of your bullying hits back.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Well, he's still alive. When a person shoots someone, then dies, it's like he bailed on his accomplice, the gun.

I feel triggered by that comment.

I hope I didn't bore anyone with my stories of being bullied. But the real question is... do you think that ford cab is still laying around somewhere? I bet that would make a fine hot rod for Sundays in the summer.

#metoo. I think I need a coloring book. Remember back in the 90's when "#" symbol meant pound? Puts a whole new light on the #metoo stunt.

Yeah, I would tell people to #sand on forums before the whole 'hashtag' thing made it so confusing.
