    The low resolution pic on foxnews.com right now shows a suspect being led away in handcuffs. Given the perp is 15 and the pic shows him being the same size, or larger than the adult LEO handling him, a supposed motive is not too hard to derive- the bullied and taunted "big kid" strikes back at his tormentors.

    Yet our schools and administrators and teachers continue to allow bullying to happen and condone it by turning the other cheek.

    Being bullied is horrible. not everyone can stand up and defend themselves. Some just aren't physically strong enough to fight back. Others aren't mentally tough enough to deal with it.

    At what point do we start holding bullies accountable as well as their enablers? What does it take? How many more have to die?

    Irrational people being irrational.

    Prayers go out to the victims.

    ...and before people start losing their shit about bullying, has that information even been released?

    My bet is that this kid has a history of issues with a number of warning signs that went unheeded.

    Kentucky school shooting kills 2, wounds 13, teen arrested

    Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin’s voice choked with emotion and he paused to collect himself at a news conference earlier on Tuesday where he spoke of the shooting.

    “There’s no good answer for it,” Bevin said.

    My feeling exactly. Bullying or not, there's no justification for this.

    This one didnt hold the media's attention at all. They really are caught up with this DACA crap.

    Uh, care to back this up with actual fact and information?

    Because I don't believe for a second that school admin/teachers "condone" bullying...

    I was bullied in elementary and middle school and a portion of high school.

    My 6th grade teacher sat there watching it happen and laughing at me and did NOTHING to stop it or intervene. If you dont stop it or intervene, to me that's condoning it and allowing it to continue.

    Fast forward nearly 20 years, the same school district I went to in Missouri is still having the same problems with students being bullied and lack of dealing with it. My friend's daughter goes to a school in the same district and she was being bullied horribly and she went to the teacher, principal and campus resource officer and nothing was done. They've been fighting with the board the past year and a half to get a resolution.

    I'm a mentally tough girl and I got through it, but I remember the feeling of being emotionally wrecked that I'd just cry when I got home and I dreaded going to school the next day.

    This happens all over the country, every single day to kids.

    there's never a "justification" for something like this, but there are "explanations" as to why this happened, what caused it, what led to this to happen.
