Sad. :nonod:
Even worse, now we have the month or more of copy cat crap that will happen and each one wanting to outdo the previous.

not insane. but raised w/o boundaries. most/many in single parent (mom) homes with little or no discipline.
and a culture that doesn't value human life.
You know, the thing about these school shootings.....I have yet to see a case where a kid was bullied unmercilessly, and then he or she went after the bullies who tormented him/her. No, every case that I can think of the shooters just went after random kids.
I could actually understand a kid snapping and taking revenge on someone who tormented the kid daily....not fully condone, but understand. What we see though, is not that....it's just kids going nuts. Sad.

It seems from what I'm hearing that the main target of this shooting was a girl who turned down the shooter for a date. If that's all it took to set this guy off he was a walking time bomb.
Whenever a girl turned me down for a date, I just figured, swell, more drugs for me.:lol:

:yesnod:
I was more analytical about it though...
In my late teens and early twenties, I always thought that rejection assisted me in culling the herd so to speak. If a particular individual wasn't agreeable to my advances, that respective individual isn't compatible with my idiosyncrasy. I infrequently engaged in Coitus.
I then adopted a different policy when I approached my mid-twenties into my thirties, which can be described as the lowering of ones standards in order to procreate the with the opposite sex.
I was much more successful. :yesnod:
(I am very fortunate to be married to a very attractive woman now :yesnod:)

Washington School Shooter Had Been Expected to 'Become a Leader'
Jaylen Fryberg Had 'Charisma, Raw Talent,' Tribal Leader Says
Oct 26, 2014, 7:09 AM ET
Jaylen Fryberg was not only a popular student and football player who'd just been named homecoming prince, he was expected to be a leader of his community.
Fryberg, 14, who shot five people - killing one - before killing himself inside his Washington state high school, was a member of a prominent family in the Tulalip Tribes and according to tribe member state Sen. John McCoy, he was highly regarded there.
"A lot of folks were considering him that he would move up the culture ranks and become a leader," McCoy said. "He had that kind of charisma and raw talent."
All of the students Fryberg shot at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday were family and very close friends of the 14-year-old, McCoy said.
Lukas Thorington attends a nearby high school but said he had known the gunman since sixth grade and was shocked when he heard.
"I didn't think he would do something like this," Thorington, 14, said. "He had a good life. He was very well-known, popular, and I don't know what happened."
Two of the victims, Nate Hatch, 14, and Andrew Fryberg, 15, are relatives of the shooter, according to Hatch's grandfather and a source within the Tulalip Tribes.
"My grandson and the shooter were best friends," said the boy's grandfather, Donald Hatch. "They grew up together and did everything together."
Andrew Fryberg underwent surgery for a head wound, said Dr. Joanne Roberts, chief medical officer at Providence Regional Medical Center. He and Hatch, who had less serious injuries, were transferred to another hospital.
Fryberg is listed in critical condition, while Hatch is in serious condition.
The other victims -- Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Gia Soriano, both 14 -- remained in critical condition, the hospital said in a statement Saturday.
Rachel Pomeroy, a junior, said she knew the shooter and last spoke with him on Thursday.
"He was fine the day before. He was being sassy, as always, and good," she said.
While Fryberg's motive wasn't immediately known, Pomeroy said he had just come off a suspension for a fight.
Fryberg is seen smiling in several pictures on his Facebook page -- hunting, participating in sports and surrounded by friends.
In many ways, he appeared to be a typical teen, liking video games and counting Adele and 50 Cent among his favorite musical artists.
His Twitter account yields some insight into what he was feeling in the days before the shooting. The messages posted to his account earlier this week were filled with angst.
On October 20, he tweeted: "Alright. You f***** got me.... That broke me."
The next day, he wrote: "It breaks me... It actually does... I know it seems like I'm sweating it off... But I'm not.. And I never will be able to.."
Later, he added: "I should have listened.... You were right... The whole time you were right..."
Another tweet read: "If I just laid down..."
On Thursday, his final tweet read: "It won't last.... It'll never last."
