No one gives a ***, go somewhere else.
I don't know what you were expecting when you first post a topic that can easily be related to gun control.
Personally, I wonder what was the perspective of the stabber. We never really hear their perspective. What happened psychologically that made this happen? Was it some sort of learned helplessness that resulted in an outraged killing frenzy? I refuse to believe every single one of these school shooting type events are due to people being psychotic, but have an underlying cause that can be realized and prevented.
You better watch out! Unfortunately, even when asking that question here, you will be railed. (Example: Sandy Hook thread.) Exploratory thought and understanding is not welcome here, you heartless so-and-so!
Well to be fair in most of these cases the perp dies before we can get anything out of them or they're minors so we'll probably never get definitive answers regarding why they felt it necessary to stab fellow students. Was it for fame? A desperate act of revenge? A wild fantasy given life? Did vidya games make him do it? Perhaps a broken household? Bullying? Jilted lover?
High school is a pretty stressful time for people in general.
So many people are sitting on emotional powder kegs on a daily basis that these types of outbursts of violence are unfortunately the result of how we raise men in America. This goes far beyond the stupid surface level arguments regarding guns to how boys become men and what they see as acceptable and celebrated in society.
When rage and violence are the primary emotions we want to see in males and seeking medical attention is seen as weakness both parents and the individual allow the keg to fill further until the inevitable spark sets everything off.
Ever notice how rarely females engage in this type of violent rampage?
