Here is what we know about Pagourtzis:

He was wearing “trenchcoat and big boots,” according to a student who said he saw the shooter. Police have not confirmed what he was wearing.
He is 17 years old.
He is in the 11th grade at Santa Fe High School.
He threw pipe bombs into some classrooms, witnesses say. Devices were found in and around the school, officials said.
The weapon Pagourtzis used was described as a shotgun by witnesses, but police have not confirmed that.
Law enforcement says a pressure cooker with an explosive device was found at the scene.
A Facebook page under the same name as Pagourtzis, has been taken down.
A witness said students and coaches at the school would bully Pagourtzis and “call him names.”
This story will be updated as more

SHOCKING!

Agree safe spaces are desperately needed Wacks. Like I’ve always said, it’s the kids’ fault that they’re not making sure every other student is well adjusted. They need to step up and take some responsibility.

I don't think safe spaces are needed or even helpful.

Yeah, what?

Sorry I took your comment to mean that the best way to prevent school shootings is to stop kids from being mean.

I'm making fun of the shooter for being a lil bitch and turning to violence because today's kids don't know how to handle bullying and getting shot down by a girl. I believe it used to be way worse in High Schools before Columbine and I have no idea why these little snowflakes are turning to gun violence.

I don't think kids thought of gun violence as a potential solution before Columbine presented itself as one.

I remember running around Eudora my Freshman year hiding from Seniors so I wouldn't get choked out as one of their hazing rituals. I was also a tubby little crap that girls weren't interested in until my Junior year. I know mental health plays a large part into this, guns, etc. I just can't believe this is everyone's go to now.

being turned down by a girl sounds crappy.  There but for the grace of god...

Interesting stuff here:

The Best Explanation for Our Spate of Mass Shootings Is the Least Comforting

At the risk of oversimplifying a complex argument, essentially he argues that each mass shooting lowers the threshold for the next. He argues, we are in the midst of a slow-motion “riot” of mass shootings, with the Columbine shooting in many ways the key triggering event. 

Here’s the most ominous part of the Gladwell thesis. The “low threshold” shooters are motivated by “powerful grievances,” but as the riot spreads, the justifications are often manufactured, and the shooters more and more “normal."   

In the day of Eric Harris, we could try to console ourselves with the thought that there was nothing we could do, that no law or intervention or restrictions on guns could make a difference in the face of someone so evil. But the riot has now engulfed the boys who were once content to play with chemistry sets in the basement. The problem is not that there is an endless supply of deeply disturbed young men who are willing to contemplate horrific acts. It’s worse. It’s that young men no longer need to be deeply disturbed to contemplate horrific acts.

The solution is to stop letting everyone know how many kids are being killed by guns.

Makes sense to me. I’m sure the NRA thought of all the possible ways of reducing the glorification of guns before arriving at this solution.

his impulse is correct, but it shouldn't be legislated.

his hayes face looks to be the exact right hayes face.

It's not the media's fault really though.....it's these parents....and their incessant wailing over their kids being shot and killed....that is where we need some sensible regulations.  No loitering signs in front of the schools after these events?  Stiff upper lip mindset, where the sorrow is limited to their homes?  Something!

[Spracne]

Agreed. But it won't happen, because we have voracious appetites.

Cool NRA black guy will make guns boring again.
