Schrödinger’s serial killers
Excerpted from Jonah Goldberg at The Dispatch:
Let’s accept that there’s a strong causal link between bullying and becoming a mass shooter. There’s still the fact that most people who are bullied in school don’t become mass murderers. …
Making schools more nurturing and supportive is not in conflict with making them physically safer. … I am pretty confident that there are some schools that are incredibly well-designed and heavily guarded that are also quite nurturing. If you see a family home with a state-of-the-art security system there’s no reason to assume it’s less loving and nurturing inside. …
Over the last two decades schools have leapt into the anti-bullying cause. I am sure there is less bullying in my high school today than there was when I attended. … [but] when everything is permitted, when everyone has a “reason” to do something, we act as if that lessens their responsibility for their actions, when it should mean the opposite. The sociological obsession with root causes saps the importance of agency.
This 10 year old survived the slaughter
KENS 5 News in San Antonio spoke with one of the few survivors from the fourth grade class at Robb Elementary, who wanted to share what happened to his classmates. “We have a door in the middle, and he opened it and came in and crouched a little bit and said, ‘It’s time to die,’” the 10-year-old remembered.
“When he shot, it was very loud and it hurt my ear. When I saw the bullets on the floor it was real. And when I heard the shooting through the door, I told my friend to hide under something so he wouldn’t find us. I was hiding hard and I was telling my friend not to talk because he was going to hear us. The cops said [shout] ‘help’ if you need help. And then one of the persons in my class said ‘help,’ and the guy overheard and he came in and shot her. And then the cops barged in into that classroom, and then the guy shot the cops and the cops just started shooting at him. …
[Ms. Irma and Ms. Eva] were nice teachers, and they went in front of my classmates to help and save them. I would like to say for every kid and parent to be safe.”
The massacre at Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, 05-24-22 has produced the usual demands to “do something.” We share the impulse and the anger, but what specifically to do? …
So-called red-flag laws that give police the ability to deny guns to people who may pose a risk to the community have been useful in some cases. But they are hard to enforce, as we recently learned in Buffalo. New York state has a red-flag statute, and Payton Gendron was even referred for mental counseling. He still got a gun. — Wall Street Journal.
The statement that the Second Amendment is not absolute is certainly true. There are laws that can be crafted within the confines set out under controlling Supreme Court precedent. … President Biden repeated his claim that certain weapons were prohibited at the time that the Second Amendment was ratified. That is simply untrue. — law professor Jonathan Turley.

After reading a blog post filled with repetitive, copy/pasted manically and increasingly hysterical off-topic comments by a newbie who apparently doesn’t know how to pay attention, stay on-topic, or do adulting, I logged off and collapsed into my wife’s arms with sobs wracking my body for a good 30 minutes, the silence of our living room punctuated by my wails and moans of sadness after another traumatic encounter with online idiocy.

AdamC,
Considering the impact that Wolfman has on adults; just imagine the trauma inflicted on his students.
Sad…

Maybe, but there probably were more than a few who rolled eyes and stifled snickers. Which probably caused THEM to ramp it up to even wilder levels on the ol’ Wack-o-Meter.

“just imagine the trauma inflicted on his students.”
Just like bimbette Mt. Horeb social worker Samantha Hamer was outed to her employer for beating State Senator Tim Carpenter, Sgt. Schultz’s employer should be informed how unhinged he is.
Heck, he might snap and injure young students; this certifiable Lefty NEEDS to be doxxed…it’s for THE CHILDREN!

Looks like the mayors will have to hire more social workers to take the place of the cops.
Shouldn’t be much of a problem, though, lots of smart people said so last summer. Must be true!
