    Assuming it’s school attendants themselves, then they probably don’t have a direct reason to shoot up anywhere but their school. Maybe their home. Their school is probably the thing that’s causing them direct issues in their life, it’s where their anger is aimed, and people don’t often consider better options when they’re that level of angry. I just don’t really see these two things having enough overlap for that to be a thing.

    Obviously, it’s a very different scenario when it’s not someone who’s enrolled at the school. That’s a level of dysfunction that I can’t even begin to look at the world through the lens of. I don’t think that kind of dysfunction is the one to take suggestions of better places to shoot up, though.

      It’s a view of well if they’re gonna go on a mass shooting anyway they might as well go after people who deserve it, not little kids

        I get that, and I don’t disagree, but my point is that the venn diagram of “shoots up schools” and “shoots up political targets” don’t really overlap. Kids don’t kill people for political reasons, they kill because they’re in pain. Yes, they have a “better” target but that target isn’t causing them active daily suffering.

        You’re asking for a lot of deep thought from young people who are lashing out in pain or anger and frustration.
