Yes, because terrorism & mass shootings only occur in the US, nowhere else at all.

School shootings seem to be a US thing. Even Pakistan has safer schools

There is on average one mass shooting in the USA every single day........ yet Muslims terrorists are apparently the biggest threat to US citizens????

Talk about being conned by those in power.

I may be way off base, but have the politicians of the US considered that their school system may have an issue?

It seems at a first glance to be a gun problem, however, there doesn’t appear to me to be continual problems in the US with mass shootings in factories or in offices or even within clubs and bars - and there’s alcohol involved there. (I am aware of the LV shootings btw)

Is there a problem in American Schools with elitism and disaffection of minorities, I’m talking of the “Jock/Cheerleader Culture” and the mixing of the have / have-nots along with all the racial variants.

After school age people tend to stratify into groups related to work or interest - most of which attract similar people, the school system is the pinch point at a point when hormones are raging and social differences are amplified. Is the problem access to guns or mardy teenagers with an axe to grind?

Feel free to tell me I’m wrong if you know better, I’m just airing thoughts and discussing a tragic and needless crime.

There is a mass shooting in the USA every single day. There have 'only' been 19 in schools since 1 January. That means, on average, there have been 27 mass shootings that happened elsewhere since January 1.

Its an epidemic in the USA and not just in schools but the law makers hands are tied by some ancient crock of shit about the right to bear arms. When a jihadi terrorist group commits mass murder in another country its a heinous crime according to the USA but they have a far bigger problem in their own Country but blindly ignore it.

This kid was an outsider...a loner. He'd been expelled from the school, so I can only assume/guess there'd been some major issues with the kid. He'd returned to exact some sort of vengeance, it appears. There'll be some major mental malfunction going on there....which kinda goes without saying.
I know to get my concealed carry permit I had to go through a psyche evaluation, and then a bit of basic weapons/range training. Also had to get shot (wearing Kevlar, obviously) in order to get the permit. Fun stuff like that.

although I complete agree with your post Duke, I also feel Deegee makes a very valid point. The shooting is a symptom of an underlying problem. Mental health issues and support obviously need more attention over there. No well balanced sane person decides to blow away there classmates.

Mental health issues caused by living in what appears to be a shit society unless you have loads of money and/or a fecking big automatic weapon to wipe out those who think you are a twat!

Britain has become America-light. According to police officers i have spoken to recently, a lot more criminals are armed now than there have ever been in the UK.

It's not a sh!t society unless you allow it to be, or want to perceive it in such a way. Mental issues are usually present in approx. 10-13% of any given population, regardless of contributing factors like ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, etc.

It's got very little to do with nationality per se. rather than environment.....but I get your point. The two DO go hand in hand to some extent.

When America banned the sale of automatic rifles the number of massacres dropped by 37%.

It's almost as if banning the sale of these things was starting to work.
