    I read the, little, future senator, barricaded the class door and locked everyone in. They had to get help to open it up

    Sounds like a hostile work environment.

    Sounds like that kid is need of an exorcism!! 😲

    Reportedly the gun was secured in a locked garage and had a trigger lock installed . How did 6 year old access it , remove the lock and hide it from a search ? Lots of things just not adding up .

    Multiple problems reported with his behavior in the recent past . The idea of " mainstreaming" special needs kids into conventional classroom settings is deeply flawed.

    It is so very surprising and not at all in any way predictable the kid had a history of aggressive behavior that was ignored even though reported.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Now after hearing more about this kid I’m more convinced that there are demons that walk among us.

    Looks like Allen beat me to updating this. I also saw that most days the child had a parent sit in class with him but not on the day of the shooting.

    Imagine being a teacher and having a child so disruptive a parent had to stay with him and your boss telling you to ignore the threats.

    Exactly, and on this day the parent was not present with the child in school. Did the parent set up / use the child to shoot the teacher? Did the parent giver the gun to the boy that morning? That boys hate and aggression was learned from home.

    I worked with children just like this child in a locked psychiatric hospital . They , for the most part developed their aggression from within . It was not always learned from home. There are people who are born with absolutely no conscience, morals, inhibitions or empathy for others in their makeup . They are true sociopaths. Generally even years of intense therapy and medications fail to correct their problems. The best we as society can hope for is that they are confined in a locked secure facility so as to do no harm to the public .

    "There are people who are born with absolutely no conscience, morals, inhibitions or empathy for others in their makeup ."


    That is a description of a person with fetal alcohol syndrome. Mom was getting drunk while pregnant. There is an epidemic of fetal alcohol syndrome among certain minority groups today in America.

    In the old days I think we referred to them as a bad seed.

    Remind me of a former friend's young son a few years ago, who said he wanted to be a detective when he got older. Why? So he could shoot people he didn't like, and get away with it. He was around 8 or 9 at the time. Probably wasn't a bad idea on my part to break off contact with that particular family, and them having moved out of state a couple years back, I hope they've got that kid some help.
