These school shootings are getting out of hand, but I am getting sick of everybody trying to blame something else as the cause. Violent movies, video games, Marilyn Manson have all been blamed for these shootings. Am I the only one that can think like the shooter? Why can’t people put themselves in the shooters shoes. Growing up as a kid is hard these days. When kids are in school the smallest things seem huge. As a kid there were many times that I felt suicidal and wanted to end it all. I wasn’t a loner and I didn’t suffer from depression, but I had those thoughts. I imagine that if I was a loner and suffered from depression my thoughts would be stronger. So if I was going to kill myself, why not go big and make it the thing everybody will talk about for months? Why not try to create the largest school massacre? Hell, it doesn’t even have to be the largest and they will still call it the largest. The largest school massacre was the Bath School disaster back on May 18, 1927. Weird, they didn’t have violent movies, video games, or Marilyn Manson back then? Do I know a solution to this? No. We live in a violent society and violent things will happen. Just look and the news every night. I do know that blaming movies, video games, and Marilyn Manson isn’t a solution. Sure all these killings are bad, but you have to take everything into perspective. The flu kills more people in a year than terrorism and school killing combined.
