The reason I think that it wasn’t politically motivated is because, we have this poor kid that has been bullied every day for years.

In the usual run of things in the US this would just be another school shooting. But those are so passé now days.

To be truly remembered and immortalised you shoot the loudest bully in the world.

This got deleted from unpopular opinions, reason is justifying violence. Just a note, I’m not trying to justify what Thomas did, just speculating on his motivations.

    Yep 4chan is a cesspit of hatred.

    Learning to ignore the crazy person on the street corner is a life lesson.

    While I agree fully with your sentiment, the internet brings all the crazies of the world to the same street corner and emboldens them. They think their views are the norm because everyone around them is spouting the same shit, whereas in times gone by the crazies were isolated and the shit didn’t leach from them like a cracked sewer main.
