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.
Don’t use his name. This is the glory people like him are striving for. No matter if they are shooting up a school, a gay night club or a president, they want to be imortalised by the media and social media so their name is forever remembered.
If we anonymize shooters there will be one less incentive for future shooters.
Fair call.
But that boat has sailed my friend. There are 100’s of news articles blasting his name across all media.
I’ll not use his name again.
