Why Are School Shooters Who Kill Their Bullies Vilified?

[kaththisuresh]

Why does nobody speak about the torture of the bullies?

Bullying is an awful crime, but is murder the right answer?

[Hopkirk]

There is no excuse for a school shooter.

I'm sure that there is a lot spoken about bullying in schools but if some of those bullied choose not to report it but go on the be murderers (& not only of the people who bullied them) then that is a psychological problem.

When headteachers bury their heads in the sand then what are those being bullied to do

[emmie]

there is no excuse for mass violence, being bullied is problematic wherever you are, but one must speak to the Head, teachers, and parents if school age.

[Hopkirk]

Oh come on Grumpy, are you really suggesting that picking up and using an automatic assault rifle is justified?

[fender62]

i think a lot of us have ben bullied in school one way or another in our school days, but the shooters are exactly that indiscriminate and only want to mayhem and death, i read about killer in china and japan, attacking a nursery, what the hells that about, no bullying there..
more like insane.

[Atheist]

kath; they are villified because their retaliation goes far beyond what is rational or justified. If you bullied me psychologically or physically, would you think that I was justified in killing you and lots of our classmates? I really hope you don't think that I would be justified.

[grumpy01]

No of course I’m not Hopkirk at 18.19.The point I was trying to make,clumsily as it turned out,is that very few headteachers are interested and adopt the “it doesn’t happen in my school attitude “ and are more interested in whether socks are the right colour.It may be wrong but it’s no wonder that some tragedies have happened that with a bit of interest and understanding these tragedies could be avoided.

common apparently

the only one I can think of is Dunblane 1996
Stabbings in school ARE common and it is always drugs

I got bullied by a boy in school when aged about 10, eventually I squared up to him & beat the cr* -P out of him, & never again.

I've never researched it, but I think bullies are cowards with deep underlying problems.
