Then why post this?
These shooting threads get confusing enough, please don’t add completely random and unfounded conspiracy theories.
School/Mass shootings are now part of our culture.

Just providing background info that the area has been under heavy racial tension for some time. It was also hit very hard by Harvey as well.

Right, but these stories suck enough as they are. I’m just saying please wait to toss in a KKK/Group connection until there is at least some evidence to point that day.

9 students, 1 teacher. Fuck.
They have two suspects in custody. One has been indentified, Dimitrios Pagourtzis.
I really hope there isn’t any like Stoneman Douglas for this one. Dealing with crazy people is enough of a problem. Having knowledge that they are going to do something and nothing is done is way worse.

The article mentions, several times, that on his clothing was adorned Nazi insignia. I hope what is seen in conjunction with other evidence is that it is related to mental illness, and not taken as a shot--attempted link??--to anything accused of being political in relation to today's climate. I also note that the article did not mention the hammer and sickle on his jacket collar at all.
Not just Nazi regalia...
I can’t tell if there’s a swastika on the IC, but according to an acquaintance that’s familiar with WWII era decorations (he’s a reenactor), it looks more like a WWI-era decoration. Sooooo, not a Nazi.

Slight disagreement, he had a bunch of shit on there trying to make himself out as a bad-ass.
Hammer and sickle, so can we argue he is a socialist/communist?
Rising sun, does that make him a Buddhist?
Cthulhu, really?
We'll have to wait and see if Mr Trench coat was bullied, or is just an asshole; either way, I hope he enjoys our penal system.
I hope he gets tossed into the general population sooner, rather than later.
Texas will stick a needle in his arm, or one of his fellow inmates will shank him (my preferred choice).
Local news says he used a shotgun and .38 revolver, which means the family member who owns them also gets fucked.
I grew up in a different town outside of Houston, but relatively close to this area. This hits pretty close to home.
Aside from intense anger and sadness at another arbitrary killing spree, I feel like this is a cultural/communal failing that cannot be fixed with some simple politicized moves. Maybe this kid is just an evil POS. But these events seem to be happening more often, and I doubt more evil people are just being born.
Whatever is happening to cause this, these "people" have lost any human connection to their peers. Guns/bullying/etc. have existed for far longer than school shootings, but something has changed in recent history to spur the acceleration of these events. I don't think there is one simple answer, but it sure seems that the more "connected" we are, the more isolated, divided, and estranged we become from one another. Especially in those who have been immersed in that world during the early stages of brain development. Who knows...

What are you on about? I'm only saying it does look like a pre nazi Iron Cross. I didn't say anything else let alone speculate on his political leanings. Unless I've missed something in my own post?
I've already seen two media outlets call it a Nazi award. You can clearly see this isn't the case unless he has some pseudo-Nazi era award like a WWI Iron Cross with a swastika on it. The narrative's out there so now it is the "truth."
It’s the “truth” because Only Right Wingers Can Be Nazis (TM). The media needs this kid to be a rightie.
ETA: According to the garbage at Yahoo! News, he was bullied, but the reasons weren’t disclosed. The closest one gets is “he’s weird” because he wore that trench coat in hot weather.

I live by Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the last big school shooting down here in Parkland.
Man i drove by there last night by accident, never actually have driven past it. There were people outside crying and holding onto the fence.. that really hit me in the feels. Some people putting up loving posters and things onto the fence at 2300
I guess this recent school shooting really brought all the emotions back to the family's of MSD. So sad

No doubt. Death of your kid: worst nightmare of any parent.

Cannot 'like' this one enough....
Texas school shooting: Gunman targeted my daughter because she rejected him, grieving mom says
Allegedly he shot up the school because he kept getting turned down by some girl, whether that's the specific reason or not I dont know. According to a police affidavit he targeted people he didn't like.
I'm guessing the bullying reason previously mentioned in the thread might be true.

Another tragedy I'm not sure there were enough warning signs with this kid, given the limited information that we have at this time. That said, the information seems to suggest that this kid, 1) liked authoritarian regimes (communism, as well as German and Japanese imperialism) and 2) was a social misfit/outcast.
Regarding point 2, I think Jordan Peterson may be on to something with regard to anti-social males.

If you've never been rejected by anyone, you're either Prince Harry or an introvert, somethings you just need to recast your net and try again. Just because you can't land your dream girl doesn't mean you have been bullied. If that were the case, Pardus would have killed all the sheeps a long time ago.
