Anyone who reaches a point in life where they decide to kill, we need to figure out how they got there. Not many monsters are born, many are created. If we refuse to figure out how society creates monsters we will never be able to stop the cycle.
So many bad things happen to kids in schools. Too many are bullied and ignored. There needs to be a time when we are able to have adults interject to deescalate the situation. People who bully others need to be held accountable for their actions and punished. If an adult wouldn't accept that treatment from another ... our kids need to be given that same protection. Time to stop acting like it's just kids being kids.
Teachers are not capable in this area for stopping bullying. The last decade has proven that. They are either too out of touch with the kids or they are ignoring the bad behavior because they are uncomfortable with the conflict.
It's too easy to call a person who kills a monster, but many are pushed to that mental state when they feel like no one is listening or doing anything. These are people who feel powerless and like no one cares and that this is the only way they can make a statement. And it isn't only kids who do this ... it's repeated with many mass killers who decide to do violence.
Will gun control stop it from happening? Probably not as that is only the removal of a tool. People would resort to poison or other devices to kill at the level they want like using a building boiler or natural gas supply to detonate the entire building.
The key thing is to let those who are this troubled know that they matter and provide a method for them to get action for where injustice is being imposed on them.
Schools need an HR system for bullies. It's not funny anymore the way some kids are tormented beyond their capacity to cope as a child. Adults need to impose rules of behaviour that are expected from society, so let's make sure these juveniles know what society will and will not accept. Maybe then many adult sociopaths will be prevented who are created by the trauma caused during childhood.
