Maybe for the Dad. The kid is going to get convicted of Murder 1.

I want to try shooting skeet. Target shooting just didn't seem fair to the target.

No, but he can say αντιο σας to his three ships and his business.

But he wasn't from a "shithole" country, and he's white. Also, he's an NRA member.

Target shooting is crazy boring. Most people shoot trap, and it's a bit easier to get proficient at. Shotgunning is about nice, fluid movements--like carving great turns on a ski slope. Don't overthink it. 12 gauge is easiest, but my favorite is an ancient 20 gauge that belonged to my great aunt.

Get back to me when you have a fair and rational mind.

Kids are a responsibility, not an excuse.

What's funny is that for some weird reason, which you do not explain, you think that I have proved your point, which appears to be that anything goes as long as it's your kid who did it.

Not true. Killing ten people is one example of unacceptable behavior by your child.

BTW, people certainly have killed for their kids, but then, people have killed for all kinds of reasons. Once a mother in Texas tried to arrange a hit so her daughter could get on the cheer leading squad. Per your logic, that makes her a good mother.

It is yourself you overestimated. You seem to think you are writing for the psychic network.

Your statement that "[n]o one is rational about their own kids" is untrue. You don't get to speak for every parent in the world. What does seem to be true is that YOU are not rational about your kids. I shudder to think what level of entitlement you are teaching them.

Well, he can fuck right off.

Emma is accused of being a bully when she said that students avoided him. Mental gymnastics. And honestly, the incel community has been like that for a while. It's not a new concept. There are plenty of men in history who acted like that - killing women for not dating/fucking them. The only difference is now they find each other online and create echo chambers.

But it was propped up right here, in the corner! Near the cupboard.

Greece kind of is these days. Eh, not that white to some folks. Ok, that will get him off.

He wasn't bullied.

He sexually harassed a girl for 4 months despite her telling him she wasn't interested. She finally confronted him publicly, so he killed her and her friends and anyone else he didn't like.

He wasn't bullied. He was entitled and believed that girl was his property.

He said he ate and played with his son the night before the shooting

huh? he played with him? This sounds either just weird, or creepy, not sure which really.

Get back to me (actually, don't) when you stop behaving like a child and take responsibility. Having kids does not entitle you to special standing in discussions.
