Police: Maryland school shooter apparently was "lovesick" teen - WTF?

[ehrnst]

LOVESICK?????

Is this the new term for homicidal stalker? For a male who feels so entitled to the attentions of a female that if she doesn't reciprocate, she deserves to die?

GREAT MILLS, Md. — Tuesday's school shooting in southern Maryland that left the shooter dead and two students wounded increasingly appears to be the action of a lovesick teenager.

Authorities on Wednesday released a few additional details into the shooting at Great Mills High School in St. Mary's County.

Austin Rollins, 17, was killed after shooting a schoolmate, 16-year-old Jaelynn Willey. A school resource officer got there within a minute and fired a shot at Willey, but it's not yet clear whether Rollins was killed by the officer's bullet or took his own life.

1. A lovesick teen who had easy access to a gun. nt

4. They try to normalize it as someone "lovesick" instead of being in a homicidal rage.

Addressing the roots of male anger and entitlement over women will not be served by dismissing premeditated assault with a deadly weapon as the actions of a "lovesick teen."

5. It can be framed however....as long as the sentence concludes with they had easy

access to a gun.....because we all know that is a large part of this problem.

8. Oh FUCK no. (nt)

12. I think it is a real report so f Yes

He was in love not returned dontcha know

[alarimer]

7. I'm sure they meant to say "controlling and abusive"

"Lovesick" people are not usually homicidal maniacs.

Yet another entitled MALE who thinks if he can't get what he wants, no one can. Our society is full of this kind of toxic masculinity. Almost all of these shooters suffer from the same delusion: that they are ENTITLED to the affection/love of some woman or girl.

9. Take the "love" out of "lovesick" and it's right on.

Sick teen.

10. "Lovesick" describes a majority of students that age......"killer"......not so many

11. Reinforcing the normalization of male violence against women.

Remember, girls: Walk up, not out!

14. Horribly misused description. Call him what he was...

Premeditated murderer. And in this case, a gun made him so.

15. He was probably stalking her.
