1. Wow!

I thought I couldn't be shocked anymore. That is legit shocking.

[msongs]

2. link to tweet lol

[ProudLib72]

3. I'm sure the NRA gun humpers will latch onto this asshole

Lock him up in the cell next to his dear, loving son.

[MissB]

4. Well we don't need to ask "why". It seems obvious where

the kid got the idea to kill people.

[Ligyron]

5. For all we know that could absolutely be true.

As in: "I'll show them... I'll show them ALL"!

6. If every kid who was bullied in school went on a shooting spree like this,

there would never be graduation ceremonies. I realize that bullying is a real problem in school, but you can't excuse homicidal behavior by blaming it on being bullied. Besides that, from other reports I've read, the trigger for his actions might have been that one of the dead students had rejected his romantic advances.

7. Good kids? You mean like girls who didn't say no? nt

[Hoyt]

8. He lashed out WITH A gun because daddy taught him and indoctrinated him into gun culture.

And, gave him access to guns. Be honest.

[lunasun]

12. ++Daddy still making excuses for murders with guns

[njhoneybadger]

28. That's why daddy thinks he's a good boy.

[Hav]

9. Reading the article, it just show how out of touch

they are. One step that might have stopped it would have been if his minor son couldn't simply take his father's guns to school. Not much regret or guilt voiced about this crucial aspect in the article.

[stmac]

10. Dad should be charged as an accomplice to this shooting...

And receive the same sentence.

[maxsolomon]

21. I'd settle for 10 years, civil restitution

and loss of his Gun Rights.

Gun Culture on Parade. HIS KID IS THE BULLY - he shot that gal twice in the fucking head.

[stmac]

24. A strong message needs to be sent to gun owners that

If your gun gets “borrowed” and used in a crime, you will be culpable. Same for straw purchasers.

When prison terms start getting doled out to these people, It will have a very significant impact on keeping guns out of the wrong hands.

[maxsolomon]

25. Don't hold your breath.

Police generally express sympathy for the poor negligent parents. Maybe if the Dad was black they'd do something...

[lunasun]

11. He was on the football team. He was hassling a student to go out . She was the first killed

She had to ask him in public to stop bothering her
his son spared the good kids

[csziggy]

18. One of the cable TV news anchors was calling him an "incel"

For "involuntary celibate" - I was surprised that they were bringing that into the conversation. It fits, though if he considered her turning him down as bullying.

Not sure which cable news - I was bouncing around between MSNBC, CNN and HLN this morning.

[ecstatic]

20. Incel at 17?? Is sex expected as a right before 18 now?

If so, wow!

[FSogol]

13. Everyone remembers how much bullying the football team had to put up with. Tragic!

[hardluck]

15. Oh, I remember that too

The poor football players at my high school were constantly bullied by the chess team and the theater group. Won't anybody think of the poor football players!

[cynatnite]

14. Even if he was bullied...

It's one of the multitude of issues that need to be dealt with which includes holding gun owners responsible when they don't properly store and lock up their weapons.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. Way to admit guilt! Father knows son was bullied--keeps firearms accessible, doesn't see pipe bombs!

[pansypoo53219]

17. why hasn't daddy been charged?

[maxsolomon]

22. IOKIYIT

It's OK if you're in Texas.

"Don't you think the parents have suffered enough?" -Sheriffs after toddlers kill their siblings or selves.

[ecstatic]

19. uh huh.... lock both of them up!

Seriously... you think your son is being bullied, so you leave guns and bullets lying around? Seriously!? Please tell me this statement was made from BEHIND bars?

[VOX]

23. Because mass murder is the best and only practical answer to any personal offense.

Sorry dad, you fucked up by having weapons in the house with a struggling teenager. In fact, you are more to blame for his actions by allowing him easy access to firearms.

And whatever you're parenting skills may be, it sounds like you need a refresher course.

[brush]

26. Jail his ass too for not securing his guns that the killer kid used to take innocent lives.

Fuck that "victim" shit.

[Phoenix61]

27. Celia needs to read more carefully

The shooter said that, not the father who seems absolutely confused about how his child could have done what he did. AP spun what the father said. He said maybe his son was bullied because, he believes, something had to have happened to turn his son into a murderer.

[Butterflylady]

29. So, let me get this straight.

Your son murdered 10 people that treated him wrong. Ten human beings that had families and friends that will never see them again. That will have only memories of them and unbearable pain for most of their remaining life and your telling us that your son is a victim. Wow. All I can say is, like father, like son.
