It’s a view of well if they’re gonna go on a mass shooting anyway they might as well go after people who deserve it, not little kids
I get that, and I don't disagree, but my point is that the venn diagram of "shoots up schools" and "shoots up political targets" don't really overlap. Kids don't kill people for political reasons, they kill because they're in pain. Yes, they have a "better" target but that target isn't causing them active daily suffering.
You're asking for a lot of deep thought from young people who are lashing out in pain or anger and frustration.
