What about the Colorado school shooting? [View all]

Until someone is definitively taken into custody with enough evidence to be charged - if that even ever happens, as there's a lot of wanna bees, big talkers, and shit stirring trolls on social media who will be claiming they know what the motive for the Utah shooter of a shit-stirrer is (or that they are the shooter), I don't really care.
Unless that motivation leads to other public figures being shot in public venues.

I do care what causes a 13 or 14 year old to bring a gun into a school and shoot other kids. Why a 13 or 14 year old believed that would be an acceptable option to handle disappointment or anger.
Maybe we shouldn't be holding shit stirrers in such high regard that their grifting valueless actions or life events become something to admire or emulate.
Anyway, the mighty Wurlitzer of talking heads and media darlings will play a chaotic calliope over anything useful or corrective that could come out of this
