Blame the far-left.

Blame the community college.

How convenient! Explain-Aways Made Easy!

It’s not your fault, even though it was YOU who
-swallowed the bullshit,
-allowed it to upset you and didn’t seek help or counseling,
-acquired the gun
-acquired the shooting expertise,
-got your ass up on the rooftop of one of the campus buildings,
-found the best place to take aim,
-found a way to get the hell outta there with a minimum of injury OR visibility,
-and remained on the lam for hours before being located and arrested.

Hey, excuse-seekers! The moral of this story is that you CAN decide, set up, and commit evil, and then assert that something else unfair to you or done to you or denied you made you do it. So how can it be your fault then, ‘eh?

And MAYBE you can even get away with it. At least for awhile.
