Thoughts and prayers. Another School Shooting

Really? I guess you are disingenuous.
Please go super serious moral on me....



Did you catch the "I googled school shooter let's call it a checked bet"


And also, the part about trans not being a red flag in and of itself.....


Super serious moral is super serious.





God damn leftists will act retarded to give themselves a blanket of good feelings.

Lib vs Con is super old and unnecessary. Let’s agree if possible that it’s tragic that two people had to die cause this (also dead) teenager was seriously screwed up.
Sad thing : take your own life
Screwed up thing: force two others to go with you

What Lib vs Con debate?


What we can agree on is what we know about this tragedy.

The shooter was definitely screwed up.
The shooter was a conservative and racist and seemingly heading towards being a neo nazi.
The shooter had access to guns.
The shooters father likely contributed to some of this.
Mental illness in kids is real.
 
It's not out of the norm especially with parents that have dreams of their child being a D1 athlete. We had a girl that had a late September birthday. Her mother had dreams of the girl becoming a college softball player so they waited until she was 6 to enroll her in kindergarten. She was 7 the majority of her kindergarten year. She did go on to play college softball, but not at the D1 level.
Your example is an ultra rare exception which is exactly my point.

The kindergarten class of 2010–11 was diverse with respect to characteristics of individual children and their families. Six percent of kindergartners started their first year of kindergarten before they turned 5 years old, while 42 percent started when they were between5 and 5½ years old, 43 percent started when they were more than 5½ years old to 6 years old, and 9 percent started after they turned 6 years old.

9% after they turned 6 doesn't account for the scarcity of those being fall or even winter birthdays. I'd bet my house 99%+ of those were summer and spring birthdays. If you taught Kindergarten you 100% know it too.

As I linked earlier in the thread 9% of the first time kindergartners in 2010-2011 were older than 6 at the start of the school year. So it's not the norm, but not all that uncommon either. In a class of 23 students, 2 would likely be over 6 at the beginning of the school year.

Either way I fail to see what her age reveals about her mental health. One of two things happened, either she started school over 6 or she was held back a year. Neither is a common trait among school shooters.

God, please stop. This liberal vs conservative nonsense is absolutely toxic.
The funniest thing about this post is the people who liked it.
Pages of talk about the shooter being trans and all trans being mentally ill and coddled by liberals. Now that it comes out to be a very different story suddenly we're supposed to be apartisan about it.

Again, being 6 at the start of K doesn't mean 9% will turn 7 before December, which this person clearly did as it relates to their grade. You can't be this obtuse by accident. The point is there's a major difference in frequency between a 6 year old Kindergartener with a summer bday and one with a bday in the fall. Again, you know this. Be honest ffs.

Again, where did you get all this knowledge about the ages of kindergartners and what point do you think you are making about this school shooting?
 
Agree generally but I think where it became an issue is when we started getting into "treatment" for children. Most people see that as a bridge too far because we all know children are irrational. I am all for people that are adults basically doing what they want to make them happy as long as it doesn't affect others.
It is definitely hard for me to believe that gender reassignment surgery for a child is the responsible thing to do.

But I am also not a doctor.

Link? Specific to the conservative and racist part.

You don't need to convince me she was screwed up.

I'll take your refusal to answer the question and accept the age point I'm making as both an acknowledgement of and an admission that you have zero integrity. It really wasn't a big deal or that complicated.

More people are killed by cows each year than kids getting reassignment surgery. It's a boogyman for the ignorant.

Almost all gender affirming surgeries in minors are happening to cis gender minors.

In 2019, the sample included 47 437 919 adults who were insured and 22 827 194 minors who were insured, of which 3 835 726 minors (16.8%) were aged 15 to 17 years, 2 708 166 (11.9%) were aged 13 to 14 years, and 16 283 302 (71.3%) were aged 12 years or younger. The rate of undergoing a gender-affirming surgery with a TGD-related diagnosis was 5.3 per 100 000 total adults compared with 2.1 per 100 000 minors aged 15 to 17 years, 0.1 per 100 000 minors aged 13 to 14 years, and 0 procedures among minors aged 12 years or younger (Figure 1). Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively. Of the 636 breast reductions among cisgender male and TGD adults, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender males. Of the 151 breast reductions among cisgender male minors and TGD minors, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender male minors.

Speaking of refusing to answer questions, pot meet kettle.

No one cares. We decided back at Sandy Hook that we value guns more than kids.
So true, just some rallying narrative to gather votes. A speech, promises, make a list and nothing done. Oh yeah and then pardon someone with gun charges.

Spend trillions on bombs and missles for foreign wars but do nothing for schools in your own country.

I'll have a mature conversation with people who don't try and play games. That's what you're doing. If you're done doing so I'll answer anything you want. Just acknowledge it is extremely rare for a student to turn 15 in or before December of their 8th grade year, and more than likely it would indicate the student was held back at some point.

You disagree with me so you think it's not a mature conversation? SMH

I said it's not the norm for a child to turn 7 in kindergarten, but it can and does happen. If that's not good enough for you I'm sorry. Now will you tell me what you think her advanced age in 8th grade proves? Should all students that have been retained or are older than their grade level peers be alerted to the authorities as possible school shooters?

It's not disagreeing, it's intentionally misrepresenting the point of my posts, which you just did again.
From the start my first post related to the age topic was that it can be ONE of many red flags. This person being 15 in December of 8th grade was a likely indicator of problems with and in school at some point. That's it.
I said none of the other garbage you projected.
