The psychopathology of whiteness knows no bounds

So he's the victim here? Poor guy.

This one doesn’t deserve to be above the ground still……

Who cares

All the more reason for him NOT to be able to buy weapons of war!!!

Cruz 🤔 where have I heard this before?🤔

This is so wrong. This guy should have life sentence without wasting tax payers money

Do we have to keep reading about his wimpering excuses? Fuck his feelings. Too late care

Lots of people have developmental delays but they don't bring a gun to school and kill kids.

BlissTabitha What meds was he on?

The fokin gov3rnent now

That's not a reason to bring an AR15 to school and murder multiple children. The law needs to protect the victims!

Developmental delays cause someone to murder innocent people?

Puleeeze. F.a.s. is in no way associated with violent tendencies, let alone total psych- maniacal delusions leading to mass shootings of any kind. Nice try, desperate lawyer but you're waaay off base. There's No connection there. If he did loads of meth, different story perhaps.

Easier more efficient to identify these people early rather than ban guns. Behavior first noticed at school

So did a whole bunch of us who didn't kill anyone.

Oh well, burn it.

Apparently smart enough to know how to use rifle. Boo hoo.

Who cares… not an excuse

so hey let him have access to an AR 15

Blame mommy, don't think so.

Supongo que alguno con lo de la ostia y la onda expansiva se habrá enterado ya de cuando le toca hincar el pico, no? 🤔

So why would delays give him right to shoot up others?
