any relation to the spineless Ted Cruz?
You mean Rafael Edward Cruz?
How is it that the people being harassed still vote for the people harassing them? It’s bizarre. Friend of mine’s grandmother was deported and he still votes R.
Because some people have different opinions than you, and aren’t completely self serving. Shocking, I know.
Oh hey, I saw your racist posts on c/conservative. It’s neat to see you elsewhere!

Man, y’all were really clever redefining the term racist to mean “I don’t like this”. That really confused people for a while.
Also, are you following me?
No, you’re just pretty racist and apparently have a tenuous grasp on the order of events. You commented on my comment and I replied.
Editing my comment.
There is a connection between the two boys that has led them to a place where this seems to be acceptable behavior. It’s something they share but is also fairly unique since most families aren’t producing multiple potential or actual school shooters.
I am interested to see what underlying causes are identified, if any.
Texan education
It’s almost always bullying or abuse at home, but no one ever admits it. These people were mentally and/or physically tortured by other people. They want revenge or to inflict a fate worse than they were given. But we keep acting like bullying still isn’t an issue and that these people were just messed up naturally.
My bet is on dysfunctional family - maybe child sa, maybe mental illness or other trauma/combination of traumas. Our society is unstable (Ie: pandemic) and they feel out of control, maybe abandoned, and this is the only way they feel powerful.
Don’t just go after him, but also the person who was ready to sell him a gun illegally.
Except he was arrested after trying to, so… No one was actually “ready” to sell him one illegally.

Is that a drug term? or a type of gun? (like a tracer round)?
Not sure if I want to know.
Glowie generally refers to a federal agent, basically a new way of saying ‘the feds’
Edit: auto-correct.
Strange word… the etymology of that term has to be interesting.
It’s actually horrible
Just looked it up. Doesn’t seem too horrible.
What the fuck! I still don’t understand why a school. Don’t shoot up other things, but why a school?
Fuck these people.
Because its one if the few places you can be nearly 100% certain no one will fire back. Shoot up a restaurant, mall, church, park, etc you will receive return fire from lawful carriers almost immediatly, especially in Texas.
If congress got shot up as often as schools did, some sane gun control might actually happen.
There are more guns in the US than people (some estimates have it at nearly 2 to 1). You cant stop people from getting them any more than the war on drugs stopped people from buying weed.
What really needs to happen is solving the root issue of violence. Poverty and a lack of access to healthcare (which includes mental healthcare).
Stupid doesn’t just run in that family, it gallops.
What an awful family.
This kid’s mother seems like a good egg. It has got to be difficult to call the cops on your kid like that, but she did it asap.
She did it knowing that her family would be lambasted by the public as well. Maybe dont try to shame them or group them together–she did the right thing. The next mom might not if everyone dogpiles onto this one.
