The title is the topic. I know that this kind of "news" is pointless, but I wanted to throw my two cents in, since I missed my chance to talk about local events with Isla Vista, CA and wanted to make up for it.
Let's take a moment to think about California's schooling and social atmosphere. You're not being taught life skills, entrepreneurship, or how to actually find a job. At best, you're taught math, basic science that you won't know what to do with, and how to sign your soul away. At worst, you're preached to. History class is just an excuse to beat you over the head with guilt. White people killed the injuns. White people colonized Africa. White people were all responsible for the Holocaust. Civics? Democracy and multiculturalism are the only way to atone. These kids lose their innocence regularly and early. Your parents are evil, your grandparents were genocidal. Everything you have, you got through unfair means. You don't deserve anything. You don't deserve respect. You don't deserve what you own or bought with your own allowance.
White achievement is downplayed, ancient history and human achievement is all about other races and people. You don't hear about the Barbary Slave Trade, the burning of the libraries of Alexandria, the expansion of Indo-European peoples across the globe pre-Egypt. Relevant culture, history and philosophies are avoided whenever possible. The founding of our own country is belittled and mocked. "Dead white men" is a catch-all term to gloss over individuals who were genuinely bright men. Ignore their words and deeds, they're white and male!
Until after graduating high school, you are never given room to breathe. Schoolyards are tightly monitored. Teachers and noon duties are just wardens and guards. All conflicts are treated like prison riots, quelled before a real resolution can take place out of fear of shootings. Ironically, it creates an upper class of people who simply game the system, using "zero tolerance" to incriminate anyone who retaliates to harassment. Innocent kids, told never to start fights but always finish them, are treated like felons and thugs, while thugs are ignored.
Every kid that gets brought to the principal's office knows about the urban legends of the Permanent Record - every time you're called in there, it's a mark against you that will never leave. Maybe you think it'll affect your GPA, maybe you think it'll last well into adulthood. What should be a time where mistakes are common learning experiences, is instead a time of mounting dread and fear of consequences that will likely never come. Kids feel trapped. Meanwhile, bathroom stalls, posters, and teachers preach body acceptance, as if that's the problem.
INTP kids, quiet and neurotic kids who just want to be left alone, are berated by those they consider role models and authority figures. They keep what they think to themselves, but as they're backed up against a wall, they start to embitter. They start to make plans.
All these attempts at restricting gun ownership will not solve the problem. This problem is ENDEMIC to American and European schools. No other race or culture is given this feeling. In fact, people of other races are being given a golden ticket to be reckless and careless. While white kids are told to be ashamed of misdeeds they aren't responsible for, black kids and Mexican kids are told that they're inherently innocent and justified in anything they do. Everyone takes the side of the minority kid, even when guilty of something heinous. Those kids, while sometimes prosecuted, often don't change as they grow up. Lack of a father increases one's chance of continuing their delinquent behavior well into adulthood, and becoming embroiled in a gang which continues to foment racial animosity.
Coming back to the shooters, these kids are in genuinely dangerous social conditions, never looked at as equals by their teachers, and backed up against a wall by more and more volatile pressure. Whether you're a liberal or conservative, or apolitical, the fear keeps building up. Eventually, these kids start plotting. They find a steak knife, or they find out their dad's safe's passcode and get his handgun. It doesn't matter how tightly to one's chest they hide or protect their guns. People find a way. And if they don't get a gun, they get a knife.
Some kids have a manifesto and clear-cut targets. See the Dirties, a genuinely interesting movie about this kind of behavior. Others sloppily lash out at their peers, even those who would have related with them strongly, like Elliot Rodgers' nerdy, asocial, and Asian dorm-mates. Then, after the deed is done, the media, the locusts, pick up the rubble and craft their little art pieces. They dig into the killers' personal lives. They ignore the actual victims, and turn the killer into an anti-hero, a monster or a mastermind to fear and admire. 24/7 coverage stokes up the flames. Sensationalizing something that should mostly be locally shared in a factual and apolitical manner. The others who might sympathize with these unhinged kids follow in their footsteps, become interested in copying them. And then, it repeats.
Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
Puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day

These politicians and rat-faced finks make me sick. They're the biggest reason to escape from this place.
