Bullying scales with the internet. I would not be the least bit surprised if the football player he shot was involved.
Is bullying given as an excuse here? Because these shitheads are usually the bullies not the bullied.
Is it Columbine that started that myth?
It seems to be a pretty frequently cited motive by the shooters more than myth. But what do they know?

Misleading reporting to avoid any risk of sympathy for the killer. The sheriff said the anti bullying coordinator had no record, which is almost always the case.
Oxford High senior Treshan Bryant said the suspect had been bullied, and he decided to stay home from school after hearing about a possible shooting threat.

Man I hope they nail the father in this too
"Under-sheriff Mike McCabe said the student's parents advised their son not to talk to investigators. Police must seek permission from a juvenile's parents or guardian to speak with them, he said."

If Michigan has safe storage laws, the father might be in trouble.
Dunno why you think punishment is merited for excercising Fifth Amendment rights, but you do you.

I didn't say the father should be punished for telling the kid that. He should do time for irresponsible ownership.

But definitely not the shooter…bro.
Even if that's true it doesn't really change the situation that much beyond being another example of media using a "narrative" in place of a "fact" to get clicks.
The students still thought it was the shooter and behaved as such... their fear... their behavior is what resonates in that video. And parents it's one thing to know your kid has done active shooter drills, it's another to see it played out in a real situation where you could easily imagine your child in that room.

Yeah same. My two little siblings attend high school in the US and I worry about this a lot. How did things get this way

Me either. Reason #57 to find a cabin in the woods and disappear.

When I was in first grade, an older girl brought her dads handgun on the bus. This was 1987. She took it out of her backpack, waved it around, let some of the other kids hold it. I think about that sometimes.

Here in Maine, HS students in a certain class can bring their guns in and learn to clean and care for them. The gun racks in the backs of their trucks in the parking lot are an odd site if you're not used to it.
