Gods forbid people read this shit and think for themselves...
The Perry, Iowa shooter's social media has, already, been scoured off the internet.
To prevent us from reading the killer's own words and deciding for ourselves if others like them pose a threat, I am sure.
Now we will get what the killer said filtered through the media, and more importantly, the government
Remember, we're still waiting for the Nashville shooter's manifesto to be released officially.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant and we keep shoving this stuff into the dark.
Busy at work so missed the story... Did the postings fail to fit the preferred narrative or was it a genuine... Huh, yeah, cannot think of a good reason that would be removed. Put behind the "this might be offensive" click through, but...
ReplyDeleteThis puke is all that you figured he was. There are bits and pieces of his social media that show he was a little queer boy looking for his 15 minutes of fame. I just feel sorry for the families of his victims. I'm sure that pedo joe will be out there shoveling lies about this.
ReplyDeleteIf the shooter doesn't fit the narrative that the media and government is dying for... if it isn't the mythincal "christian conservative/right wing/neo-nazi/white nationalist/racist" they tend to bury it. And it almost always isn't. You can about count the number of shooters who actually fit into any of those categories.
ReplyDeleteBut that doesn't stop their "dear leaders" from repeating that conservatives are the "greatest threat to democracy".

The shooter was bullied relentlessly starting in elementary school. The bullying escalated to his sister and that made him snap. It was a small town with idiot teachers who did nothing to discourage the abuse. It's the same old story: the meanness of small town people and the stupidity of public school teachers.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. The MEANEST people I've ever met in my life all lived in small towns. City folk are a helluva lot nicer.. or at the very least they leave you the hell alone.
But none of this excuses anything. I lived that story as a bullied kid in a small town, but I never pulled a nutjob. We're all personally responsible for our actions and whatever happened to us is no excuse for evil behavior.
So I don't care about the shooter's motivations or if he had a bad childhood... because countless other people with the same or worse backgrounds don't commit evil. -JKing
I, too, was bullied and in a small town for two years of it. I agree with your assessment.
DeleteThe modern anti-bullying movement does nothing to discourage it and the present encouragement of LGBT is emboldening the nut cases rather than comforting the queer.
And I say that as someone who doesn't have anything against gay folks, but much against what schools are doing to students in this arena.
I consider Ames a "small town". Bullying there was pretty much encouraged by the school administrators. "Zero tolerance" policies that punished the victims even when they make no attempt to defend themselves made bullying much worse. I do think that putting all teachers together is kind of unfair because there were teachers who wouldn't put up with bullying, but there were others that went along with the higher ups who looked the other way or allowed it because the heirarchy set up by bullies sort of created a certain order that they liked. I think it is or at least was pretty endemic to Iowa's kind of culture. There's this thing they call up there "Iowa Nice" but hey don't see the bad side of it. Iowa is extremely homogenous and people who don't fit in with that for whatever reason are treated badly. Oh, but they're "nice" about it. Iowans have a facade of friendly, they will smile and wave but then they will talk behind your back. Small town people can be the worst kinds of gossips.
DeleteI agree with McThag that it doesn't appear like all of the artificially imposed "diversity" and "inclusion" rules are necessarily doing what they are supposed to. It does seem like it is just encouraging more bad behavior by those aggressive enough to take advantage of it and not really protecting people who are being picked on who are usually afraid.

That matches some of my experience. I worked with a kid from a small town in Kansas and he described almost every adult male of his acquaintance as mean, including the one involved in a fatal bar fight.
