The reason is that Trump has been raking them over the coals for other reasons, bad timing for them to be sure. To the rest, I literally said exactly that much earlier in the thread. The biggest share of blame goes to the school district and their policy of not contacting law enforcement regarding criminal acts by students unless the crime involves violence. According to available information this kid made numerous threats to other students and the police were never contacted because we don't want that "school to prison pipeline". One criminal threats conviction and this kid can't buy a firearm. You won't hear this discussed though, much like you won't hear how left leaning soft on crime legislation is resulting in a rise in crime for the first time in ~25 years.
I have yet to see anything in the reporting about the school. I saw your comment about it, but I have seen reporting on the other groups and so that is why I focused on them.
