Are you seriously going to tell me that you can look at the pictures of him crammed into the cop cosplay outfit and not think that he's Augustus Gloop from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory crossed with Eric Cartman?  LOL.  Yeah, I'm sure he just bought the AR to defend himself from the mob of young ladies trampling each other to earn his favor.  


His mom had to remove him from school.  Lots or kids, perhaps even most, experience bullying.  How many cope so poorly that they have to be removed from social interaction with their peers.  It's not the norm, for sure.  
Also not saying he's "right".  I don't think a 17 year old patrolling a riot zone with an AR is a good idea on any level.  Does the military let 17-year-olds enlist?  I am open to the idea that he was indeed defending himself, but I'm not ready to build a statue of the pudgy fella in DC to honor his heroism as the right seems prepared to do.  
I dunno, maybe the people that venerate him can send him a care package of some donuts and cheesy poofs to help him cope.

Kid had issues.  Unfortunately he went along with the "everyone else is at fault, get me a gun" way of dealing with it.

His parents are just as much to blame.  (Maybe they feel the same?)

Bullying is bad.  It does not make people better or tougher.  Nor does fighting.  We've already had that argument around here.

Also teens can be awful and provoke kids who are easily provoked into doing something out of anger/frustration.

And, again, this kid decided that going to another city in another state with a gun was his way of "helping".

Then, when confronted, he killed two people.

It's bad all the way around and it really speaks to out gun culture in this country and how people can be led to think that violence is the best solution.
