"he was bullied much"

"i would know because i made sure of it, personally"

[smtandearthboundsuck]

The dude who said he got bullied was 100% one of the bullies

[jacify]

You can tell by the way that the classmate was describing him and his facial expressions that he was one of the bullies if not the main one.

[deathbyvinyl]

So he graduated high school, used discord, and the was on a roof? This is journalism right here.

[mdioxd]

Don't you guys love it when you watch a video and you just end up knowing exactly the same amount of information before and after ?

[VRitasium]

"He was bullied so much"
Yet they say he had "no signs of mental health issues"
How could he endure so much bullying without mental issues?

How/why do we keep letting bullying happening at schools in this day and age? This needs to stop

[MarkJones-yurs]

The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

[jaimeherber]

The guys saying he was bullied so much are probably the ones that bullied him.

[Halfshanks]

"No signs of mental health issues" That literally is a pointless statement, some people can hide their issues for years if not decades with out anyone being the wiser.

[bingeMAFIA]

How did this 20 year old child outsmart the US Secret Service? Is the question.

[guydreamr]

That fact that his father called police after learning about the shooting strongly indicates that he had prior concerns about his son.

[defenstrator]

That has to be devastating for the parents. You think things are fine and then get told your son is dead because he tried to assassinate someone. You wonder what you could have done differently so this dodn’t happen and he’d still be here.

[FzPura]

He's literally the definition of "The Quiet Kid"

[Devin-O]

20 years old and he threw away his life and we may never know why.

[debb]

Another "socially awkward loner" with no friends, pent up rage and resentment, and access to firearms. SHOCKER.

[Doamino]

Do you think the Secret Service yelled "Donald, duck!" LOL

[LIQUIDSNAKEz]

- John Wilks Booth
- Lee Harvey Oswald
- Thomas Mathew Crooks

[DistantEarlyWarning]

They're telling us what they want us to hear, but there is more to this.

MENTAL HEALTH AND BULLYING - My brother was handicapped and bullied every day in school. I lived with him and witnessed what it did to him. He had a heart condition on top of looking different. He was a straight A student. He was a kind soul and I always gave him support at home. It changed my life, and I know that adults and children can be vicious from being bullied. Everything that happened here in this historical day is about “bullying.” Kids are not born vicious, they are taught through their home life sometimes, parents, their environment, bullies at school, and teachers that do nothing about it. Our schools need to change - BULLIES NEED TO BE EXPELLED FROM SCHOOLS. This is a "mental health issue" in our schools. I went back to college for a second time for literature. I am writing a novel about how kids should treat each other, and their environment. I hope I can make a difference - even if it is a small difference!
