Ridiculous way of saying it, reminiscent of the stupid “unalive” that’s all over social media since kill/murder/suicide are censored by the platforms. I’d wager that she spends a fair amount of time on tiktok.

I'd guess it's less that she spends time on social media and more she hadn't thought through how to say that the students killed him without giving away details she's not cleared to give out and then found herself halfway into a sentence she had no clue how to finish.

Yeah, it's poor public speaking, but I wouldn't take it as much more than that.

It's also legitimately funny and I plan to use it in the future.

I struggle with this. We all know violence begets violence. But at a certain point, you are solely responsible for the violence you create, despite triggers you may have. A rapist may have been molested as a child but that doesn’t make their crimes less heinous. Not really sure what the answer is. Probably one of the more complex problems a society faces.

Of course. I think everyone can relate to the family photos and the sense of anger he justifiably felt. Where he directed that anger and desire for vengeance was clearly wrong, but having multiple family members killed in an act of violence is the kind of thing that could push a lot of people to the brink.
 
When any of you, immediately after unexpectedly losing a child, are faced with dealing with just the grief and not the ,imo, justified rage, make logical and rational decisions, tell me how you did it. Yeah, what he did was wrong but temporary insanity is real. Sometimes, you just want someone else to feel the pain you're feeling. In the case, he had excuses for his targeting.

Fwiw, when my three month old son died in my arms from SIDS some forty years ago after ten days in a coma, it almost cost us our marriage, our family and damned near all our earthly goods and my losses weren't as bad as his. It's the same reason I had so much sympathy for Biden and his family pain. This guy had his heart torn out and he might have felt he had nothing left in the world or inside. I hate what he did but I sure can feel his pain.
