    He’s 14. He’s about as innocent as every other child. While he should certainly be educated and corrected, allowing a child to fall into that shit is the fault of their guardian.

    Do you remember all the stupid shit you thought and believed at 14?

      Kids do dumb things and hopefully learn from their mistakes but I dont think actively planning to shoot up a school is one of those things you can argue as innocuous.

      The article doesn’t say whether he originally had these thoughts or if it was pressed onto him by his mother. It definitely sounds like he was at the very least encouraged to do extreme violence by his mother and he said himself that he looked up to other shooters and thought he would be famous.

      The kid needs some mental health counseling at the very least in my opinion.
