Go back bit future and prevent the Columbine shooters. Done some studying on that day. Couple flat tires and a motail cocktail in the basement they hung out in before the shooting would have ended that.
Then the media cycle that would have been about the columbine shooters is about the mad stranger who killed two innocent high schoolers and vanished.
At least it wouldn't glorify school shootings. They are big part of why that suddenly became popular.
That's dumb.
What would've really needed to happen is to speak to the parents and the school about "hey, your child and student is doing some pretty fucked up things and they're raising the stakes soon, so you may want to commit them somewhere or talk or smack some sense into them"
They had plenty of warmers and many teachers went to the parents about concern about those boys. It fell on deaf ears.
