Keep in mind he was god damn 15.
That kid should be given help, not just dumped into a prison.
I hate the American "justice" system. All this will lead to us for Ethan to become more dysfunctional and become more of a danger to society once he is out of juvenile. Because of fucking course mental care apparently doesn't exist.
It's definitely a weird spot to discuss.
There was a guy who talked about how he was almost a school shooter and was stopped and he discussed his perspective on being a mentality ill teen with access to firearms. People were so fucking vile to that guy, loads of harassment and people say he deserves prison and telling him to kill himself.
So instead of trying to utilize this person, who wasn't a mass murder, and gain an inside look into what it's like for this kids, the world would rather just shit all over them, even when they shoot a grand total of 0 people.
I get for some it's a tough talk, but the fact that we aren't is a huge part of the problem to begin with.
Maybe the kid had issues mentally.
But we should NOT be hearing news about 15 year old kids killing other kids in a society.
That is 15 years of failure in upbringing. Failure of society. Failure of culture.
The newspaper headlines should be
"Why are our kids falling off from being just kids"
not
"That kid who killed the other kids is gone for good"
