Another not so obvious angle on the shooting

Many of the targets in these shootings are children. Perhaps this is also a fruit of the fact that we have hated on public schools for way too long. Laugh if you will, but students and teachers are subject to hate, especially from the right, also from the center. Who is to say that they have now not become acceptable targets, especially as you know the right wing will use this as their "excuse" to keep their kids out of public schools.

Maybe he hated her students because she didn't pay enough attention to him.
But clearly this is initiated with family violence.
I think they said he killed someone at home before he went to the school.
