Why are Kids Killing Kids?

In the name of full disclosure, I am a lifelong supporter of the 2^nd Amendment, and every other natural human Right protected by our Charters of Freedom…because I’m a supporter of Freedom, Liberty, and real Justice for all. Maybe by the time you finish reading this piece, you will understand.

Of course, every time another school mass shooting takes place, Marxists rush to blame the inanimate object, the weapon used to commit the crime. Never mind the fact that the inanimate object is entirely incapable of harming anyone on its own, or that decades of crime statistics here and around the world prove two very important facts…

Criminals don’t follow laws, only law-abiding citizens do
Disarming law-abiding citizens always results in an increase in violent crime

No one ever asks the right question regarding these events, because they are far more focused on their anti-American agenda of eliminating the 2^nd Amendment Rights of every legal law-abiding citizen to keep (own) and bear (carry) arms in the United States. An unamerican agenda that no one in the United States has the legal authority to adopt, execute, or enforce.

A Right to defense of self and property is fundamental to the survival and success of any free society…not to mention, also a necessity in a nation run by anti-American criminals who continue to import millions more violent criminals from 3^rd world toilets.

For those too young to remember the term “postal,” this term evolved out of a string of post office shootings that started in the USA in 1970. I’m including the list of these “postal” events so that readers know how long so-called “random acts of violence” have been happening in the USA, and where it all started.

August 13, 1970, Los Angeles, California
March 22, 1975, Gadsden, Alabama
November 4, 1980, New Orleans
August 19, 1983, Johnston, South Carolina
December 2, 1983, Anniston, Alabama
March 6, 1985, Atlanta, Georgia
November 15, 1985, Manitou, Oklahoma
August 20, 1986, Edmond, Oklahoma
December 14, 1988, New Orleans, Louisiana
August 10, 1989, Escondido, California
October 10, 1991, Wayne, New Jersey
November 14, 1991, Royal Oak, Michigan
May 6, 1993, Dearborn, Michigan
May 6, 1993, Dana Point, California
May 4, 1994, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
March 21, 1995, Montclair, New Jersey
July 10, 1995, City of Industry, California
December 19, 1996, Las Vegas, Nevada
September 2, 1997, Miami Beach, Florida
December 20, 1997, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
January 30, 2006, Goleta, California
April 4, 2006, Baker City, Oregon
November 28, 2006, San Francisco, California
December 23, 2017, Dublin, Ohio
October 12, 2021, Memphis, Tennessee
October 20, 2022, Chattanooga, Tennessee

Now, that’s 26 “postal” events between August 13, 1970, and October 20, 2022. There are a few things to take note of from the above list of “postal” shootings, including the use of the term “going postal” for alleged “random acts” in public places, which now happen in shopping malls, city streets, concert venues and yes, schools.

If you take the time to study these “postal” events, the first thing you will notice is, none of the acts were “random.” In every case, the event was the result of some unresolved conflict or grievance, involving people who knew each other.

The next thing you will notice is one event tends to lead to another, copycat events. In each case, the target was “defenseless.” Last, you will notice that events like this tend to happen not in the most “well-armed” places, but instead, in states with the most stringent “anti-gun” laws on the books, like California.

Four Takeaways

Mass shootings are almost never “random”
Always the result of unresolved conflicts or grievances
The victims are always “defenseless”
They happen most often in “gun free zones” with heavy anti-gun laws in place

School Shootings

In studying the recent trend of school shootings in particular, reportedly, the first in American history took place at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, in Columbine, Colorado, during the Clinton Administration, killing twelve students and one teacher, and injuring twenty-one more. This event was reportedly the first of its kind in the USA, but it wouldn’t be the last.

Similar to the “postal events,” Columbine was not a “random act.” The shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, were students at Columbine and they knew their victims. Their victims knew them.

According to official investigation reports, these two young men had planned the event at Columbine for over a year, originally designed to be a bomb detonation, followed by gun fire as students tried to escape. But the bomb they created didn’t detonate, and the rest is history.

Twenty-five years later, investigators claim that “the motivation is still unknown.” Sound familiar, like the assassination of JFK and his brother Robert, or the attempt on President Reagan, or Trump less than two-months ago, or every other “school shooting” that investigators just can’t figure out? Why do you think they never seem to figure out or report the motive of the assassins? More on this later…

More Critical History

Actually, Columbine wasn’t the first “school massacre” in US history. The first took place on

July 26, 1764, known as the Enoch Brown school massacre. Four Lenape Native Americans entered the school and shot the teacher, Enoch Brown. Brown was then scalped, while 10 other students were beaten to death with clubs and also scalped. The shooting of Brown marks the first instance of a school shooting in the Colonial States and in North America.

Many “school massacre” events have happened since, and I do mean many. (Resource)

So, those who think these events are something brand new, the result of “assault weapons” that didn’t even exist for most of these events that have happened since before the Founding of the United States, simply don’t know their facts, or choose to ignore them.

Critical Takeaways from History

If someone is intent upon killing, they will find a way
The “weapon” is only incidental to the subject, it’s not a cause
It’s almost never “random”
Most are the result of unresolved conflicts or grievances
The target is almost always defenseless (unarmed)
In fact, the defenseless is always the target
Gun laws create “defenseless victims” not lawful criminals
The true motive is usually quite obvious
Laws don’t create lawful behavior, they at best punish criminal acts
When seconds count, law enforcement is only minutes away

Now, these are all proven facts, and facts are funny things…they don’t care if you like them or not. We can only choose to ignore them or learn from them. We can’t change them or invent our own facts, otherwise known as mere opinions.

The Most Important Question of All

Why are kids killing kids, no matter their choice of weapon, or target?

On careful research, thought and consideration, I submit the following and yes, it’s just my opinion, however, my opinion is based upon the known facts.

A general disregard for the value of human life

Kids that kill kids see no value in the lives of their victims, or themselves. Like the mass-shooting trends that escalated from the 1970s, so did the societal acceptance of “murder for convenience” in the form of “abortion,” wherein mothers take the lives of their own innocent and defenseless children for mere convenience. Did you really think this practice would not result in a growing lack of regard for human life?

According to official reports, just in 2023 alone 32 innocent lives were taken in school shootings. While tragic in every case, it’s impossible to compare this problem to the 1,037,000 innocent young lives taken by abortion in 2023, an increase from 2022, despite the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. While Marxist democrats pretend to care about the 32 deaths in school shootings, they protect the killing of over a million innocent children every year for decades, then wonder why human life is so easily discarded.

A Failure to provide peaceful resolutions to conflicts and grievances

When I grew up, kids got in fist fights all the time. Despite most kids having guns in their trucks or cars in the school parking lot, for hunting purposes before or after school, no one ever shot anyone. That’s because disputes, conflicts and grievances between students were quickly and safely resolved by proper adult supervision, or a fist fight. Nothing was left to fester until it became a matter of life and death.

The motive is almost always quite obvious

The target usually exposes the motive. In the cases of JFK, RFK, Reagan, Trump, even Martin Luther King and Malcom X, the targets are all political public figures. They are all individuals targeted for their political views and positions, at public gatherings. Therefore, the motive in each case was “political,” plain and simple…a means of eliminating a political opponent.

In the case of the “postal” shootings, the motive was more personal in nature, a work-related or personal grievance. Therefore, the motive was either a work-related or personal conflict left unresolved until someone took matters into their own hands.

As it pertains to school shootings, the shooters almost always have a history with the victims, a string of unresolved conflicts never settled. The motive in these cases is most often “vengeance” for past conflicts. It’s made possible and even likely, by a general lack of respect for human life to include their own, poor parenting at home…often broken homes, unprofessional adult supervision in the schools, and a general sense of no hope for the future.

Focus on the wrong things

How someone is killed is far less important than why someone is killed. Someone intent upon killing will find a place, time and means to do so. Right now, as I write, innocent people in the UK are being killed with knives. In Aurora Colorado, innocent people are being run from their family homes with machetes, knives and clubs. The choice of weapon is irrelevant. People who intend to do harm will do harm, almost always in places where their victims are defenseless.

Defenseless people make perfect victims

Trying to infringe upon the Constitutionally Protected Rights of all legal law-abiding citizens is an overt effort to create more “defenseless” victims, while allowing illegal aliens, terrorists, gang-members, rapists, looters, arsonists, and convicts of violent crimes back on the streets, is the absolute wrong solution to an increasingly serious problem in America. Frankly, it amounts to acts of treason against the lawful American people.

No Police State

Turning our free republic into a police state isn’t the solution either. Every school in the USA has a police presence now and not even once has that prevented a school shooting from happening. At best, it may have reduced the number dead or injured, but every single life counts. What next, a militarized zone on every school campus across the country?

I have a very simple philosophy on matters like this. If you don’t allow terrorists to live among you, there will be no terrorism in your area. If you keep known thugs, gang-members, thieves, arsonists, murderers and looters off the streets, there won’t be any crime. And if you provide appropriate methods to resolve conflicts between students on the campuses, no one will feel the need to kill others to solve their problem.

The dumbing-down and drugging up of whole generations

It’s now a known fact that public education in the United States has grossly failed whole generations for years now. More often than not, public education is graduating k-12 students that can’t even read, write, or do basic math correctly, much less enter the world with a full knowledge of how to succeed in a free society under their own ambitions. Making matters even worse is the political movement to legalize illicit drugs and allow deadly mind-bending drugs to cross into our country, rendering whole generations incapable of freedom and liberty.

And YES, if you stop supporting and voting for political policies that overtly devalue human life, people may gain respect for human life again.

Stop using the fact that our kids are killing kids as a political tool to infringe upon the Rights of legal law-abiding citizens and start dealing with the reason kids seek to kill in the first place.

There is no other solution!
