This sure ticks all the boxes

The teen's social media pages indicate that he is an avid guitar player, youth theater actor and registered Democrat who has on occasion expressed disdain for Christians, criticized President Donald Trump and praised former President Barack Obama.

In a post from 2014, Erickson wrote: 'You know what I hate? All these Christians who hate gays, yet in the bible, it says in Deuteronomy 17:12-13, if someone doesn’t do what their priest tells them to do, they are supposed to die. It has plenty of crazy stuff like that. But all they get out of it is "ewwwwww gays".'

In 2015 he shared a Facebook post by Occupy Democrats praising Obama, and in 2016 shared a video of TV host Seth Meyers criticizing Trump.

The Denver Channel reported that the second suspect, who is a minor, was in the process of transitioning from female to male.

Multiple sources told the outlet that the motive of the alleged shooters went beyond bullying and involved revenge and anger towards their classmates.

They said at least one of the suspects was involved in legal and illegal drug use and had been in therapy.

Oh good, so everyone gets to be completely sick of seeing this fowarded on social media in a week.

On the other hand, perhaps in these divided times we can take some comfort in knowing that, left or right, Americans be shooting kids.

Elliot's manifesto is full of really hilarious bits, like when he spent $700 on lottery tickets one week and didn't win, so he missed Spring Break to stay at home and sulk.

The weirdest thing about that was the media reported him as some kind of genius VIDEO POKER player that hit all these big jackpots. Totally ignorant to the fact that no one wins against video poker when they play for hours a day , everyday. The guy was just another hosed up gambling addict on some pretty hardcore prescription drugs with no real family and a mail order bride girlfriend.

That was pretty weird. There wasn't anything to the guy, just some shlub who killed a bunch of people because he was seemingly bored.

nobody wants to think they will die one day or about how or when . because it’s pretty much the most uncomfortable conversation to have. “It could never happen here “ is all we have .

But not the old "this was a case of an isolated mentally ill person committing a horrible act and this isn't the time for political agendas" standby.

More of a "this is what happens when the so-called 'tolerant' left decides it no longer wants to play by the rules. We must stop the liberal insanity." kind of thing.

At least for now it’s great to watch cops trying to identify the kid by one gender or another, with no idea what’s the right way to refer to a trans person.

As a Colorado resident I can guarantee this won’t persuade anyone to think differently about gun control. A girl showed up to shoot up columbine again a couple weeks ago, and since she JUST BARELY didn’t succeed, everyone just shrugged it off.

It’s not that no one cares. It’s that they don’t care as much as they care about their “don’t tread on me” mentality, despite basic gun control not really being in conflict with that idea.
