In light of recent events, I decided to reread the National Threat Assessment Center's (NTAC) 2019 report, Protecting America’s Schools: A U.S. Secret Service Analysis of Targeted School Violence. This was a comprehensive analysis of 41 incidents of targeted school violence at K-12 schools from 2008 to 2017.
Full report here.
You don't need a dozen Ph.D.s to tell you what ought to be common sense to every blackpilled person yet is denied by delusional normalfags: that those who commit violence in schools, or plan to, tend to be victims of bullying.
Most of the attackers were bullied by their classmates, and for over half of the attackers the bullying appeared to be of a persistent pattern which lasted for weeks, months, or years. It is critical that schools implement comprehensive programs designed to promote safe and positive school climates, where students feel empowered to report bullying when they witness it or are victims of it, and where school officials and other authorities act to intervene.
Of the 41 attackers highlighted in the 2019 report, there was insufficient bullying data for 6; of the remaining 35, 28 (80%) of them were victims of bullying.
Verbal bullying was the most commonplace (74%), examples of which included, but are not limited to, "threats, crude gestures, name-calling, teasing, taunting, and suggestions that [the subject] kill themselves".
So was physical bullying (40%), examples of which included, but are not limited to, "hitting, kicking, tripping, pinching, pushing, threatening or menacing gestures, and nonconsensual sexual contact".
Some attackers were victims of multiple forms of bullying. From the report:
VERBAL, PHYSICAL, AND PROPERTY BULLYING: A 12-year-old student fatally shot one teacher and wounded two classmates before killing himself. The attacker had been teased and called names by his middle school classmates, including “gay,” “lazy,” “stupid,” and an “idiot.” Classmates had poured water down his pants and then said the attacker had wet himself. In other instances, the attacker had his pants pulled down by classmates, was tripped in the hall, and had money stolen from him. The attacker referenced some of these incidents in one of the suicide notes he left, which was addressed to classmates and teachers.
Most notably, in many of these cases, adults were aware of the bullying. Of the 28 cases where bullying was confirmed, adults knew about the bullying in over half the cases. In most of the remaining cases, classmates witnessed, but the adults were not aware of, the bullying. In several cases, school officials who knew about the bullying did nothing, or almost nothing, to prevent further incidents.
37% of the attackers highlighted in the 2019 report were bullies themselves, but almost all of them were also victims of bullying. That's right; "bullying" and "victim of bullying" are not mutually exclusive designations.
Blackpilled Takeaways
It's incredibly easy to see why a child who was a victim of bullying would resort to violence. If neither their classmates nor the adults in their life choose to give a fuck about the bullying, well, they're kind of powerless. Children do not have access to the nonviolent dispute resolution tools that adults do: namely litigation. Nor do children have the ability to independently remove themselves from an abusive situation: an adult can remove themselves from an abusive workplace, and probably can do the same for an abusive relationship. But bullied children are mandated by the adults around them to stay in their abusive setting.
So if a bullying victim brings a knife or a gun to school, I consider it just another example of vigilantism. A school shooting, in my view, is simply one of many different types of dispute resolution methods involving the use of force (or threat thereof) not sanctioned or conducted by the state or a state actor. I don't particularly like vigilantism because I strongly believe in a fair and independent judiciary and the rule of law; but as mentioned, children have very little access to the courts.
Oddly, normies praise vigilante violence all the time. A child pornographer drops the soap in a high-security prison. A battered wife kills her abusive husband. A rape victim's father lunges towards the rapist during a court proceeding. In these situations, normalfags praise, or at the very least minimize, violence not conducted or sanctioned by a state actor because they believe that "the system" and its procedural justice failed to fulfill substantive justice.
So it's incredibly puzzling as to why normalfags apply their arbitrarily selective empathy. Surely if an adult woman who poisons her partner can cite as a mitigating factor her distress from being "trapped" in an abusive relationship, then a skinny 15-year-old geek who brings a handgun to class can cite as a mitigating factor the bullying he suffered for years from the jocks? Some food for thought.
Anyway, I am human, and so I can't help but empathize with the Rt Hon. Ethan Crumbley's sense of satisfaction from knowing that his Chad bully died bleeding all over the back of a patrol car. Can you imagine the pain and the fear Chad must have felt trying to hold together the pieces of his facial bones that were shattered so violently by a 9mm bullet, while slowly fading away from the light? It was probably terrible. But the blame lies not with the Rt Hon. Ethan Crumbley, but also with Chad himself and the adults who did absolutely nothing to intervene at a far earlier stage.
