There is so much wrong with this video's attempt at addressing an issue that desperately needs to be addressed but this is just the wrong way to go about it.
You know what I see?
About 15 examples of "normal" teen behaviour, one bad photo and description and one incident of bullying they decided to film. And they try and string this narrative that this guy was a massive danger because he followed gun culture.
I mean seriously I live in a country with absolutely 0 guns and even I can see through the bullshit politics they're stacking against gun culture in this video.
What would they have done if he had been a chemistry geek and decided to somehow find a way to poison the entire school?
Would everyone in the chem class now be suspect of sideways glances and assumed to be a bad guy for reading texts on the "bad sides" of chemistry?
Yeah, the mis-use of a firearm in these shootings is awful and there needs to be some sort of reform on the whole issue, but this is not the way to go about it.
You need to address bullying, mental health, social interactions and general kid behaviour before you even get to guns. Because the method doesn't matter it's the intent, and the intent can only be fixed in the mind, and if can only be cured there.
And bigger discussion about it I'm gonna do in the debate thread if it sparks up, but TL;DR, this is a crap and stupid video and I feel sorry for any fool taken away with the "twist". Good intent, bad execution.
Oh and my temperature is; 8C, 46F, mostly rainy and cloudy as all fuck. I'd kill for snow to change up the monotony of it all.
