Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is a myth. Many school shooters are actually also bullies.

Bullies who cry and bring a gun when someone hits them back.

So exactly like the US (also Russia)

There's this long standing myth going back to Columbine that school shooters are outcasts and weirdos and bully victims, but that was based on nothing. There's not really a school shooter "type".

They can be bullies, bullied, popular, outcasts, it doesn't really matter.

But statistically, overwhelmingly American

Facts. School shootings are a national pass time.
