Warped mass murderer Salvador Ramos was a failing high school loner with an 'aggressive streak', who was bullied for being poor and mocked for wearing eyeliner.That is how former classmates and colleagues have described the killer, 18, who slaughtered at least 19 innocent children in the second deadliest school shooting in American history in Uvdale, Texas on Tuesday, before being shot dead in a shootout with a border patrol officer. Described by one pupil as an 'emo', his lisp also made him a target, according to the Washington Post, with classmates claiming he endured gay slurs. Another said he was mocked for his clothing.

And so it begins…rationalization of the impossible. The kid was bullied therefore he snapped. Many kids are bullied for one reason or another and never resort to this kind of behavior. Ultimately, it was an angry kid wanting revenge and taking his rage out on innocent little children and his own grandmother. There is no excuse for this. No amount of bullying explains this tragedy. It is a cold hearted decision made by someone who didn’t give one moment’s thought to the lives he was taking and families he was destroying. Understand that evil exists and you will understand the why of this horrific act. What decent human being can hold a firearm and point it at small innocent children and pull the trigger? Only someone who is evil can do something like that. Those innocent babies were sitting sucks for this twisted kid. He got what he deserved, but the victims did not.

I'm already calling partial BS. I went to sixteen different schools before graduation, all over the country. I saw kids bullied for a lot of reasons and I was bullied myself. They were bullied for being fat, for having funny names, for being nerdy, for having too much acne, for being clumsy, for being white, for having an accent, for wearing ill fitting clothes, and almost anything else you can name. One thing I never saw was being bullied for being poor.
And yes, I still would love to see those who made my life Hell killed after long torture. Turns out karma has done that for me. Those who are still alive have been to prison, multiple divorces, kids that hate them, no job, no retirement, etc.
More likely he was bullied for being a cross dressing freak.

Was he being bullied by third graders? They can look to cast blame in all kinds of places for all kinds of reasons. Bottom line line is the only person who controlled the shooter 's actions was the shooter! Not other people, not the guns, not his truck, not his clothes. He did it because he decided for whatever reason to kill kids and teachers. Cowards always take the path of least resistance.

How poor was he?
He had money to acquire guns.
He was driving a fairly recent Ford Fx50 pick up truck.
He lived in a house.
He had a cell phone.
But he apparently did not have a father. Or a mother.
If he didn't have those guns, he would have run over them in the truck. He was a psycho. His peers probably recognized that there was something wrong with the guy, but political correctness has been taught to the point the kids lost trust in basic instincts. The younger kids immediately recognized a killer when they saw him and were trying to call 911.
Rather than change gun laws, probably should look at changing No Child Left Behind kind of laws that insist on putting mentally ill kids in classrooms and changing HIPPA laws so these people can be reported for the public good. That way their names are on record when the background check is run for gun purchases.

No mention of a father. Dads helps boys deal with things. They typically don’t show them how to apply eye liner.

Eyeliner? What will they tell us next--that he was bullied because he was trans?

Isn't it odd that the most likely reasons for this horror are completely ignored by politicians and the media? No mention of mental health. No mention of drugs. Instead, they are busy interrogating old friends about possible long-ago bullying.
They have their gun issue. But they want to tie in identity politics as well. Skin color won't work here, so being bullied for being poor or gay is another option. No way will they admit that this incomprehensible event was caused by a profoundly disturbed teenager in a very sick society who slipped through the cracks of a failed system. Nope. Why is that?

Poor baby! Is there a kid who made it through youth without bullies? Feminization of men is teaching them to run home to mommy instead of giving the bully a fat lip! Our country is in need of strong men of God! Not this coward! He goes after unarmed 4th graders who could not fight ba$°

If he’s poor, how did he have a new $75k Ram pickup and $5k worth of rifles?
Gee, could he be involved in smuggling?

The reason they "fall through the cracks" is the evil and incompetent FBI and BATF have a goal to disarm all Americans. These nutjobs always turn up when democrats are trying to deflect from issues like out of control inflation, illegal immigration, food shortages and economy tanking.

#8 there’s photos of him in woman’s clothing, fake boobs and holding a trans flag. Yes, I think they will pin this on white supremacy and Christians especially if his grandmother is Catholic. The narrative will be his Catholic grandmother didn’t tolerate or respect his pronouns and lifestyle choice. The irony is Mexicans are like the black community when it comes to LGBTLMAO in that they don’t tolerate it.

He sounds like an old-style Communist infiltrator.
Where did he get his money? It wasn't from Wendy's. Why did he decide on this target? He had no connection to it. If bullying was in his past and his move to Texas moved him away from it, what set him off?
I think Liberals. Social media telling him he shouldn't put up with slurs. School psychologists encouraging aberrant behavior, yet telling him to hide it from his guardians. Perhaps even the FBI needing another false flag.

He comes for a "poor" family but has a car and can afford to buy guns. Explain this to me someone.

Biden said it's time to stand up to the gun lobby. I say it's time to stand up to the mamby pamby snowflake lobby that won't let us defend our most vulnerable darling children by having trained armed staff on site to drop any threat dead in its tracks. My dad was a high school teacher. Prior to that he was in the Army. He was promoted on the spot in the Army during rifle qualification and became a rifle instructor. He taught hand to hand combat after the Army he became a cop to augment the teaching thing, weekends holidays and summers he was the state champion on pistol shooting. Wouldn't you want someone like that armed in the classroom?
We not only need to arm those with proven skills, we need to intentionally hire teachers and staff with the background to protect our children and let them do it.
The only reason we don't is because school shootings serve the purpose of disarming the citizenry as a precursor to surrendering the last vestiges of individual liberty and the surrender to global communism. Its they and their useful idiots who bear the responsibility not me not you or any other patriot..

A poor person can’t afford body armor, a long gun and a pistol. And what about the pickup? Was that his? Something doesn’t add up. And if he was being bullied, why pick on 6, 7, and 8 year olds? Why not the ones who bullied him?

What a crock of dung. The school he shot up was 80% Hispanic. I'm pretty sure the high school he attended was about the same. It's a small town, and I don't think anyone in that town is rich by any standard. There are of course some families that are better off than others, but the majority were probably working class. So where did he get the cash to buy these guns, and that pickup he drove even if used must have cost quite a bit.

The smart money is on this monster being a member of the "confused mob" (aka LGBTQIAXYZ) with serious mental health issues, access to a probably illegal gun, and so he decided to murder his granny and a bunch of innocent kids. So we still get back to the same place, he was a monster who is 100% responsible for his own actions.
99% of people with mental health issues don't shoot up schools.
99% of guns are never used to shoot a human being.
And monsters are real and should be weeded out and eradicated.

I’m pretty sure it’s not ok to ask this, but why was the school open? My grandchildren’s elementary school has doors that lock automatically and you need a code, or to be buzzed in, to enter. You can get out but not in. In this day and age of Obama-inspired/facilitated mass shootings, that’s the least protection schools should have. Going the next step to train and arm teachers would be even better. Or, do the masterminds behind these shootings research schools where our children are left like sitting ducks?

Another stupid anger filled hate filled kid mad at the world because his lifestyle choices did not work.
He didn't use his brain and he ends up working at a Wendy's. His life had no positive outlook.
He experimented with the LGBTQ lifestyle, and guessing he was met with massive rejection by his peers and his family. Guess the LGBTQ community doesn't want to mention that.
Sorry he made some bad choices, but that's on him. He ends up mad at the world and that's when the evil sets in. If he used his brain he would have recognized what a pointless useless direction he had gone in being filled with hate.
Again this is all on him.

It is being reported that the perpetrator of the Texas school shooting was an 18 year old high school dropout who was unemployed or worked in a Wendy’s fast food restaurant. The question should be how did such an18 year old come up with the at least five thousand dollars to purchase two very expensive semi automatic rifles, a semi automatic handgun, the expensive accessories like magazines for those firearms, and several hundred rounds of ammunition?
Two things that stand out here that government at all levels should address to stop school shootings. The first is physical security at the schools to keep intending school shooters out of the schools bolstered by armed personnel in the schools consisting of retired law enforcement officers and other especially trained personnel, and the second being the availability of mental health services and secure facilities to house the dangerous mentally ill people who are committing so much serious and violent crime throughout the USA these days. Who could be against government taking those logical steps? Clearly it is the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats who try to politicize those rare events usually by bringing up non germane racial issues as their bogus excuse.

A contribution for #5, "Households in Uvalde, TX have a median annual income of $41,713, which is less than the median annual income of $65,712 across the entire United States. "
(BTW, the area that Uvalde is in has been a Spanish-speaking area since it was part of the Spanish Empire; that would be pre-1821. shooter (and his victims') family has probably living in that area since before Texas broke off from Mexico, pre-1836, and possibly before the English colonies broke off from England, pre-1775. The town itself dates from 1853.
Let's not make "illegal alien" comments (which I've seen elsewhere) without some direct proof.)

And so because he was "picked on", if this is even true, that means the right answer is murdering OTHER KIDS who had nothing at all to do with it?
No, this is a violent punk who just wanted an excuse to hurt people, and who selected NOT people who he felt had wronged him, but the most innocent, unoffending children who had nothing at all to do with his situation.
Where did he get a couple of expensive rifles with very expensive optics. The holographic optical sight on one rifle costs about $600 by itself. A couple of thousand dollars at least for the two. And there are reports that he had a truck that cost about the same as my Porsche. I see drug dealing as the only way a kid like this gets money like that.

Like #12, I went to about 14 or 15 schools before I graduated HS. I was very often "the new kid", which makes you the target of bullies at times. By the seventh grade I had learned that you walk right up to them a hit them hard in the face as fast as you can, and they'll stop bothering you. I only had to do that twice, in 7th and 9th grades, and had a few trips to the office for fighting on the bus in HS.
I had access to my OWN handgun and rifles from age 14, and used them to shoot targets, squirrels, rabbits and armadillos to eat. Never even considered shooting any of these bullies. A punch was as far as it went.
Bullying is not a valid excuse. It has happened to lots of folks, and will continue to happen forever.
Again, what about anti-depressant drugs or other street drugs? I bet this guy was selling drugs to finance his guns and his truck, and taking them, likely .

Another mentally deranged suicide by cop case. Well besides murdering 21 innocent adults and children, the deranged perpetrator got the President of the USA to talk about his crimes, and politicize his crimes by essentially blaming the over one hundred million law abiding Americans who do own guns and did not murder anyone, by calling them “a lobby” who actually use their voices to support their rights in accordance with the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.

If he was bullied, the school administrators failed. My nephew was nearly beaten to death at the school door by Asian teens who mistook him for another white boy who asked their sister/cousin out. Culture class about family honour. He saw the female teachers viewing the scene from the windows above. They did nothing. Another white girl threw herself over his body to stop the onslaught. Take your kids out of public schools. That is what the government wants anyway.
