He also went to that school, allegedly.

 I think religion had something to do with it too.  He had multiple anti-religion statements, Jesus on a shooting target etc. and targeted his own Catholic school.

 Also two of my cousins are literally being paid to make pro-trans anti-Trump posts in reaction to this.  They are making well over 100 posts a day.

He was a walking, talking poster boy for the far left. Anti-Christian, anti-Israel, exploring transgender, etc which means his story will disappear from main stream news quickly.

It’s a very disturbing diary to read. I read an in-depth book on the Columbine killers, and it was also disturbing. I sometimes prefer to think people like this are literally demon possessed. Makes it easier to accept.

Haven’t seen anything about his home life or upbringing, but not sure how much that matters. That could lead off to a long tangent about nature versus nurture. I tend to think nature is the foundation but nurture keeps serious outbursts in check for 99% of people.

But it is a serious topic for debate. Does the easy access to weapons makes those outbursts easier to manifest themselves with catastrophic results?

Clearly, I would have to say that answer is yes, but how to balance these very rare catastrophes with everyone else is freedom?

 This is pretty much American public debate on most things.  Would we have fewer automobile related deaths if we reduced access to automobiles?  Yes.

 The amateur argument to this would be how many used cars are out there, so limiting the incoming number would make no difference.  This ignores that newer faster vehicles kill more than used vehicles.  But it also outlines the problem of massive amounts of legally owned and operated vehicles.  So when does safety from automobile deaths start to infringe on US freedoms?

 There of course is the primary difference that automobiles typically require some sort of education to legally own and operate where gun ownership does not in many locations.  Also the level of Constitutional protections are significantly different.  The point however is yes, reducing automobile access will reduce automobile related deaths - but people will try to argue that using flimsy math instead of addressing useable solutions.

I'm sure I'll never meet them, but if i did, I'd hafta ask
How much money ?
I'm sure it's a fairly complicated scale, how many words,how Powerful is the argument, but Generally, just how lucrative is it?
How does someone even find out that opportunity exists? Who should a guyrl call?
That is the most surprising thing I've seen since the Rent-A-Mob revelations.

 Its a highly competitive field being won out by AI and bot-makers so the pay is broad.  I do not know what they make, but they take on many contracts per month and are not driving sports cars.

 It's lucrative enough to make a living in the US given you know how to use the tools.  Keeping up on AI, and social media accounts, managing bans and creating new accounts.

 This is nothing more than modern propaganda.  Used to be editors at newspapers, marketing teams, etc.  Now it's high school kids with phones.
