Texas high school shooting

Sounds like 8-10 already dead. They've found explosives, too. The assumption is that it's a white dude, I guess? I'm not seeing any reports about what kind of gun it was.

I saw reports that people had found his Facebook page before it was deleted. White...or white/ hispanic dude with a Slavic sounding name.
He had a pic of a military looking coat with communist, nazi, fundi Christian, and Pagan patches. Also bisexual pride pins. Also was a football player at the school. Seems like an Edgelord

Never thought I'd fondly look back on the days when "dark and edgy" meant telling someone you didn't mourn your dead grandmother enough.

Seems like he was using them as totems of virtue.
Like the Nazi cross was strength or something. He had a whole list about what it meant to him. I didn’t save the list from my original source.

Sounds like... he is Greek?
Nothing released yet about what gun was used but I'm guessing it had to be a handgun since it sounds like... he just kind of got up and started shooting in art class? Hard to conceal an AR-15 in your backpack.

Using snorting condoms as one of the measurements as "that generation is broken y'all" might not be the best idea, cause I remember vividly that being a thing among teens as a child and when I was a teen myself. And each generation have several things they did that was dumb, it's just more oscure for the willfully ignorant when it's not so readily available on the internet compared to the previous 2-3 gens.
My dad's gen was all over that nunchaku Bruce Lee trend, and Rambo knives was the ****. There's a reason why nunchaku are illegal in several countries. |

Yeah, people have been doing stupid and dangerous trends for a while now.
Young people are always gonna dumb no matter the decade, but the modern age has created some new edges to it because of social media. (Ha, TMNT is on the BadFads site under the "collectibles" category)

It's almost like people forgot exactly how popular jackass was for Gen xers.

Jackass was great, I'm pretty sure it's more of a millenial thing though even if the Jackass guys were likely Gen Xers.

Never cared much for Jackass tbh. It just wasn't my thing, I guess.
But I still liked some other "stupid" things such as Kenny vs. Spenny and the American Pie movies. |
