| One dead victim is one too many. And two dead victims is two too many etc. The number of people killed does matter. Both morally and in the amount of suffering it creates.

| A far-right party’s stunning win in Germany’s regional elections over the weekend highlights a deepening divide between the country’s east and west, analysts say, reflecting eastern Germans’ frustration over feeling overlooked and dismissed by their western compatriots. https://www.aljazeera.com/fea... |

| If he was bullied why didn't the FBI know that from their previous investigations on him? Because the FBI like the police can only monitor not act.

| He would fit in nicely with crowds who complained about Brown Vs Board of Education or Rowe Vs Wade. Except there's 75 million of them in 2024. People who are intolerant of the vulnerable are 100x more dangerous than so called woke folk. |

| Is he actually gay, and it's the father who didn't accept him? There's no proof of schoolmates calling him gay. It would really surprise me if homophobia was still a thing in school. It can be both. Reading all the articles its likely he was bullied (so he was quiet and kept to himself) and his fat... |

| Bullying needs to be taken more seriously in schools and on social media. As a society we not naturally inclusive to those we privately call "losers". I'm afraid parents pass these values onto their kids who act on it in school. I imagine the school will be forced to look at its anti-bully... |
