They ought to call it how to catch a lawsuit for filing a false police report or harrasment.

I fit pretty much all of their criteria for potential school shooters--I was, for the most part, a loner, and I was picked on every now and then. But that doesn't mean I'm going to walk into school one day with a loaded gun and start shooting everybody in sight. I'm not that insane. :roll:

Yeah, they should lock up the victims of bullies, before they do something! That'll teach them to be bullied.

I fit all the criteria except the interest in violence. I abhor violence.

It doesn't say how I should stop them. Would tying their shoe laces together work?

Most "average guys" I know are into violent video games, but I don't know anyone who's gone on a gun rampage.

I ate lunch alone yesterday, then came home and shot robots in the new Transformers game. I'm dangerous.

According to this logic, I should be a psycho killer by now.
Haven't killed anyone yet.

He killed 32 students and then himself, I feel sorry for his parents though and what they went through when this tragic moment happened.

That doesn't say anything about people with AS.

Obsession with violence is not in the diagnostic criteria for AS, nor is threatening people.


It is however, ludicrous to suggest that the victims of bullying should be singled out and further ostracized for having been bullied, rather than extended the hand of kindness and offered help and refuge. Perhaps this guy wouldn't have become violent if someone had actually befriended him. I know he was seen by a therapist, but that's not the same.

I always thought social people wer the dangerous ones. Gangs, the mafia, theorist groups, protest groups that get violent, religious hypocrites that molest kids, crooked politicians who wage pointless wars, major corporations who leak oil in the golf.
When a loner become dangerous; it is usually because he/she is retaliating against bulling, abuse or other injustice that was done to em by others/sometimes groups of people so in a way the individual is not the root-cause.

This is just a generalization. They noticed this pattern in school shooters. Now are they going to harass anyone now who meets that criteria?

That is still very wrong. I was bullied in school & I was fantasizing about violence & I made more than a few jokes about the Columbine shorting & I of coarse was a loner. I never 1ce hurt anyone psychically sense like 6th grade & those times wer self-defense but I could barely bring myself to use force to fight back. The fantasizing was a coping thing for me because of the bullying groups. If I was not being harassed; I would NOT of been having those fantasies. The more I got ostracized; the more I fantasied so I think singling someone out because they are a victim & treading em like they are dangerous; will only make that person more dangerous. The more people acted like I was dangerous; the more I felt like becoming dangerous.

BTW I QUIT having those fantasies least 7 years ago before I had a mental break-down & I did NOT have any of those fantasies during that time. The only person I harmed was myself & I ended up doing that because I was having lots of problems with being alone & feeling like a loser & I had no one to turn to because I had freaked everyone out before.
