Why not BOTH?

I think these kids that go off on these shooting rampages at school have some deep issues as it is, and I know a lot of them have been bullied by the other kids, and it's just adding fuel to the fire!
I don't think they have any right to kill anyone, and for the ones who haven't taken their own lives after their rampage, they need to be punished for their crime, but people need to understand that bullying is a big deal, and teachers, parents and principles need to take it more seriously. Kids can be wonderful, and they can also be mean, and it's like they seem to be getting meaner and meaner at younger ages! My son was in first grade last year, FIRST GRADE....SIX YEAR OLD! and there was a little boy in his class that was suspended for being a bully! I was shocked. I mean how does a kid even get that mean in six short years? But this child was beating the crap out of other children, spitting on them, calling them names and making it impossible for the teacher to even teach. So seriously, if a child is that mean at 6, what will they be like at 16! I would think it would become worse, and they'll continue to make life hell for others.

Anyone who intentionally takes the life of another person is a killer. I don't buy the story oh he's only 15 and didn't know any better. That's bull. When I was 15 I certainly knew it wasn't right to point a gun at someone and pull the trigger.

They may be victims, but first and foremost they are killers. Not to mention selfish, narrow-minded, ignorant terrorists.
Who here in this site has been a victim? Of really cruel stuff? Most of us. Who turned the other cheek or sought other means to solve our issues? Most of us.
I'm not a fan of pity parties for killers.

you know what? it's obvious that you've been victimized, because you answered a question about cutting and said you were sexually abused by your stepfather. sexual abuse is the worst (I know this firsthand, like you, and have been a cutter, like you) and can really f*** a person up. clearly, you have a lot of rage inside of you, and justifiably so. it seems like you really want someone to recognize this fact by the school shooting questions you keep posting.
that said, you need to really think about where you're heading. you are not without choices and life can and will get better if you choose it to be. hurting other people (like your classmates) is not going to fix anything in you, and even if you've been hurt by other kids, I would remind you that you don't know everything about everyone else's experiences any more than they know everything about yours. it took me a long time to realize that I was exactly the same as the people I hated when I lumped them all together as being tools. some of the people you want to hurt are hurting just like you, or numb to their own pain, just like you.
at the risk of sounding very cliched, slow down and ask for help. if people are giving you sh**, it's because they feel threatened by you and don't know how to react, and this includes adults.
trust me that there will be someone who will care about what you're going through--all of it, even the ugliest stuff--if you really step out and ask for help. ask as many times as it takes until someone hears you. please don't ruin your life before it even gets started, ok?

I'd say killers. I mean, Schools do have counselors for kids to go talk to about their problems or issues. You are always hearing of these kids with the "Whoa is me" outlook on life The help is out there.....go seek it.

They are murderers and mentally ill but regardless need to pay for thier crimes. Their parents should be put in jail too and then perhaps people would take responsibility for the children they bring into this world.

KILLERS!!! The "unfortunate victims of cruelty" are the other students they shoot.

If it was pre-meditated and they did it, they should be tried as adults.
