  I don't really know, but it is also being disputed.

  That is the article it came from. It's been taken down since I saw it first, but the link for the image is still there.

  Supposedly this is what was said with that pic when it was posted on Omegle(which is a chat like website)
  

  n 20 minutes from now, I’m going to storm my high school. I will be armed with a Magnum .44 Revolver, a Beretta 92FS and a pen-knife with 60 rounds of ammo and speedloaders for the .44 and 96 rounds in 8 clips for the 92FS. I’ll continue shooting at people until the police arrive, at which point I’ll commit suicide with the .44. Shouldn’t have bullied me so much.

  Reading now that the shooter, according to a parent of a kid who saw it all, was not randomly shooting. He was targeting certain "individuals."

  Yeah, I was reading more of the comments on that article. It was saying the police are now searching his residence.

  I think the reaction to bullying is getting out of hand. Bullying has always been around. Kids used to use their fists. Now they use guns.

  Pussification of America.
  
  This is ridiculous and sad though. That kid doesn't really strike me as a kid who'd be involved in a school shooting. Stupid kid.

  This.
  
  Everyone gets bullied at some point in their life. I understand it must suck for those that are bullied daily but gunning people down (or suicide) is absolutely absurd. Toughen up and kick their ass or realize that once you graduate high school you're not going to have to deal with it any more and just bide your time.

  It's getting out of hand on both sides, IMO

  And don't get me wrong, I hate bullying. I think it's cowardly. But there are better ways to handle it.

  Yeah, absolutely. Bullies deserve to get their asses kicked, hard. But they don't deserve to die.

  Just out of curiosity, did this school not have a police officer on staff? All our our HS and MS got one after Columbine.

  We only had police officers in the building on the anniversary of Columbine.

  I'm sure they do. Not really sure that it would have helped. Radio people said they have a pretty elaborate plan if something like this happened. Calls, texts, emails going out to parents of kids that were safely evacuated disclosing where they had been taken.
