1. Pretty sure baseless speculation is not the correct response

[skip fox]

7. Correct for who?

[inthewind21]

10. For

anyone.

[skip fox]

15. For over seven decades people have tried to tell me what to say or to shut up.

They were mostly school teachers and cops.

Good luck.

17. I'm going to accuse shooting victims of being pedophiles with no proof

See if you can stop me!

[inthewind21]

19. Right

[ForgedCrank]

24. I don't

believe anyone tried to tell you to shut up. Someone simply pointed out that accusing murder victims of raping children, without any grounds whatsoever, may be inappropriate at this time.

12. Whom

[MineralMan]

18. Taking care with word choices is the first step to clear thinking.

Not much of that going on, it seems.

2. Wouldn't excuse a thing. nt

[MarineCombatEngineer]

3. Well, alrighty then.

[LonePirate]

4. Did she attend the school? That's a broad leap and it doesn't explain shooting the kids.

Maybe they were caught up in her poor aim and anger.

[inthewind21]

5. I would hope

That she wasn't in Elementary school at age 16. Which is how old she would have been a dozen years ago. 15 if you use a bakers dozen.

9. "over a dozen years ago"

[inthewind21]

14. Ok

So she was 14, in elementary school. "Over a dozen" could be anywhere from 12 - infinity. So since we are making wild speculations I speculate that there was a 16 year old in elementary school. It's just as plausible as your speculations. Just sayin.

[skip fox]

20. Fair enough.

But I wrote "over a dozen" to cover 6-13.

And I do cover other plausibilitiess like derangement or a current "beef" (like an affair ).

[inthewind21]

21. Well

6 is half a dozen. 7-11 are still under a dozen. Over a dozen is 12.1 - infinity.

[MineralMan]

23. What would be "fair enough" would be to post accurately.

That's what I think.

[Ocelot II]

6. That's quite a stretch, based on no evidence whatsoever.

There are many possible reasons, and pointless, fact-free speculation is not helpful.

[Texasgal]

8. Very creative speculation

you've got there.

[lapfog_1]

11. I don't believe that the reaction to being raped 20 years ago

would be to return the school and murder children.

But I'm not a psychologist.

We should wait until there is more information about the shooter.

[MineralMan]

13. Convent School? You made that mistake twice in your post.

No, that's not it. It was Covenant School. There is a difference between those two words. An important difference. Look up the two words.

Please try to be more careful with what you write. Thank you.

[inthewind21]

16. Indeed

[Effete Snob]

22. A "former student" could also be a present parent

But people fixate on lots of things for lots of reasons. Guessing is probably unhelpful.

25. The school is operated by Covenant Presbyterian Church.

The Presbyterian Church is one of the more liberal Protestant denominations. They are not Bible-banging evangelicals; they support LGBTQ relationships, including the ordination of gay clergy and same-sex marriage. They are not anti-abortion and leave the issue to personal conscience. They also support gun control. https://www.presbyterianmission.org/what-we-believe/social-issues/ Maybe it would be helpful to find out more about the school and its sponsor before assuming it to be a nest of pedophiles.
