  1. And it never ends. Another potential mass killer in the United States. Charge him with making threats and terrorism .

  2. Good. Now do this all the time

  3. The media need to stop posting their photos and give them their 15 minutes of fame. 🤦‍♂️

  4. Ooh Nothing's new just another very angry Incel. Let me guess that he was just having a bad day! 🤔

  5. For the family trying to justify this is not okay.

  6. Why schools why not the nra go and do your slime there why schools

  7. Why this people only target the weak? Why this people don't think of people like support Gun? Like NRA and GOP.

  8. They are getting threats kind of like the one their son made?

  9. That’s a hard looking 18. Yikes.

  10. The mother of this teen clearly does not think it is big deal. You can hear it from her voice. She should be thanking the law enforcement and think about why does her son think it is good idea to do this and where her parenting went wrong. If every law enforcements do this and be tough on this issue, a lot of these tragedies could be prevented.

  11. Yeah, I think republicans will act shook that they won’t be having their cake and eating too. VOTE.

  12. Well gee, any shooting like this and the media drools and pushes 24-7 coverage for weeks on end, immortalizing the killer. Countless individuals who have been caught planning such actions have stated they wanted to become infamous. You're not helping, media.

  13. ENOUGH KILLING IN SCHOOLS

  14. THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO GETTING THEM OFF THE STREET PRONTO 👍🙄

  15. Florida you are violating his god given constitutional right to the 1st and 2nd amendment.
    plus, like Republicans say, a good guy with a gun will protect you from a bad guy with a gun. 😁

  16. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Congratulations 🎊 👏🏽 It's a felony!

  17. This kid looks like a criminal in the making

  18. Unfortunately, there are two schools of thought here. There's the "cops overreacted" camp, which includes the "it was only a joke" idiocy. Then there's if he DID light up a school, there's the "why didn't you do something" camp.

  19. Dumb kid being dumb. But I don’t think anyone should be threatening the family. He’ll probably face jailtime for this prank already.

  20. This wasn’t a mistake he posted that online. Look at him, that’s all you need to know that it’s only a matter of time. You can read it in his eyes.

  21. This is how you know he just needs some attention in his life, the real ones just do it and shut up about it

  22. Corey Anderson: Hey Siri, directions to the nearest prison. lol

  23. See laws can help save lives. Now if we can convince the Texas idiots to follow suit.

  24. what a moron, serves him right to get arrested lol

  25. But, he looks so intelligent…

  26. I wonder how much the Democrats pay all these school shooters 🤔

  27. Another evil come again? ohh come on.

  28. Republicans are responsible for this epidemic of guns.

  29. Mom: No comment, were getting threats now its very scary.
    Son: threatens the lives of a whole school and staff.

  30. Oh yeah he’s a loser. Wasn’t he on 5th Element 🤣😂🤣😂

  31. Social media still doesn’t block these posts, but good job on catching this guy right away. He goes into a mental hospital and not for 72 hrs and either

  32. Thats how it should be done. Report such incidents/behaviors to law enforcement and let them investigate and arrest the possibly would-be suspect before it is too late.

  33. Call Lady you think it's very scary huh I'm guessing you're talking about yourself do what about all the kids in the school and all the parents I'm pretty sure they're more scared

  34. we need the ability to baker act kids. Think about this. Arrested, well there's a 10 year old in Florida that that has happened too and just imagine what his family is going through. They Do NOT get psych help in jail. That one kid had his parents in the principals office and they should of been given a choice, jail and all over the news OR a 3 day baker act hold for full evaluation which can be handled privately. HE apparently had been evaluated over 12 hours, HE then went to social media and bragged about how he just lied and they bought it. After three days, they gonna know. Pass that and you get to go back to school and a report on you goes to the school.
    BTW in Florida the Florida State Department of Education HAS NO contact what so ever with our State Government. They can not submit any ideas to them, talk to them, associate with them, they can't do squat. So now the question is WHO is educating your children. Heck, when the Gov built NASA they actually let the rocket scientists recommend and build the rockets.
    Kids are rockets. POLITICIANS DO NOT NEED TO BE RAISING YOUR KIDS. That's what the bloody Department of Education is for BASED on parental input. Tells me a lot about why nothing, NOTHING, gets done at school board meetings.
    So make some phone calls people. We either have a Department of Education or we Have Gov teach our kids. who do you wanna carry in your wallet?

  35. What a Sick woman 😠😠

  36. He looks like a Psyho with those cold empty eyes. Also, he is a very old looking 18 yr old!!!

  37. Maybe you should have raised your brat better…
