- A neighbor of the 18-year-old responsible for the fatal mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school said the man was bullied and known to argue with his grandmother, whom the gunman also shot on Tuesday.
An 8-year-old boy, a 10-year-old girl, and two teachers were among the 21 people killed. A responding Border Patrol agent shot and killed the gunman.
Investigators have said that the gunman shot his grandmother before going to the school. She remains in serious condition Wednesday afternoon.

As someone who got bullied when I was kid, I can tell you that I had many dangerous thoughts in my head. Bullying should be taken more seriously
How ya feeling now?
Your right. Certain interviews say he wasn’t bullied. But it looks like he was and that rejection turned into bitterness. Some parents either don’t know what’s happening or don’t care to know and it makes the kid feel very alone in the world.
Sorry to hear that, when I went to school I was bullied and getting my butt kicked by 4 to 5 kids at a time until my 4rd grade. Then after I leaned hand to hand combat with my Special Forces Uncle in the Summer. Then in my 4th grade I started to break arms and busting noses when those older kids tried to hurt me and my friends. It worked out very well, then when I hit JR High and High school and no one wanted to mess with me. I never teased anyone or disrespected other kids, I always protected the bulled. I would only hang out with my small group of close friends. The training I received from my uncle worked well after I served in the military. Back in those days you also had to learn how to prevent from getting stabbed in 7 to 12 grade schools or after school on a daily basis. A number of my School books were Stabbed (Teachers understood, they were always scared of the kids) and I only had a few cuts, but my friends and I survived. (Switch blades were being sold in our school areas)
Especially after watching Western movies.
@@gd8740 like the bullies are gonna come out and admit they were bulling him…his mother also abused him as a child….I pray that God has mercy on his soul…
This man sounds so honest and caring. What a horrible position he is in to know the shooters family and to have family there working at the school. You can see the pain in his eyes.
Some of what he said were news articles he read. He really should stick to only what he knows personally. I'm glad the reporter clarified that later in the interview.
I agree.
I don’t understand the whole part about the friends directly texting him when he said they made fun of him
@@yaaharriott Still unclear… not sure if teasing about 18yo’s lisp & clothes was from text messages published or shared directly with this neighbor by the shooter’s classmates.
I do not see any “pain”! What pain? The kid was a nut. Many more running around. Where was his GD parents ?
A former classmate said the gunman was not bullied, that he actually tried bullying others but was dismissed or ignored and this angered him. He also said the gunman tortured animals.
This👆
This isn’t true. Students already came out and said he was never bullied. He was a bully to others. He used to abuse animals
Bullying should always be treated seriously. The harm it can do to a young mind who can’t see around corners, thinks the abuse will never end, and sees no options to release the hurt and anger. I am in NO WAY condoning what he did. But I’m still not seeing school officials punishing bullies who abuse fellow students.
Exactly, school officials, politicians, and parents who allow their kids to bully, are all to blame!
@@evorider3689 an adult slaughtered children. That adult is to blame.
His parents failed him! Alot of us have gotten bullied but your parents need to step in when that happens by lifting you up and if needed take it up with the other kids parents. Or teach you how to defend yourself as well and not care what ppl think about but kids these days have to much access to the internet and do weird out of line shit and it also is not ok. That boy was being weird on purpose by cutting his face and his mom should of stepped in.
I agree with you. I dont live in the USA so ouer schollsystem are different.
But here they really dont do enough about bullying.
I was hit so bad as a child that I ones threw up in school and bullied every day for years. Sometimes the bullying went into the realm of sexuall harasment. Horribel for a Young girl. I developed anorexia and came close to death by starvation and suicidattemts. We can not own guns in my country, the laws are MUCH stricter then in the USA. But If they were so easy to get a hold of as in the USA I would probebly be dead by suiccide with a gun. And to be honest I dont know if I would have tried to scare or even kill one or more of the bullies then when I was bullied so badly ( between the age of 9 and 14). They made my life a living hell so I was desperet. Guns should NEVER be easy to get a hold of.
Your gunlaws makes it so easy for trubbled or sick or evil people to just get a vapon and masacre children. I so hope that your laws Will change to prevent this from happening again. You americans must make a choice live with schoolshootings and as many guns as you like. Or no or almoast no schoolshootings and guns only for hunters and other people who needs them. For me thats not a hard choice…
( Sorry for my spelling, I am dyslectic).
School administration brush bullying under the rug & say "Oh it's just kids, go sit down, get back to work" it's no big deal meanwhile someone's child is getting traumatized year after year. I have been involved with the school system before and have seen this happen.
I was bullied relentlessly, but I never had thoughts of getting a weapon and hurting people. I was strong enough to deal with it, but some people aren't. Be careful who you pick on, never know how they'll react!
In Mexico, getting bullied is something all kids have to learn to deal with. But if they can't, the good thing is that most kids just don't have such easy access to AR15s and all that ammunition. School shootings in Mexico are extremely rare, although they have become commonplace in the US.
True
@@RishayanPorMexico common place? whats your definition of common place? How many school shootings happen each year? How many have happened in the last 5 years?
Amen your a good person I was too and never ever killed anyone
@@RishayanPorMexico Yes and Mexico is SO great. Oh btw, what are you doing here, in the USA? I assume you are living in the USA or are you in Mexico? Mexico is crime ridden, poverty stricken, full of corrupt government and officials, even the police are corrupt! Gangs roam the streets and filth is everywhere. I've traveled some and still haven't found a country I'd rather live in than the US. So, stay in Mexico, if you're there, and go back if you're here in our country. Then you will be nice and safe from school shootings! LOL
He was Bullied. Exactly why I took my children out of public schools. There is a big problem in this country with bullying. Our teachers turn a blind eye and some even encourage it. How do you repair the mental damage at such a young age?
This is it: homeschooling. If possible - homeschooling.
Bullies are everywhere, learn to fight.
@@AFuller2020 the problem is schools suspend you if you fight back
@@AFuller2020 how about dicipline or expel the bullies. Their parents aren't doing their jobs of raising their kids how they're supposed to, so it's only fair for them to get the penalties and not other kids. Crappy people, with attitudes like yours, who become teachers without a true vocation, but get the job anyway because they know someone, and don't protect the weak when they cry out for help, are responsible in part for this bloodshed. You guys have no empathy for the suffering of the innocent and y'all don't belong near a child.
I was bullied for years, but I had two wonderful parents who gave me the confidence & courage to face those who were hurting me. And taught me how to forgive them as well.
Thank God for my parents or I could’ve very easily ended up like this kid.
I can totally relate.... having supportive loving parents can make the world of a difference. People who haven't been bullied probably don't get the damage that can be done and that's why things like this happen.
If I may ask how did they give you the confidence and courage to face them ?
Well YOU got lucky!! Marix Stone!!!!!!!!!!
@@jeny0o0o My parents told me that they believed the main reason some kids bully others, is because there's something about you that makes them jealous of you. At the time I couldn't understand it. But as I got older, I could see that that could be the case.
@@hildapompa4236 I certainly did.
Bullied so what? Doesnt give a right to kill anyone...
True, but bullying isn't right either. What's the point of it?
What a sweet man, he and the whole town have so much to process. Prayers for all, especially those who lost loved ones.
Use Riteouse Judgement; you can discern the differences of Facts, Assumptions & Exaggerations To separate the Actual Parts of Truth revealed!
I got bullied for having anxiety in 8th grade, and I was always ignored by my family since they were all toxic towards each other. Even today. I never had any mass shooter thoughts, but definitely had dangerous thoughts of hurting others. I'm all fine now, but we need to support each other cause you don't know when people can be pushed to the limit
Bullying can really damage someone, most especially if it starts in puberty stage. As a Psychology student, I was tasked to interview bullied people and let them open up of what's really going in their minds. It's scary! Deep dark thoughts that will give anyone goosebumps. And I thought, many are still strong to hold on and not act out their pain or else there will be a lot of this kind of shooting/killing all over the world. My heart-broke for those I interviewed, 200 of them. I gave them all hugs afterwards and keep in touch with some, in case they need help.
"In a world where you can be anything...be kind" 🙏❤️
Interesting insights, thank you. Good luck with your studies.
You should talk more about this in the various videos and threads .
I don't know if you do public lectures about this if you've made a video but maybe you should .
Famous lines from the Grateful Dead in one of their songs " Whoa oh what I want to know , IS ARE YOU KIND ? "
Our 30 year reunion I got real with a bully for high school, they never change, never.
I’ve been rejected, sometimes I felt like wishing death on my classmates, but I learned that bitterness doesn’t resolve anything
Someone who lost someone in the shooting knew the shooter. Said he was not bullied, rather he was the bully. Hurt animals, looked for fights. A real POS.
This man seems so kind . It must have been hard to keep talking about this. Bless his heart.
Typical older Texas gentlemen.
@John Smith yes Ted Bundy and a few others. Just a short observation if thats what you call it. He served and has a daughter Vice Principle unless I heard wrong. But I think it was the first interview or news I listened too. ???
I was bullied from ages 5-16 horrendously and it still badly affects me to this day
I've had those thoughts before. Once when I was in elementary and again in high-school. They need to take this bullying shit serious, remove those people from school. As soon as someone reports bullying. Show evidence and remove them . I still can't take a joke because of all that bullying I had to deal with . I punch now, I don't talk and it's gotten me fired from 3 jobs. Yes I'm sensitive, which will turn me insensitive really quick if you push me far enough.
Have you tried getting into therapy? I know it’s not for everyone but I think if you keep trying with new therapists, you’d heal. I’d say MMA to get your anger out but if you’re angry, you might want to hold off on it lol. You learn moves to kill with your bare hands. I wish you peace and healing this new year.
Parents need to actually parent.
The media gives them the attention they seek, so there are more of these. They put his picture up right away, tell his life story, interview his friends and neighbors. That is what he wanted. To send a message to the world that he is important. Then the media makes more $$$$$$.
You can't parent a kid who thinks they allready know everything. According to his Grandma the kid allways wanted to be difficult as kids do. I far to familiar with that kind of attitude. They hit puberty and they think they're big shit. I can't even begin to imagine the stress he put his parents and grandparents through. I bet they are relieved. The grandpa looked so worn out and just done.
Amen!!!
@@anlondubh it is the parent fault!!!
I can tell you this. We have always been bullied. Difference is that years ago you just fought it out on the playground. Nobody got suspended or had charges brought against them.
Um. There were horrible things that happened back then too.
Yup
good ol fist fights dont go down anymore. Too many fatherless cowards
That's the problem...I live in an area where if the child gets bullied and defends themselves, both the bully and the victim get suspended and punished. I grew up where it was ok to defend yourself and you wouldn't get punished, but it's not like that anymore. Now, the bullies have more right than the kids that are getting bullied.
True...I agree with you Shane. My parents would have spanked me hard for being a " bully" or starting a fight.
It makes me so sad seeing all the comments of people being bullied. I am so sorry to anyone that had to go through that and if you are still healing now, I hope you are happy now.
A friend of his said the shooter was NOT bullied, and that it was the shooter who did the bullying.
I was made fun of hell I’m a adult and I still get picked on, but I don’t wAnt to pick up a gun and kill ppl!!!😡. This is truly a horrific incident. My heart breaks for those victims and their families for the shooter grandma. Just horrible.
No this has nothing to do with being bullied. Be bullied dosnt make you want to kill your freaking grandmother. He was just a fucking weirdo that definitely had mental problems.
I agree; me too Nellie Diamond. I so can relate to your words.
Everyone is not strong emotionally in that way.
Y'all lying 🤥 anyone is capable of doing what this man did. Your not any better than him.
I was bullied in school for being a foster child growing up during 80's. But I never let get to me, once I turn 18 I left all that. Now I'm single father myself.
Some news reporters are just the worst kind of human beings. Insensitive, sensationalist, pushy; they are just like vultures.😖
i would of cursed them out
You’re so right Teresa ,just like vultures to get a story. So Insensitive ,.😖
And yet there you are, eating the scraps that they throw your way...
They're just trying to clarify unclear statements. It's pretty essential to their job and passing on accurate information. This man seems not to have a problem with them.
@@davec3651 you’re right Dave.
Parents have got to step up and talk to your children and let them know bullying is not acceptable. Let them know how people get hurt and they can hurt someone. please this guy did a sinceless act just for bullying every person takes it different..prayers for all the families
This man has a beautiful, gentle soul… you can see it in his eyes. This seems like a very tight knit community, that’s so important, especially during tragic times. God bless and help all of the innocent people traumatized by this horrific tragedy. 🙏🏻💜
This is so saddening please open your eyes and ears if you see someone getting bullied DO SOMETHING. These kids did not deserve for their lives to be taken at a young age. Please remember all the victims and let's try and make this world a better place.
The evil monster that did this is not a victim, the one's he murdered are the victims! Looks like this rotten reporting accomplished their goal here.... tell that to the families whose kids are dead!
have you ever growed up with abusive parents then go to school and be bullied there too.I don't see any mercy on your words.You talk about evil killing babies every day in the world every minutes is evil too but nobody says anything and it is aceptable.Living without God's laws make you lawless and you are capable of doing evil. Families around the world are dysfunctional no father no mother boyfriends girlfriends grandparents sociopath raising our kids that people brought to this world those abuse kids didn't ask to be born this the society that we have raised away from God

His "friends" ....
Everyone wants to know how and why.....
His friends knew he was a "cutter"
They picked on him for wearing cheap clothes...
The lisp.....
they likely labeled him as gay... Every single day....
I'm not condoning what he did, it's horrendous
But everyone wants to know, how could he do this? Why?
everyone responds differently, some people crack
I was bullied as a kid...
For being short and having long hair....
Stupid right?
I definitely got in fights over it....
They called me a little girl...
and I would respond with
"How you gonna tell your dad you got your ass kicked by a little girl?"
I got beat up a couple times
So my "friends" would beat me up every weekend to "make me tough.... "
Sounds stupid but
It worked.... 🤣🤣🤣
I still have the long hair...
A few days ago a cashier at the local grocery store referred to me as a woman.....😲
Then he looked up and realized I was a man lol
He apologized and was embarrassed
I laughed about it and said
"There was a time I would have whooped yo ass for that"
EVERYONE laughed
I grew up in the 70's and 80's it was a different time
But the boomtown rats had a song called "I don't like Mondays"
So it's not anything new is my point
RIP to the victims and 🙏 to family and friends

One of shooters class mates said that he was never bullied, he was actually the one doing the bullying.
Bullying does not means you will do something this fucked up. The 1 minute interview that was done by a dude who knew this guy said that he was not bullied. But let's say he was, still why would you kill kids. They never did anything to you so what is up with that. Prayers to the families who lost their young ones and may those peaceful souls rest in peace.
Come on people, you know deep down this isn’t just about bullying. He lives with his grandmother which means his parents deserted him in some way. This is a complex issue and bullying is just a small part of it.
Absolutely!! Seems like this kid also was neglected, he is a victim as well. This world 🌍
Well since we don't know the guys life i say let's not get to conclusions here and say bullying was a small part
There's no justification for the acts he committed....if you need help dealing with stress you need to seek help ....point blank......what this man did was evil .... because he was evil
@@bikewurks1757 This just a general comment?
I agree and I heard he was killing animals in the past and that is always a sign of a sociopath there was major red flags so so sad people need to pay attention! People need to try to notice these kids and tell someone they need help
I use to get bullied a lot in school because I didn't fit in. I know how lonely it can be to not have any friends at a school and get bullied. Luckily I found a couple good friends that looked out for me but sometimes people take it overboard.
Lol
@@6packonlyripped604 your reaction is being a bully
@@6packonlyripped604 you need some healing
Hugs 4 thugs
I was bullied too
(Long hair) stupid huh
I was forced to learn to defend myself
You can tell the people in the comments that who say "we all have been bullied" have never gotten bullied, lol. Being made fun of a few times happens to everyone, and that IS NOT bullying. Bullying is MUCH worse than being made fun of from time to time, bullying is being made fun of and psychologically tortured EVERYDAY, being pushed, punched, rejected, mistreated by teachers, constantly ridiculed and humiliated in front of others, etc.
It's usually 1 or 2 kids per classroom who get bullied, and some more serious than others. I was bullied and I know what it is. It's not "everyone", it was literally only me and when I learned to stand up for myself it was somebody else and I noticed it was only them as well, not "everyone".
Stop that "we've all been bullied" bullshit, because no, most people don't get genuinely bullied. Being teased from time to time is not getting bullied. You don't understand what being bullied is like. Probably some of you were either the bullies yourselves or the ones who laughed when someone was getting bullied. This is why this shit doesn't stop, because of people like you. Shame on all of you who say that to downplay the harm bullying causes to society.
People I’ve known that have been bullied, don’t go around wanting to shoot up schools and kill innocent people. I’m tired of people making that excuse cause no matter what happens to you, you should never make other people suffer the way you did or even worse. Especially kill innocent children.
@@vampireskyy2003 You didn't get my point at all. You keep ranting what average people who have never gone through bullying keep ranting. You are not doing a minimal effort to solve the actual problem.
What I meant is that not everyone is bullied, it's a very small minority of people who actually get bullied. And of course not all of them go on a killing rampage, but some of them kill themselves, develop issues like BPD or depression, become drug addicts, isolate themselves, turn into aggressive people, become alcoholics, etc, etc. Not everyone is built the same, these shooters already had some sort of mental issue before bullying but bullying was the trigger to make that mental issue much worse and drive them insane. Oh, you think it's just a coincidence almost every school shooter and psychopath that has existed were all bullied or abused in some form? You seriously think that's a coincidence? Because for me it's pretty damn clear that's the root of the issue.
I can talk from experience, I got bullied, and I developed very negative personality traits, isolated myself, became aggressive and defensive, lost my charm, lost opportunities, got social anxiety, etc. You have no idea what bullying can do to a person. Even if not everyone becomes a criminal it's still pretty fucked up that people who were happy children have to become suffering adults, just because some dick bags decided to ruin their happiness and future.
We need people to understand that and educate their asshole kids to respect other kids. We also need institutions and teachers to stop ignoring them bullying, we need governments to allow teachers to step in and get physically involved if necessary when a child is getting bullied, or have cops in schools to stops these bullies if society thinks it's wrong teachers do it, also parents of children with mental issues who can afford it should pay more attention to their kids and invest on their mental health, and those who can't afford it there should be an option for them to. Raising a kid is not a one man job, it takes many people to raise kids correctly.
Hope that makes it clear and you change your view instead of repeating an obsolete basic argument that has never made sense at all, and more importantly has never solved the problem.
Someone finally says it
@@Papapapapa78 I 100% get what your saying and I can see how bullying can play a factor in people’s actions, but there is still is no excuse for what they did. Like you said, not every person who has been bullied goes on a killing spree, including me who has been bullied. So I see absolutely no excuse. I agree that bullying is a problem and it should be stopped, but I just lose all sympathy for someone who is bullied if they inflict their pain onto others and traumatize them. I don’t care if the guy got bullied because he killed innocent children who had nothing to do with his situation. Those parents can’t get their children back. Its more than just bullying for people who do stuff like that. I agree with some of the parts in your comment tho. This guy didn’t get bullied in school anyway, he bullied other people and killed animals. But whatever was happening at home definitely played a factor
@@vampireskyy2003 That's beyond the point, I agree with you that he's a monster and I don't feel empathy for him either, I'm simply reflecting on the root of the issue. This shooter was a pathological psychopath, add bullying, poverty and abuse and you are creating a monster. Not all psychopaths are murderers, but abused psychopaths usually are. I've read many biographies of serial killers and shooters and most of them have been abused in some way, it can't be just a coincidence.
Also, why do you say he bullied other people? Everyone who knew him including his neighbors say he got bullied. Yes, he killed animals, that's a common pattern among serial killers and mass murderers, they tend to attack the defenseless because they are opportunistic cowards. It's also society's fault for not sending his ass to prison for the animal killings.
I'm not excusing anything, these monsters can go to hell, I don't feel empathy for them, but my whole point is that society is also at fault for creating these monsters. There's no point in just saying "oh, that serial killer is a piece of shit" and not fixing the core issues that allow them to exist.
I literally can't believe how many people are falling for this 🙄🙄🙄
What kind gentleman to take the reporters’ questions. Our thoughts are with you, your daughter and granddaughter, and your whole community.

@Elazar yup
There is another witness, a young man, who knew the shooter and he said the shooter was NOT bullied. The shooter was a bully who tried to pick fights at the park and loved hurting animals.
I think it he tried to divert his anger towards the animals.
Being bullied is no excuse for murder. Man up. And the bullies should grow up. There's no excuse for being a bully either - and that includes being bullied yourself.
Why does this reporter keep asking such stupid questions. Do you know what his intentions were, etc. How the hell would the neighbor know what the shooters intentions were. Did he have a conversation and discussion with the neighbor about what he was going to do? Keeps trying to put words in the neighbors mouth.

Nothing at all but a waste of human life was conducted at such a wasteful war.

American soldiers raped and killed the enemy and tens of thousands of kids and babies suffered at the hands of a government that themselves used as an excuse to finance their own pockets.
No one wins in a war.
Because of US military Industrial complex, othet nations followed our lead and now many nations have nuclear weapons.
And biological weapons..see whats happening with covid? How about the fact 650 kids and babies have a form of hepatitis that is killing them? How about Monkey Pox?
Well. Thats just the beginning of what the bible describes as the worst times ever in the history of the world or ever..all because man chooses lie and lust over God and righteousness and we are His witnesses and even you will see what has been prophesied long ago.
May God please bless you.
I liked the schoolmate's recollection better. "He wasn't bullied, he picked fights and lost and it made him angry." Some people are just evil. Some people are just cowards. Some are unfortunate enough to be both.
I wish the reporter had asked him what the neighbor noticed, himself, about the boy. They did try to pin him down on the bullying story, but I think some of the other stuff the neighbor said he might have learned from the news.
Being bullied is not an excuse to kill children, or anyone else. Schools and parents need to stop coddling children. We need to give children the tools to succeed in life, not teach them that pretend is real and that everyone on earth has to like them. We need to go back to reality.
I got picked on badly.
Clothes weren't " in" but my Ma really tried.
I had few/ no friends at that age, pretty emotionally screwed up.
NOT ONCE did I EVER think, I'm going to go kill a bunch of small children and their teachers. It's no excuse.
My heart goes out for all the victims, bless this kind man.
You are an overcomer like many people who survive childhood nightmares.
I had to wear "K-Mart" Vans when I was a kid. I got bullied cuz of that. Better keep an eye on me, I might snap.
Being female, you can't compare your experiences with being bullied , with what a boy goes through when being bullied. For example girls usually only get beaten up emotionally by bullies, whereas boys often get physical beatings as well as emotional ones. Rarely do girls who are bullied, fear for their lives, whereas boys often do. There are other differences as well which can make the bullying that boys are subjected too, far worse than what girls have to endure. As a result, some boys snap, becoming severely mental, and end up venting their rage in an evil manner! What they do is of course not justified, but it doesn't happen for no reason!
Its not an excuse but it is for a fact a reason!
Yeah and I was in the same boat and managed to graduate.

No excuses for the murder of children it’s the lowest If only they used that much hate and passion to do something good to be the hero not the villain it’s all personal choice you are right he died a villain!
What's so precious about those kids? There are millions of kids in the world
fellow student declared that this guy was Not Bullied. He bullied, taunted, and was distant and cruel to animals.
Schoolmate said he was absolutely Not Bullied.
I feel so sad for EVERYONE involved. .this young man needed help. Everyone knew it , but no one did anything. So sad.
Yea he needed help. Mental Help. Just like the shooter in Buffalo. They all need help 🤣
And yet the news media and our worthless politicians will both pretend to have no idea why these incidents keep occurring, and continue to do nothing about bullying!
Who is the idiot that sold him the gun?
That’s usually how the story goes… sad
It should have started with his Mother.
This man is gentle and caring, he is also hurting. My deepest condolences to him, his community, the families, and all those involved.
Oh, you know all that just because of this terrible news report, Lol
@@alaska3300 No. He just seems that way to me. If you try hard enough, try putting empathy into practice and pay attention you can sense it.
poor excuse for the senseless killing. If u are mad 😡 at the bullies. Go after the bullies and not all those innocent little children
There was a student that stepped forward to clarify that the suspect was not bullied. In fact, he often tortured animals and picked fights with others. It's his words against others.
But why target children? They were Innocent.
Thats probably why. The children were innocent and didn't get to live much of anything. He was sad with his life and didn't want to go without others not seeing what life could be.
They can't fight back.
Soft target
He knows that it will cause the most outrage and he himself hated kids his age so it makes sense he would target them
I think his plan was his high school. It just so happened he crashed by the elementary school while being pursued .
That kid , because at 18 they are still kids was SCREAMING for help and probably for years and nobody listened!!!
It really takes a village to raise a child but nowadays everybody is just minding their own business as if the acts of others don't affect everybody.
Well, now the community has learned _again_ that yes, what other people do and think do affect the lives of others in a big, big way!
How sad.
"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth"
I’m with you. The signs were there and he had NOBODY WHO CARED.
@@countrygirl1673 Or, they could have cared, but they just didn't know what to do. It's very hard to control a defiant teenager.
The village messed him up.
@@countrygirl1673 or maybe just perhaps there is real evil that exists in this world. 🤔
There are other interviews where his classmates say that he wasn't bullied and in fact he was the one trying to pick fights with everyone.
I was bullied beat abused by my parents sexually and by my siblings all my life and in school. I was always a ladies man very good looking talented and love helping people and raised one child. I've never ever thought about hurting anyone even though my past haunts me till this day I don't blame anyone but my abusers not innocent people. I'm 35 not perfect but as an adult I'm loved and respected everywhere I go. I wish my abusers the worst not innocent people. This goes to show some people are truly just sick people and weak looking for an excuse and way out. I'm a strong person unbreakable and refuse to be broken. #unbroken4life
Takes a veteran, to give it as it is! I salute you, fellow Veteran.
........and I thank BOTH of you for your respective military service!!!!
As it is? He was transgender and bullied that's giving it as it is.
@@maddogsenglishmen8020 That young? Didn't know that. Thanks.

When innocent CHILDREN are killed there is NO EXCUSE non whatsoever.
Witnesses were saying he was not bullied. In fact, HE tried to bully others and failed.
Interesting information this man has put out. So the suspect wasn't living very long with grandma, he argued with his mom, he was bullied, and there seems that there is more evidence on someone's phone about the bullying part. Yes, of course, he went to the school with the intent to kill. Also, he was cruel to animals which I heard about before from others interviewed. I can see a lot of evidence pointing to him being a sociopath. From this interview, I can say there is still a lot more information to come.
There was more to it than him being bullied. Lots of people go through bullying and don’t do what he did. Something in that family was broken in a bad way.
Bullying is only an "excuse" when you kill the bully. Otherwise you are the bully.
Nah Biden pushing a bill against 18 year olds shouldn’t purchase guns legally and rifle ban. And it was still in vote I think . Now think 2 18 year olds and it was made clear they where 18 and had assault rifles!! It sounds pretty convenient for the democrats everything that’s happening.
Thats the education system its either ok or go postal.
You absolutely right. He was just a plain weirdo Psychopath. The got in his IG and it was discovered he was sharing video of Animals being Tortured and Abused. People don't seem to understand that not ALL bullies are bad. Some of them are pretty Spot On.
You're almost certainly right, but bullying probably played a significant role as well!
Bullied is no reason to hurt anyone else...yet alone slaughter PEOPLE
ESPECIALLY CHILDREN
THE GUY WAS A MONSTER
A class mate has just spoken and said he was NOT bullied by classmates, he would go out and try to pick fights with them and when he did not succeed he did not like that at all.
Someone is definitely lying. Either this man or his "FRIEND", who was interviewed a few days ago. The more we hear from people more uncertainty seems to be added to the whole scene.
Right. Because how did “his” friends talk to this older man? They kept asking him and he dodge that question both times. The demon Ramos was killing animals but he got “bullied”.
@@Starkisssed111 I think he’s just telling people what they want to hear, and he doesn’t actually know a whole lot about the situation. He’s parroting what he’s heard from others and on the news. There’s nothing suspicious about it to me though.
Bullying, taunting… all bad. Back in the day they’d say “sticks and stones might break my bones but words will never harm me”. Peoples feelings and emotions being hurt nowadays can cause toxic results
Because so many people today are soft. Back in the day, things were settled with fists but no one died. Today it’s over the top and people can’t even settle things with the perpetrators it’s the innocent.
HE WAS NOT BULLIED ruclips.net/video/oPRmz3JZGQg/видео.html
Truth is, Words can hurt as much if not more than physical abuse. Human neurobiology is fundamentally social in nature and words have real effects on the well being of peoples minds.
People Need To Stop Using Weapons Use Your Hands To Punish The Person
You got that exactly right.
Bullying has become a way of life for the mass majority of anericans.
Today feels like a fog for me, and I’ve never met any of those kids. I can only imagine how the parents and families feel right now. My
Condolences and prayers
According to another interviewed young man who knows him, he was not bullied.. He was THE BULLY!!
Everyone in this community is so sweet and open
Thank God for that US Border Patrol agent that put him down. He could've taken so many more lives.
If the nice neighbor happens to read this, thank you for your service in VN.
Again another shock and tragedy for so many due to someone who is unbalanced.
The Vietnam war was an illegal offensive war, and had NOTHING TO DO with our freedom and democracy. Same goes with the Iraq war ( war for oil and selling arms). None of these wars after world war 2 have nothing to do with our freedom and democracy. If you care about these recent victims, can you imagine how many innocent civilians and children die during these illegal offensive wars overseas???? ANd most of you guys been brainwashed that it's for your freedom and democracy. Accept reality. ITS NOT. Your taxes goes toward military that does the bidding for oil companies, weapon industries, and defense contractors. While our national debt increases the elite make billions from these wars. Thank you for your service is meaningless.
My niece was suspended for fighting. Beat this girl up. I was pissed. Went to get her and scold her. Then she told me, "Nino(godfather in Spanish), this girl was bullying this boy with extrene Autism everyday, I finally had enough". I looked at her and then said lets go get some Ice cream. You did great. The principal was furious. I said whats the problem? The principle said you're not teaching her right. I said bs. You are not teaching your students about human decency. Then my niece sayd they were warned about the bullying of that kid, but they did nothing. So my niece did something. That girl bully learned that day. It was all over social media of her getting hands. I shouldn't laugh or be proud, but my niece hates bullies. I was proud of her that day.
Damn, it’s just sad when you hear the whole story. Looks like everyone was really a victim here… damn just an all around tragedy. People need to treat each other better and children need a way out of toxic households without the over correction that America is notorious for.
One of the boys friend spoke. The first thing out of his mouth was.. "I want to say he was not bullied, he tried to bully people & it didn't work so he would get mad and go to the park and pick on people, he loved hurting animals".
A grown family friend was interviewed and said.. that the he (shooter) was mad.. because he wasn't didn't graduate, flunk the 12th grade.. that he and his grandma got started arguing about it and he shot he.. the person being interviewed said.. the grandma IMMEDIATELY started screaming.. "HE SHOT ME, HE SHOT ME..
The GRANDMOTHER IS STILL ALIVE, BUT IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
THANK YOU!!! Everyone is just accepting how this man has all this information. Why were children calling him?? Made no sense. Yet the grandparents knew nothing. Then when asked if his life was very difficult “probably”. Umm, what?! He just said it was awful, had all this info, but couldn’t answer that? No. Not buying this. He either was fed some things to say or just did this on his own for attention. Even the reporters weren’t buying this. He kept saying “on the phone”. He never saw anything, he’s gossiping, came out at 5:46
He never spoke directly to anyone and everyone else just goes along with the bullying narrative like sheep.
Doesn't add up, he killed children, they can't bully anybody, including teacher.
A lot of red flags most offenders or in this case violent offenders are either bullies or the victims of severe bullying or even victims of domestic abuse remember there's no such thing as a one sided story
Sociopaths are angry at the whole society
So the revenge is collateral
lol you think psychology is that simple?
Children can’t bully anybody? Where you’ve been
turn off the internet, tanmay.
Stop the bullying! His bullies should feel ashamed as they contributed to this horror as well!
I hope & pray the Grandmother pulls through this ordeal. I'm at a loss to find the words amid this tragedy. I pray for all those involved.
Why shoot little kids though? That's what I get stuck on. Why not go after his 'friends' who made fun of him. This is just madness.
Where is his mother, father? They should be interviewed.
father is GONE the guy said ... not in the picture at all ... that is part of the problem ... mother left town (probably couldn't deal with it .... she later came back ?). looks to me like grandparents raise the guy and his sister ... looks like there is a lot of family issues ...
The HARDEST job for a grandparent to the start ALL over AGAIN raising her Kid(s) kid(s), AFTER raising her NOW adult kid(s). OFTENTIMES, we as grandparents have NO choice, and will do WHATEVER it takes to get them out of a TOXIC enviorment. UNFORTUNALLY, and sadly, with NO choice of their OWN ,so many innocent kids and teachers had to leave us this way.
@@adidakurt1878 oh, i was not hating on grandparents ….! I can only imagine how much it must suck having to raise your grandkids ( in this day and age). I have 3 kids myself, they are not old enough to have kids.
Sounds like the parents of the shooter and his sister are “real winners” ….
@@ZILAwelds you are correct, i know you weren't hating on grandparents, don't know if my statement was made clear, orjust misunderstood. ALL GOOD👍
@@adidakurt1878 maybe I read it "the wrong way" .... these things happen in writing on the internet .. its all good 👍
I had been bullied and teased about certain things in grade school and high school. I know what hate, anger and rage are. I also know what it is to make an effort to better myself, even if it is small steps. I have also had the experience of certain people being good to me when a lot of people aren't. To this day I am thankful for them. Thank you Rudy Garcia RIP.
first of all this guy is so kind and sweet! thank you for your service sir! and its clear that this kids issues all started at home with a screwed up family (from parents to grandparents, they didnt even know his birthday). lots of kids get bullied which is horrible but if you have the love and support at home, it changes everything.
Bullying has been going on since the beginning of time. And bullying is no excuse for killing innocent little children.
Stop making excuses for these freaks of nature.
Also we should stop making these kind of people famous because that's all most of them are looking for.
We also need to do a better job of teaching these kids that brands don't matter and to treat everyone with love and respect.
Kids bulling me made me man up 😆.
He was so angry against the world and thought the most innocent ones should pay for his pain, how pathetic. Hope he is burning in hell.
Totally Agrees 💯 I went thru it in school not only the kids, I was 2nd grade and teacher busted me out in 2nd and 3rd grade bcus my under clothes was dirty...why didn't the tell my mom I was a kid, instead of busting me out in front of kids, but I never attacked noone.....no excuse to kill....now i am 64yr💯💯👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
@@blackberrylady9265 no excuse I agree but there is no excuse for bullying either. I was bullied to the point of suicide attempts. We need to teach these kids brands don't matter and to treat everyone with love and dignity. My son is in kindergarten and comes home bullied. KINDERGARTEN!! We need to do better as parents guiding our children to see beyond their phones and name brands.
I’m so, so, sorry for the parents of all these beautiful kids, but, also for the parents and grandparents of this young guy that couldn’t control himself. Have pity! Prayer is all the parents have right now, give as many as you can.
Enough of the "prayers" bullshit. No one can save you but your self. Kids who were innocent should have never been taken from "god" as you guys say. Smh lame as fuck
From what this gentleman is saying - both of their kids needed mental help. That's on the parents
@Belltown Daisy then try to feel something for the whole generation that passed their kids off to a Grandparent because of “no father around” or drug use. It’s killing us!
Nope. Whether or not he is in hell, that is God's business, that is not my business. But it is time that God's people start being able to discern evil from good. His actions were EVIL, he took delight in not only murder, but he loved the fear, he loved the fact that these babies were in terror. NO, HE DOES NOT GET TO BE A VICTIM. If God had compassion on him God is all that IS good. But we have to start taking a stand against evil because evil is starting to get stronger.
Have pity?! He should rot in hell. I know many people who have had a shit life who didn’t feel it necessary to cause mass murder. vile cretin.
Thank you for your service.
He was bullied, and he killed 19 children and two adults. What a correlation!. No justification for this horrible action.
Man…imagine how SCARED those kids had to be when the shots first rang this is SAD MAN!!!
And for the next hour.
Shit like this didn't happen when kids had discipline years ago.
I still discipline my two sons. No one was going to tell me I couldn’t discipline my kids.
Praying for the healing of grandma ❣️🕊️🙏 she will never forget this...
I saw a video of one of his classmates who refutes the idea that the shooter was bullied. He also said that the shooter was cruel to animals.
In my day we never had this type of behavior. In my day we had State Hospitals that people who needed help could go to.
*OPEN THE STATE HOSPITALS BACK UP !*
They don't want help, they want to kill. Sociopaths exist and have always existed.
Getting bullied by your peers and your teachers is difficult, and the long term effects of being bullied thoughout your childhood doesn't just heal. Did I say teachers? That's correct. The bullying happens right under the teachers nose. After a while, it can feel like the teacher allows it to happen. It sounds like this 18 year old didn't get the help he needed to cope. So sad for everyone.
Pres Biden was a stutterer so Im sure he got bullied & he overcame his speech impairment. Ppl still bully him everyday!
Teachers should not be saddled with so many challenges they are not trained for. There should be effective and easily available mental health counseling right in every school. Maybe every student should be regularly counseled so no one is stigmatized.
@@virginiamoss7045 they should at this point be given training on behavior and how to spot oddities or at least something like that.
@@oooo-dw7gg They already do have some such training, but to make them responsible for their student's mental health care is too much. They already do way more than teach academics because we keep heaping more and more and more on them to practically raise our children because we are too busy working and trying to make a living and a home life.
Yes! Very often the faculty are in on the act, or are apathetic to the bullying. The cruelty is just magnified in those situations. The kid has literally nowhere to escape the torment.
Sir, thank you for your service
So sad, this all breaks my heart.
Being bullied is not a reason to kill innocent people.
I know there are many issues to unpack, but honestly, why wasn't the child helped with some speech therapy? Those kinds of challenges can really be hard on kids.
They probably didn’t have the money for that.

According to a close friend, the suspect was not bullied, but in fact, he was the bully.
There’s a video of a classmate stating that the coward was not bullied but he was the one that was bullying people but could not back it up. He also abused animals.
I've been bullied. I've got even with the bullies not children.
A daily reminder to treat everyone with kindness and respect. Lift up the down trodden.
Yes
Daily reminder to make it harder for psychopaths to obtain military grade weapons 🙃 This kid killed FUCKING 4th GRADERS, not his supposed tormentors. Don’t deflect from the real issue here.
He wasn’t down trodden black children in the hood are down trodden please they don’t go shooting up schools and when they act out the world calls it black on black violence I don’t do care to hear all this about this kid in this really small town where everybody in the town works at the school and everybody in the town kids go to that school even the cops smh
Being Bully Don't Gave You NO Right To MURDER Children, 🤫🤔This Is HEARTBREAKING 💔
I feel so bad for this community, such good hardworking people . Condolences to the families of these children. 🙏💔
I was bullied never shot my Beautifull Grandmother
It's obvious the man speaking is a loving kind soul. Bless him for serving our country! It's probably difficult for him to fathom the actions. God bless this all the families and the innocent children. So very sad🕊️
