"An eighth-grade language arts teacher from Maryland has been placed on administrative leave after school officials learned he allegedly authored two books containing questionable content under a pseudonym.
Local network WBOC News reports that the investigation concerns two books published by McLaw under the nom de plume “Dr. K.S. Voltaer,” and one is about a fictional, futuristic school shooting that goes down in history as being the largest ever in the United States.

This is lunacy. School administrators are terrified there will be another Columbine or Sandy Hook and are overreacting, or are they. What could they do to prevent one. Nothing, nil, zero. No need to ask yourself 'why', say thank you to the traitorous NRA , the propaganda arm of the small arms manufacturing industry, for blocking any form of gun control. They have successfully infected the country with The American Disease™ almost unfettered access to weapons of war that kill with brutal efficiency. Sadly there appears to be no cure.

Like someone else said, it's more like the persons in questions got messed around, screwed over, lied to and deceived by particularly abusive people. Some are pathologically abusive without meaning to, others are just normal scumbags that got the chance opportunity to express on their bad qualities without any checks and bounds.
Be nice to people unless they are abusive. Give people real help ie not just chatting. Get in touch with reality and deal with it. There's usually a history of forced exclusion, neglect and abuse during a long time before things like this happen. And easy access to weapons. Administrators are also usually a particular incompetent to detect and defuse bad settings. In fact they may be a part of it. So they can't be a part of the solution in many cases.

This guy is spot on. I've had to deal with this shit my whole life - forced exclusion, constant psychological abuse from "friends", and a refusal from everyone to even acknowledge there's a problem, much less any help explaining how I "bring it on [my]self." I don't plan on going on a homicidal rampage, but I can understand why people do.
