why do you think people go nuts and grab a gun and just start shooting places that they were bullied for so long i know it can be hard to be picked on but thats what relaxing events are for
what would possess the shooters to just throw their life away over a mere words

I guess it could be that they're MENTALLY ILL or CRAZY. Or maybe they hate certain people so much that they had thoughts of killing them. Those are just my thoughts whee .

Gosh, there could be a million reasons. Like meamaaslimjim said, the person's most likely mentally ill if he/she gets the gall to take a gun and shoot another human being for something as menial as being made fun of. It's true that people can be overly sensitive and take insults to heart, but I personally think it takes a certain level of insanity to respond to insults via shooting people.
I've been made fun of before in the past, but I either ignored it or walked away.
Another reason could be the person's past or the way they were raised. It's possible they were raised by sadistic parents who didn't bother teaching their kid the difference between right or wrong...or maybe the person didn't have parents at all, didn't have anyone to teach him/her about anything, and somehow found a way to pay for school.

You may say you've been made fun of in the past, but how much? These are often people who were picked on or bullied a lot. They probably had no means of defending themself and it gets bottled up. Suddenly it comes out and the gun means they can defend (or revenge) themself from the world. When that much comes out at once, the world is your enemy. They might not have done anything to you, but they didn't help or defend you either. It's hard for even me to understand as I can not stand to hurt others, but I do know what it's like to be that angry at the world.

People whom have probably been mentally and physically bullied everyday of their life, I can see someone like that snapping. It can't be fun. And for those who go as far as to shoot someone, that's more them being tortured then mere 'bullied'.
