School shootings are pathetic

Every time another school shooting or something similar to it happens, I  always inevitably wind up asking the same question: Who exactly are these people -- and why do they so terribly waste their crime ticket? 

It sounds a little strange, I know -- for starters, whats a crime ticket?--- but basically, the way my thinking goes is like this: These folks who commit the school shootings seem pretty aggravated, left out, and are usually seeking notoriety. They obviously don't care how they gain the notoriety and they're also pretty "fearless" -- like a Japanese kamikaze-- in a very real way. Therefore, my opinion is, if they're gonna commit some big ol' crime, why not commit one that  actually has some potential reward? Take, for example, robbing a bank for a million dollars, or even just for $100,000.

It's stupid as hell is what it is. Oddly enough, what it really reminds me of is a recent Morgan Freeman movie like Going In Style. The plot of this film is about three desperate senior citizens whose pension plans have just been robbed. They decide to take matters into their own hands and rob a bank. After all, what do they really have to lose? They're old and grey, and even if they get caught, they'll be dead soon anyways. Why not take the risk?

But these school shooters, what a bunch of absolute idiots. Their crimes will never be mythologized the way the crimes of someone like, say, John Gotti or Jesse James, have been mythologized. John Gotti and Jesse James are the types of criminals that people will probably still be reading about even 6-7 centuries from now. In truth, they're such different types of criminals from these shitty school shooters, that I almost feel sad to put their names in an article that discusses the school shooters. They committed wildly different types of crime, is the reason why. Sure they were violent -- but at least the violence of Gotti and James had some ultimate reward...that being MONEY. All the news outlets say the school shooters do it for notoriety. They don't get any notoriety, however, if you really think about it. They are all forgotten one after the other and no one is ever going to make a movie about them, like we've made dozens about Jesse James, and recently a feature film w/ Travolta about Gotti. These kids are the swine of the human race....and like i say....they're so pathetically wasting their crime ticket! God think of all the effort they put into this all. You could probably take a bank for a quarter of a million dollars w/ all the effort these assholes put in.

Personally, i think the media needs to discuss how they're wasting their one crime ticket, the way I'm doing. It might actually help deter future shooters. No joke! "Listen, kids, try to rob a bank instead next time...you'll get notoriety..."
