It's quite rare that any motive or negative information is given about the victims.
Probably because it would be misinterpreted as "They deserved it" or "They had it coming."
Plus, we don't say bad things about the dead.

I wasn't meaning anything negative although some may be bullies etc...... i just think if media stuck with we do not want to make these folks infamous and only focus that lives were lost it would show potential copy cats they will not be made famous.
 

I was bullied as a child and there were times when I considered whether I wanted to live, but I never had access to a gun nor would I have ever wanted to use it against those who bullied me. IMO it is not the mindset, it is the availability of guns.
 
Just a normal daily occurrence in the U.S. these days, when will it ever end?

Food for thought: Since the reality is EVERYONE now has access to guns, why not change the mindset?

Bullying is bullying. Young girls have committed suicide due to bullying and ridicule by "mean girls". No matter your gender, it's hurtful and can cause some strong reactions.

I was referring to the difference in how men vs women react to bullying; not the difference in how hurtful it is.
Women are less likely to react violently.
