Victim of society.
There was a time when kids were taught that they came into the world with nothing and would leave with nothing, and everything they get in between they have to bust their butts and EARN.
They got nothing coming, it's up to them to go get it. Sink or swim, work or starve.
They were also taught that along the way there will be bad people. People that will tease, people that will bully. Life isn't fair, life isn't easy, be tough, fight back, It's a fact of life, learn to deal with it.
Stand up for yourself, learn to take a punch.
And we did just that. When life went to crap we pulled ourselves back up by our bootstraps and tried harder. We did not blame everyone else in the world because we didn't get everything given us on a silver platter. We didn't hater everyone else if we didn't succeed, we knew it was our fault, not everyone else's fault.
fast forward to today: a (slight) majority of the people in this country tell kids that they are ENTITLED to everything they can dream of.
They DESERVE all good things and no bad things.
They DESERVE to get a ribbon or trophy just for showing up.
They DESERVE to get straight A's just because someone else got them.
They are ENTITLED to go through life without ever getting teased, bullied, or hassled in any way.
They are taught to TELL a teacher, but never fight back.
So a kid develops an expectation where everything in life goes perfect, where he gets to be the homecoming king, the star athlete, all the chicks dig him, and the gubmint takes all the money away from everyone else and gives it to him until no one else has more than him or has it better than him.
But one day he wakes up and figures out that percentage of the population has been LYING to him. Life isn't perfect, life isn't easy, there are people out there that won't like him, and that may treat him poorly. He will not get everything he wants just by snapping his fingers.
So he gets mad. He gets upset at being fooled, at being ripped off. Why did they lie to me? He says. Why did they tell me I was ENTITLED to everything when it wasn't true?
They said I can have everything, it's their fault!
And he gets resentful, because he still believes he deserves all that was promised him.
So he strikes out killing people. That'll teach them to lie to me he says.
Unfortunately people like him strike out randomly and do not just kill those who perpetuate the lies. They kill the honest people too.
That's all there is to it sports fans!
