An open letter to the next mass shooter...

to next troubled soul doesn't fit in. has no friends. gets no respect. needs never gets it. angry. feels alone. thinks best way go out in blaze...

go it. write goodbye letters. pack guns. put on vest. in car. start driving.

instead of driving school, or movie theater, or mall. or old job, wreak havoc...

drive police station.

calmly park. calmly enter station. calmly put hands above head. calmly tell first person see "i need little help."

, ready life change.

might seem weird @ first. may not greet open arms. might tackle you.

wait until story hits press.

make news. make friends. loved. rescued.

become hero, because had courage stop yourself.

secret no 1 wants talk lots of people understand why mass shootings happen. life can suck. people can suck. parents. teachers. bosses. can suck. people have never met yet interested in you! there friends made. people listen! girls kiss!

if kill bunch of people, , yourself, no 1 ever gets chance "hey, know going through. let's go burger , beer , talk ****!"

well, if walk police station armed teeth , lay down guns, , ask help, entire life going change.

think you'll leave mark taking down handful of random people? imagine mark you'll leave if stop in tracks , tell world do, didn't!

every news station want talk you. every person knows how feel, might have been there themselves, want shake hand. you'll have free lawyer.

you'll book deal. name become household word. movie stars , athletes calling you. people love you.

because of didn't do.

, next person might thinking of going on rampage see role model, instead of misunderstood dead kid.

think no 1 cares you? think can't make difference? think causing pain answer? think again.

 

interesting idea 1 huge flaw in logic thinking committing mass shooting isn't crime. other being forced undergo sort of psychiatric evaluation, there no downside mass shooter. , correctly pointed out, idea has upside it draw many more opportunistic characters, aren't mentally ill, looking publicity , rich quick scheme mass shooters. time real mass shooter decides try this, wouldn't make news cycle.
