There are no words, I am still raged.

But with this evil reality, are we looking at cyberbullying, mugshots, and shooter's social media content the right way?

Information indicates that, by virtue of video games and social media, the shooter had rage: personally, it reminded me of Eric and Dylan [Columbine High School] and DOOM, bullying, etc.

These articles below could assist a lawyer in an opinion piece for their blog, mediums, etc. And personally, I believe mugshots (which are everywhere online) provide peers with digital ammo.

It was the case heard around the world.
