>>71455962
White people are predisposed to mental illness which is usually untreated in young males.

It's usually a crime of passion with relatively few victims, as opposed to targeting a specific group of people with a well planned attack based on a political ideology.

you do realize that there's a reason for that, because HATE SPEECH can count as anything that is talking about crimes like that in a falttering way, IE, incintg people to crimes.

Higher Education is a pretty shitty movie about a school shooting. It's also a warning about going to a college with a lot of black people.

You literally said a would be school shooter stops a terrorist attack.
How is that NOT glorifying it.
>>
Probably hits too close to home because high school is seen as a great moment in US consciousness. Personally, I think HS is overrated and think college is WAY better but that's just me.

Anyhow, nobody really wants to properly depict and analyze what causes school shootings because it forces parents, faculty, and society in general to take a good look at themselves.

Anyone else ever see The Final? The reporter's coverage of what happened is exactly the kind of skewed and simplistic treatment that contemporary society view school shootings.

They're ISIS.

is he shot by swat?

or does he try and play off a hero that he managed to get one of the shooters weapons. does he stealth his innocence and have his desire to kill the people in the school gone for some reason
>>
>>71461221

his desire will be gone although short lived as the school, the bullies and the faculty see him as their hero.

right now i'm in a toss up if I want Bay to direct it (for better action scenes) or Gibson (ultra violence against jews, getting shot in the face etc)
>>
>>71461340

It's definitely taboo and unconventional bit I'd honestly want to see something like this. Something that isn't so safe and in between the lines. You should shoot the film yourself, t.b.h.

>>71461817

i tried to shoot it for a 30 minute film. no school would allow a gun near kids, permits and stuff. etc - set me back around $15000 grand and i'm still paying for it.

Watch Elephant or Zero Day. They are both pretty heavily based on Columbine
>>
>>71462304
We Need to Talk About Kevin is another pretty good movie about a school shooting
>>
>>71462297

the one thing that really really pissed me off is the principal already agreed to the shoot at the school (filiming) the gun that i used of course was a prop gun (airsoft) so it would have the same weight and feel. of course i would need a handful of kids to serve as students and when they found out i had a "gun", the filming was stopped and we had to pack up. a humour sprung up that i want to shoot up a school as well which didn't go well with my parents (both are church workers) so i had to stop even though i've invested heavily into it

Black crazies usually either get killed, go to prison, or end up homeless. Being poor and crazy doesn't mix. Like, your parent's can't afford new shoes for you, how the fuck are you going to obtain a weapon? Or, if able to obtain a weapon, do some stupid shit like kill irrelevant kids and lose your gat. You're going to keep that shit to represent your shit, son.

But I digress. Blacks (or poor people in general) have more problems than feeling angsty and wanting to kill some random kids and die like a bitch. That's for suburban pussies who don't feel love at home, want attention, and yet don't have to fight to subsist. Suburban people are faggots, period. I'd like to add that urban poorfags developed much of good rock music, and rarely have richfags/suburbanites done anything good musically. Also, a lot of the pussy faggot shit out there (emos, hipsters, SJWs, /pol/fags) are coddled and sheltered. If you were born middle-class essentially, you're a pussy and have to work to do anything good in life. Why do you think the middle-class are the most medicated, drugged, and suicidal of all? Cause they're lives are meaningless and empty.
