Not a fan of using a school shooter as a meme format
I wouldn’t have known had you not said this. Never saw this image before.
I didn't know until just now either. I actually assumed this was from that Making a Murderer documentary.
Do you think people use it because they don't know it's origin?
yeah, thats kinda not good. i didn't know what the guy did, i saw a couple of scenes where he tried to plead insanity to get out of his responsibillity. thank you for bringing this up.
I don't know how it is in the USA but here pleading insanity is not a way to "get out of your responsibility", it can actually be a risky move because you are at risk of being imprisoned for the rest of your life. While a normal life sentence normally isn't a life sentence.
Generally people who fake insanity are facing the death penalty instead of a life sentence.
Alright. Then I fully support it. No one deserves to die by the death penalty.
thanks, I never saw it this way. I am not sure that the guy from the video understood it as you explained it to me.
Well he's not actively shooting so it is ok
