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.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 21 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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
