18 school shootings in around 45 days in the USA. Obviously, something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

It's easy to forgive the perp when random strangers have been killed/wronged.

But when the victim is someone closer to you, then everything changes.

He is obviously in mental hell.

What more can you do to the guy?

Physical hell, how would that help?

I know you won’t answer me, *****. ;)

I think I can forgive Nickolas, but find it harder to forgive the system that failed him and the public.
