Attorney: Socastee High shooting suspect was bullied:

It was inevitable really.

Anyway, the attorney for the 14-year-old gunman from Socastee High School says that his client was bullied half his life. According to reports that will play a prominent role in the defense of the still-unnamed teen who fired a gun at school resource officer Erik Karney. Bullying doesn’t explain why he shot at a school resource officer but I digress.

Prosecutors are trying to have the teen tried as an adult but the teen’s lawyer is whining about that as well.

“I’ve got a client who is a little boy who has some severe emotional mental issues. We’re going to do everything we can to get him the help he needs,” Long said.

If you mean he was inches away from being a murderer then yes, he has issues.

Again, idiots like this who think a gun will solve a bullying problem, real or imagined, take the school’s attention away from bullying and place it on potential murderers. You’re only going to make things worse for the victims of bullying by either justifying or repeating his actions. Besides if you think you’re being bullied now just wait until you get to jail.
