[ WP ] Write a story of a school shooting that makes us sympathetic with the shooter .

School shootings are obviously bad. 
 
 There's no moral dilemma, no lesser of two evils. 
 
 What would compel you to shoot a man in the head? 
 
 Food? Money? Love? 
 
 It's hard to kill a stranger, even when you have to. 
 
 If he's hurt you though, it makes it a little easier to tell yourself, `` He wronged me.'' 
 
 Sometimes you might even think, `` He deserves this.'' 
 
 You forget to realize the shooter never leaves with his life: death by self, police, or jail. There is no `` life will get better.'' 
 
 If there's any sense of justice in the world, these people who hurt me would be punished. Perhaps I should be punished too, but there are worse things than murder. And that is driving someone to commit it.

 School shootings are accidents. 
 
 Preventable, perhaps, but also inevitable. 
 
 Kids are insensitive and sensitive all the same, and kids get hurt. Again and again and again. They live happily while I'm forced to live. Why? Why ca n't we just live in peace? You tortured me and eventually convinced me that this dead-end choice was the right thing to do. To martyr myself to tell others, 
 
 `` This pain will end.'' 
 
 I'll never know that peace.
