Kindergartners Are ‘Critical but Stable’ After California School Shooting
Kindergartners Are ‘Critical but Stable’ After California School Shooting
Two boys were rushed to hospitals on Wednesday after they were shot by a gunman on their rural school campus in Northern California. The authorities say the suspect had a history of crimes and mental illness.
The authorities said that Mr. Litton had suffered from mental health issues for decades. Based on writings they uncovered after the shooting, investigators said that he believed that he was an officer in a paramilitary organization tasked with performing child executions.
…
… Mr. Litton had a criminal history that dated back to his teenage years and included convictions for identity theft, forgery and petty theft, the authorities said. He had been incarcerated several times, though the authorities noted that none of his previous crimes were violent.
It's not clear what Litton's incarcerations accomplished. It's not out of the question that his time inside caused or exacerbated his condition, leading to this shooting.

Shootings in kindergardens should not get less attention that shootings at CEOs.
This makes me very sad to say but, CEOs getting shot has a better chance of getting the gun control that would protect future kindergarteners from shootings
Ironically, an idealistically legitimate purpose of an armed public is to maintain a credible threat against the likes of health insurance CEOs.
... what fucking paramilitary organization????
They whitewash fascism by blaming this on "mental health" and "homelessness".
They'll never talk about the deep racism throughout the injustice system. They won't talk about the right-wing ideology. They won't ever talk about the actual problems with pale skinned people. The capitalist media provides absolute cover for fascism, genocide, etc.
The one in his mind
He wrote that he was a lieutenant in (the / an) International Alliance.
And this group does "child executions"?? I mean what the ever loving fuck is going on here?
Mr. Litton ... Mr. Litton ... Mr. Litton
wtf? Why are they calling him "Mr"? Most of the time they just go with the last name: "Litton was seen, Litton did this", why does this guy get a "Mr"?
Who's they? The media in general or just the NYT? I don't read the NYT enough to know their standard. Now that mention it, I think I prefer the use of a title as opposed to just a person's last name.
School shooters are such absolute pussies. They could be shooting up anywhere and they always choose the most innocent people in the country as their victims. Guess it's not a surprise almost every single school shooter comes from a conservative family.
What's crazy is that this is a REALLY small school... It's like, a couple class rooms and a playground out in the middle of nowhere.
I remember when that guy shot up the amish school years back.
Why is that crazy?
I dunno, I just pass by that school often, it just seems like a peaceful place. If it were IN Oroville, it wouldn't have been as surprising, we always avoid Oroville
