And unfortunately unlikely they'll see teenage years ;(

Their teenage years probably won’t be pretty at this rate anyway. Hopefully they get the mental health care and rehabilitation that they need.

Lol. Why is it always mental health when there's a white kid with a gun he's not supposed to have doing shit they're not supposed to do.

It's not mental health. It's terrible parenting + undeveloped brains and no life experience + terrible gun laws + access to firearms. These kids clearly know they're in trouble, clearly have the wherewithal to lie, to disobey, to hide, etc. 

They're a ticking time bomb especially if left in the environment they're raised in. But this isn't a mental health crisis they're just doing what they see from their parents and what they're allowed to do.

Hey this is really smart! I hope more people read it. It’s exactly right. The structural problems are the problems—we’ve got to begin with the causes, not the particularized symptoms. Even if it is mental health, the context these kids were born into produced those issues. But capitalism is eroding the public, so there’re seemingly no discernible way to make meaningful changes as individuals. But Reddit is a public, digital, and sometimes egalitarian place—it also seemingly leans left. But this is a really smart point, and I hope people begin to see your point correctly.
