Pinto Nag sends us a link to an NBC News<\/a> article about a 15-year-old in Oregon who shot a classmate the other day, then he engaged in a shootout with police before he shot himself. Another indisputable tragedy. But, the media of course is obsessed with explaining his behavior – in this case they’re doing a jig. The shooter, whatever his name was, belonged to his High School’s JROTC program. And, oh, his brother was in the Army and in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

[What’s-his-name] arrived on the school bus on Tuesday, carrying a guitar case and a large duffel bag, Troutdale Police Chief Scott Anderson said at a press conference. One of those held an AR-15 rifle that the teen brought from home, the sheriff said.<\/p>\n

“The weapons had been secured, but he defeated the security measures,” Anderson said. <\/p>\n

Students who knew [what’s-his-name] told NBC News that the young man was in the JROTC and had an \u201cunhealthy obsession with the military,” often wearing Army fatigues. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What’s an “unhealthy obsession with the military”? Do you mean like enlisting, would that be an obsession? From Heavy<\/a>;<\/p>\n

[What’s-his-name]\u2019s brother, [What’s-his-name the elder], is an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, according to his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Lucas Padgett attended Special Forces school at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center in Fort Bragg, his Facebook school said. The 24-year-old now works as a sales agent for Farmers Insurance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I know, I’m checking on it. But I think it was his brother’s job with Farmer’s Insurance that pushed him over the edge;<\/p>\n
