perfect blue Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 On February 6, 2004 16-year old Jon Romano brought his shotgun into Columbia High School in East Geenbush, NY. He opened fire, wounding a teacher and traumatizing thousands of students before he was tackled, restrained, and arrested. He served 16 years in jail before he was released. He has since amassed 250k followers for documenting his 'journey to redemption' and his experience being attacked in a homeless shelter by an unhoused, mentally ill man. He's currently embroiled in controversy for framing his attack at the homeless shelter as a black-on-white hate crime. People are also pointing out the white privilege in his situation - for serving 16 years as a mass shooter, while the mentally ill black man that attacked him is facing 25+ years. Should a school shooter be allowed to monetize the trauma he inflicted on thousands of children across social media? Is there room for redemption?

perfect blue Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 My take is that anyone who has attempted a mass-shooting clearly falls on the antisocial personality disorder spectrum. That is a life-long diagnosis that stays with you regardless of how much 'growing' you do. I would be VERY suspicious/concerned with anyone with this diagnosis who has a platform on the level of Jon's. I have observed several of his TikToks and the way he recounts the trauma he inflicted on his victims is incredibly disturbing. He talks about his victims forgiving him with a very smug, almost gleeful sense of self satisfaction. I don't buy his 'enlightened' schtick at all - it's giving charismatic cult leader. He should be de-platformed and closely watched. **** this loser's redemption arc. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, LOTS of white girls from Tumblr were obsessed with serial killers. This isn't just a Gen Z thing, sadly.

X~MoviePoP Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) What i gather is that hes trying to educate and prevent future ones. Whats the problem? Just like ex-convicts go to be motivational speakers, ect. Hes the one who would know most why these shootings are happening and the mindset of the killers.
