It's really no surprise the school shootings happens often in USA But they should shoot just their "hangmans" and not everyone...
Even so there is a lot of people on TV saying that bullying is natural and should not interfevened by new laws.
In a 60 Minutes episode, they showed that USA schools have money for things, ginasium, computers, but teachers were a garbage, with no care for students, and had a syndicated that protected then so much this situation have no way to change. They were never fired. Unless if f... with students...

Children are sociopaths, so it's no surprise that bigger and more popular (or pretty) kids will take advantage of their elevated status. I imagine poor behavior in children is fairly common throughout the cultures. Even I made fun of the strong but slow kid; I just wanted the thrill of something scary to angrily chase after me. I also made fun of the perverted kid who, in hindsight, was probably abused himself.
The reason school shooters take revenge on everyone and not just the bully is because everyone else is complicit in granting power to the bully.
In high school, the most popular kid punched me in the gut while I was walking down the aisle. Then I wrestled the kid to the floor. Every kid on that bus testified that I had started the fight by punching the popular kid. Exact opposite of facts. I hold contempt for anyone willing to give false testimony just to boost their social standing. Kids have little concept of honor, integrity, or justice; they just want to be cool.
The US educational system is broken in many ways. We have dumb legislation like "no child left behind" which can be interpreted to "every child will be certified to meet minimum standards regardless of actual performance". In other words, we're not holding students to high academic standards, which results in grade inflation, which results in diminishing value in credentials and degrees.
Pay is based on years of service, with no incentive to engage with children. There are excellent teachers who are passionate to teach, but they are treated no differently than those who have no enthusiasm and merely collect a paycheck. The only way I can think to fix this is to go to a voucher system, where parents are allowed a fixed amount of money to spend on private education. It will never happen though; the teacher unions are too powerful, and the public too stupid (do to their poor public education).
