I have a younger brother and he will be 30 in 2021. He lives with mom still and refuses to job hunt, and has no job because of this. He wanted to be a video game tester, maybe even a designer, but he will not put foward the effort. When mom passes away, he supposedly is getting her home, but with no income, he won't be able to afford to stay there. He thinks thay if he becomes homeless that one of his sisters (there are 3 sisters - me & two others) will take him in. I am not going to have him live in my home doing nothing but gaming. We have tried on two different occasions to let him stay here and had job(s) lined up. He refused them. If this is the case with the guy in the article, then I see why they pushed to evict him. My opinion would be different if he were paying a fair portion of the bills. And, in case anyone was wondering - we own our home. Not the land, but the home. The land it is on was owned by an elderly woman, and because we took care of her before she passed (almost two years of hospice-like care), she had it put in her will that we can live here as long as we want (or until we die). We made sure she took her meds, fed her, made sure she was plenty warm in the winter and not too terribly hot in the summer. Any issue she had, she called us and we were there. She fell, we picked her up and called her sister (a registered nurse) and we tended to her. In the cases where she fell and got injuries, we doctored those and cleaned up any messes. We did what we could for her out of respect for her. We were unaware of the will until 2-3 months before she passed. My home may not be the most glamorous, but its mine and as such we can remodel/renovate whatever we want to, and however we want as long as the construction/electric/water pipe codes are followed.

All these shootings are so very sad, and they do need to stop. I can say with almost 100% certainty though that even if Lys' idea for a school was implemented, it wouldn't stop them. Banning every gun that exists won't stop them either. This is a people issue! Not a gun or school set up issue. We, as humans, should all pay closer attention and search for the signs of the issues that cause most of these shootings. We know that bullies are a huge factor in them, so all of us parents and parents to be need to really focus on teaching our kids that we are all equals. Just because this kid or that kid has more or less than you doesn't make them less of a human. The biggest problem I have seen with the bullies is that part of the tactic is to threaten harm should the victim "snitch". These kids need to know that telling adults what is happening is the the correct thing to do. But, more importantly, the kids need to be made to feel safe in telling whats going on, and to have the confidence that the adult will protect them and will also address whatever issue there is. Almost every single shooting has the basic same story.. Person was bullied, no one stepped in to help. They showed all the red flags for the mental illnesses, and that they were making plans (most of which now days was posted on social media), and nobody did anything to help them. The parents couldn't be bothered with paying attention and listening to the kids issues. I feel that had the parents in almost every case payed the proper attention and stepped in to help the kiddos, a lot of these shootings wouldn't have happened. Parents really need to spend way more time talking with and listening to their kids concerns. I just had a situation, not even a month ago, where an adult made a very out of line comment to my child. What did I do? Well, this person was told if they contact me, or try to come to my home, I will contact the authorities and they will be handled accordingly. My child, while she is upset to have "caused problems", she has been reassured many times that she did the right thing in telling myself and my husband, so that we could cut ties with that adult. I do not want my child becoming a statistic, so she knows she can talk to me about any issues she has, and I will do everything I can to help her in any way. I honestly feel though, that had the "shooters" had more attentive & caring parents, the signs would have been caught, and help could have been provided. And I realize it isn't all on the parents, every single human that saw the alarming posts, and the warning signs should have definitely stepped up and said something!

I hope my vote isn't too late! Although, I pretended the question was "Should Samus ban Brewers?".

I think I still have the screenshots or something.. Some proof of that lol Ya know, cuz you didn't believe you'd done what you did on discord ..
