Episode 3590: IS ISIS BEHIND THE RISE IN SCHOOL SHOOTINGS?
from Renegade Talk Radio · host Renegade Talk Radio
School shooters have begun to be charged as terrorists, but should they be? What is ISIS doing to incite kids to attack? These questions - and more - will be answered. But, first, we take a look at the rise in wannabe school shooters - copycats of Ethan Crumbley - who recently shot up Oxford High School in Michigan, and became the first to be charged with terrorism. Since his infamous attack, there have been threats of varying severity towards several other schools in Michigan, as well as in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Fortunately, these students were arrested - and charged with terrorism - before they could actually do harm. Their individual stories are chilling: a 17-year-old girl who rapped about shooting up a school “like Oxford,” two 12-year-old girls who threatened two schools, a boy who’d already been expelled but returned to case the school for a future shooting, with his friend, who’d stockpiled weapons, and more.These students’ sole purpose was to disrupt classes, create fear and cause school closures. Next, we explore why school shootings happen, what the elements are that go into the making of a school shooter - including what they are spending time on online. And here’s where TikTok comes in. ISIS is using TikTok to recruit young suicide bombers to carry out Christmas attacks. What do ISIS and Radical Islamist terrorism have to do with school shooters who have been labeled as terrorists? We delve into this and the potential danger of calling everyone a ‘terrorist' just because they create terror - even if they don'thave a socio-political motive.
