School shooters often craft elaborate online personas and public images specifically designed to attract attention and build a fan base, treating their violent acts as a form of performance art or 'clout-seeking' behavior rather than purely criminal acts. This pattern has evolved since Columbine in 1999, with perpetrators like Salvador Ramos (Uvalde shooter) and Solomon Henderson (Antioch shooter) deliberately posting photos, manifestos, and social media content to ensure they would be remembered as 'badass' villains or 'edgelords' after their attacks. The video argues that exposing these individuals for being 'corny dweebs' rather than allowing them to be portrayed as cool villains could potentially reduce future shootings by removing the attention-seeking incentive.

The Larping School Shooter
Added:The cop said, "Yell if you need help."
And one of the persons in my class said, "Help." The shooter overheard and he came in and shot her.
>> Oh my god, bro.
Oh, hell no, man. What the [ __ ] man?
>> Who invited this kid?
>> Sucking in his cheeks, he's doing some e-boy pose. He's flexing his neck muscles. This isn't what he actually looked like. This is what he looked like. Man, unless >> Shooting up schools for attention.
>> What's the worst thing you've ever done for attention? For me, it was probably starting this YouTube channel. But some people do something much worse. Like say, for an example, shooting up their school. People shooting up schools for attention is sadly nothing new. This has been happening since Columbine in 1999.
They wanted to be on national television and have a fan base dedicated to loving them and they got that. As Dylan Klebold said himself, "I know we're going to have followers because we're so [ __ ] godlike." But nowadays, it's a totally different landscape than it was in 1999.
Kids aren't doing it >> This sounds crazy until you realize that people be having like crushes on serial killers and [ __ ] bro. What what's what's his name? The the guy who was eating black people? Jeffrey Dahmer, bro. Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeffrey Dahmer literally had a fan base, bro. Women were fanned out over that [ __ ] >> be on CNN or Fox News. They're doing it for the TikTok edits, the memes, the fan art, to have mentally ill 16-year-old girls crushing on them. In every recent school shooting, every one of the shooters crafts a public persona knowing they will have a fan base and every aspect of their life would be looked into and made public. Almost all of them have a man >> Is this like the final form of performative male head? [ __ ] crashing out so they can have a female fan base, bro.
>> list though or a diary. They only show certain pictures they want the public to see of them so people will think they look cool or attractive. To them, this is their chance to write themselves into the school shooter canon. Their one chance to be amongst their idols like the Columbine shooters or Adam Lanza.
They want a piece of that TV spotlight.
So, today I'm going to be looking at a few school shooters that I think perfectly showcase this. Salvador Ramos, the perpetrator of the Uvalde shooting on May 24th, 2022, after an argument with his grandmother, he would shoot her in the face before driving to Robb Elementary School. There, he would walk into a classroom and kill 19 >> Yo, what the [ __ ] did granny do, bro?
Like, he started with his own family.
Yeah, no, yeah, no, this this [ __ ] Yeah, he he not going to have mercy on anyone.
>> children and two teachers over the course of 77 minutes. If you know anything about this shooting, it's probably the utter incompetence of the police officers literally standing outside the classroom for 77 minutes listening to him slaughter kids, probably playing [ __ ] Temple Run on their phones.
>> No, I ain't going to lie, bro. You can't do no [ __ ] like this, bro. If you going to be a police officer, bro, don't be a [ __ ] [ __ ] bro. Yeah, bro, they used to be letting anybody become police officers these days, bro.
>> I think this perfectly illustrates how horrible the cops were. The cops said, "Yell if you need help." And one of the persons in my class said, "Help." The shooter overheard, and he came in and shot her.
>> Oh my god, bro.
Oh, hell no, man. Who invited this [ __ ] man?
>> You That has to be the most low IQ individual ever, bro. This [ __ ] gave away the location to the [ __ ] shooter, [ __ ] >> That cop was so stupid, it's almost like a comedy sketch. It would be funny if their incompetence didn't kill real children. During the shooting, >> No, I ain't going to lie, bro. That [ __ ] got to serve some time for that or something, bro. He got to lose his job or something. You can't just You can't just be that stupid, bro. That's That's not cool.
>> Salvador would taunt the students and teachers and write "LOL" with the blood of children on the whiteboard. I seriously hate this guy so much. He reminds me a lot of that pretending to be crazy video. He wants to be seen as some heartless evil psychopath, and you can't let him be portrayed as that.
>> Corny as [ __ ] by the way.
>> That's why he did the shooting. He wants the attention. He wants to be the bad guy. I think this picture of him totally showcases this. This is how he wants to be portrayed.
>> Oh, yeah, look at this popular loner ass [ __ ] bro. Yeah, no, he's he's forcing it, too. He's forcing it, like overly forcing it, bro.
>> Sucking in his cheeks. He's doing some e-boy pose. He's flexing his neck muscles. This isn't what he actually looked like. This is what he looked like. Man, unless >> Boy, if you don't get your goofy ass on.
He thought he was an anime character.
This [ __ ] thought he was Chrollo, bro.
>> He's Michael Jackson. He edited his skin to be whiter. He actually edits his skin to be white in every single photo he takes of himself. This photo is basically unrecognizable as him. It's he'd used to groom girls online. He also set it as his phone wallpaper. How pathetic >> What a [ __ ] loser.
>> [laughter] >> What a [ __ ] loser, bro. [ __ ] actually be dweebs.
>> narcissistic do you have to be to do that? Let's take a look at his internet activity before the shooting. The social media he'd frequent the most was Yubo, >> Biggest >> which is commonly described as Tinder for kids. That sounds like a really bad idea. His username on there was the biggest opp, and he'd spend most of his time harassing little girls. Hi blank, are you going to ask me how I got your number? Answer me. You're going to regret not doing what I say. Biggest opp here. You can tell he thought he was so cool and sinister for doing this. But the girl just didn't respond.
>> Man, that is sinister activity, is what that is.
>> He sent those messages to an under >> He thought he was Timmy Thicknugget.
Oh my god.
>> that she was ignoring him. Hey, I'd worship you. Want me to? Are you a celebrity now? Go jump off a bridge. If we just released embarrassing stuff about every school shooter, we'd have a lot less of them. I promise you that.
Leak their search history and their embarrassing messages with women.
There's actually a lot of screenshots of him being rejected by women.
>> Don't let these [ __ ] go out looking badass, looking like super villains, [ __ ] Like let's expose them for being the corny, [ __ ] dweebs, douchebags that they are, honestly.
>> New obsession. We should hang out. Where you at? I'll be in San Antonio in a few weeks. Why? What do you mean why? I'mma go out there soon. Okay. So, what What we going to do? I'm bored. Anything fun over there? No. I think me and you would be so good together. I don't take no as an answer. I'll see you soon. I don't know how you look like so >> Y'all know that one meme? How bro felt saying this with the wolf? That's his whole personality. That's that whole troll playing out, bro. How bro felt saying that?
>> This is awkward. I'm already 18, but I'll tell you in 3 hours. What? Yeah, what about it? Turned 18 May 16th, but I have something to tell you. Okay. Bet.
I'll tell you soon. Okay. Go. Ugh, you're annoying me. There's no point.
Trust me. Not right now. Before 11, I will. Something that Salvador loved to do was to say something like, "I have something to tell you." But then he just wouldn't say what it was. This is something annoying children do. He was really >> Yo, this thing is an attention [ __ ] He wanted attention. That's That's what it is. He wanted attention. He wanted people to be blowing him up and chasing and pursuing them and [ __ ] >> hoping they'd be like, "No, please tell me." But everyone he did this to just didn't care. Fun fact, did you know he was bullied throughout middle and high school because he'd goon in the middle of class? He recounted the bullying in more detail in another note. I have been bullied {slash} harassed my entire school career. Slapped, slapped with the Germ-X, tripped, punched, picked on, pushed down the stairs.
>> Just learn how to fight them, bro. Why the [ __ ] you going to shoot up elementary school, you [ __ ] loser?
>> I was getting bullied because I started beating my dick in seventh grade. Have you considered not beating your dick in the middle of class? I mean, I don't support bullying at all, but what did you expect?
>> no, no, no. Um, I actually do support bull- No, no, no, no.
Okay, that sounds crazy, but I actually do support bullying, bro. Certain people definitely need to be bullied. I feel like certain levels of bullying, of taunting, it just like gives you certain levels of character development. It pushes you to go harder, to improve yourself.
>> He was such a total edgelord on Ustream, everyone knew him as that school shooter guy. He'd randomly show people videos of him killing and abusing cats, constantly post pictures of guns, and threatening to rape and murder people.
>> I guess >> Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. So, y'all telling me there were all these signs and nobody like did anything? You said this [ __ ] was torturing and killing cats and he had access to guns and [ __ ] and and no one batted an eye.
We just all just kept living our jolly lives. Like, [ __ ] report that [ __ ] What what are we talking about? What the [ __ ] do we talk like this was the most obvious telltale sign of of a shooter ever, my [ __ ] >> Everyone Everyone in this world deserves to get raped then.
>> No, just you, buddy.
>> He'd get banned a few times, but he'd just make another account. He'd also claim to have scars on his face from cutting it. Corpse Husband asked, on March 14th, he'd post, "10 more days" on Instagram. When one of his friends asked if he was going to shoot up a school, he responded, "No. Stop asking dumb questions. You'll see." Something that really stands out to me is how it seems like everyone around him was just so sick of how edgy and attention-seeking he was. Take this as an example, when he randomly sent his gun purchase receipts to someone. "Guns are boring." "No."
This guy did not give a [ __ ] A few days before his attack, he would begin harassing a girl on Instagram, begging her to repost his gun pics. "Hey, you going to repost my gun pics?" "What?
What?" "What your guns got to do with me?" "Just wanted to tag you." "I'm so confused, but why?" "I don't know. Be grateful I tagged you." "No, it's just scary, for real." "How? I barely know you and you tagged me in a picture with some guns." "Ugh, I guess." "Hey, hello." "I'm about to I'll text you in an hour." "Okay, okay, but you have to respond. I got a little secret I want to tell you." "I might be taking a nap cuz I'm really sick, but if I'm awake, I will."
>> I didn't know you could be this much of a [ __ ] loser. You're telling me you're tagging people in your gun photo and you want them to repost it? Are we supposed to be impressed by this or something? What what the Huh? The thing I hate the most bro is that [ __ ] will turn out like this and they'll try to blame it on bullying bro. I think 99% of the population got bullied growing up bro. We've all experienced some sort of bullying. It's on you the type of human you are the the [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] you are on how you react to being bullied [ __ ] It's on you.
>> That that I'm going to air out. What?
Hi. This guy is physically incapable of having a normal conversation with a woman. Why would a random girl you don't know repost pictures of your guns? The day of his massacre, he texts a 15 year old girl from Germany. I'm going to tell you right now, hold on. Waiting for this [ __ ] I'm going to do something to her right now. Oh my god. She's on the phone with AT&T about my phone. It's annoying.
Crying emoji.
>> How did he even know >> shot my grandma on her head. I'm going to go shoot up an elementary school right now. Cool. She'd actually end up deleting that cool and replacing it with I just saw the news because she was scared she'd get in trouble for not reporting the messages. But honestly, I don't blame her for not taking this guy seriously. He was such an edgelord who constantly says stuff like this for attention and she was 15. Also, her response was kind of funny. I can't lie.
Of course, the last person he texted was a >> Yeah, I mean people troll online all the time. Of course, he didn't think he was actually going to go shoot up a school bro. Yeah, a lot of young men are pretending to be edgy and like like they're gangster or some sort my [ __ ] Of course, he didn't think he was actually going to go do that [ __ ] >> 15 year old girl. So by now, I think I've totally destroyed the perception he wants in of being an evil psychopathic badass. He was just an edgelord and everyone around him was just so sick of his [ __ ] Now, onto the next example.
Samantha Ruppno, the perpetrator of the Abundant Life Christian School Shooting.
On December 16th, 2024, she would bring two of her father's guns to school. She would head into a bathroom and post a picture of her on the toilet doing the okay hand gesture as well as a link to her manifesto on Twitter. She would then shoot and kill a student and a teacher before for her own life.
>> Nah nah nah nah, nah, nah. I really hate this [ __ ] of These [ __ ] they know. They know like [ __ ] they're intensely doing this [ __ ] for the clout.
Like [ __ ] you're murdering people for clout. They know they going blow up after killing people and they're setting up their social medias so they can be remembered like oh like like legends or something. That's like like that's that's got to be the most sick [ __ ] I've ever heard bro. What do you mean you're about to go shoot some people up so you're setting up your IG profile, your Twitter profile so it looks aesthetic.
What the [ __ ] are we doing bro? What are we doing? That's next level like I I don't even have the words for this bro.
>> Oh, remember how I said she posted a link to her manifesto? Uh-huh, she forgot to make it public. She forgot to make her manifesto public. It was a Google Docs link and if you [laughter] clicked on it she had to request access and obviously she wasn't able to give you access. The only way we even have the manifesto is because some Twitter investigator messaged her internet boyfriend and got him to screen record it. Speaking of her internet boyfriend, after the shooting he'd make a series of tweets blaming society for Samantha's shooting. Make her feel isolated, make her do this. You are all horrible people.
>> Shut your [ __ ] ass Like the [ __ ] out this [ __ ] bro. What?
>> Every single one of you >> Put that [ __ ] behind bars bro.
>> picking on her, it's your fault. If you weren't nice to her, it's your fault.
Oh, and especially her [ __ ] father.
Lock that piece of [ __ ] up. [ __ ] did I do? As soon as public photos of Samantha got released >> Yo lick that [ __ ] ass bro.
>> trans. Her boyfriend would spend much of the few days after the shooting telling people she wasn't trans and was indeed a biological female. After every shooting two things are guaranteed. People will say the shooter was transgender or Sam Hyde. Sometimes both. Her boyfriend would end up claiming that the released pictures of Samantha were edited to make her appear uglier. He'd post this supposedly unedited photo of her.
>> [laughter] >> Nah again you didn't do the edit scan. I ain't going to lie. Your girl is chopped, [ __ ] Chopped cheese, grits, cooked, [ __ ] Like she is burnt, [ __ ] I I need to come up with a new phrase, [ __ ] She grits, [ __ ] She look like a corpse. [ __ ] that [ __ ] >> shot up a school and he's concerned about people thinking she was ugly. He was more concerned about having an ugly girlfriend than having a school shooter girlfriend. And this has to be the worst way to find out your girlfriend was catfishing you. She obviously put her photos into an AI to make herself appear prettier, which is honestly really sad.
>> AI is >> This unedited photo >> wait, wait, which one is the AI, [ __ ] Cuz I ain't going to lie, she look chopped in both. Oh god. Oh god. Which Wait, hold on. Which one is the edited one? Which one is the edited one? I actually don't know. She look chopped in both.
>> is clearly edited. Taking a look at her manifesto, it's a total nonsensical mess. I really have no idea what she's saying. She constantly refers to a revolution. You're not Lennon. You're a school shooter. She said she got the guns from her own father's stupidity, that he's abusive, and she was thinking of ending her own life, but she decided to kill people at her school because it would be better for evolution. I think she meant to say revolution here. To give you an idea of how poorly written it is, it begins with hatred. Something everyone has gotten. In a sense, some people think it's pure nothing. But because of the hate they make, it ends up killing them without knowing it, which go right ahead. I don't mind. But I kind of do at the same time. You are just simply nothing but scum to this world or even think about. Nobody should want you or your body >> See, this this is what happens when you live too much in fantasy land, bro.
[ __ ] shut the [ __ ] up.
>> body in any way. I have no idea what this means. Like seriously, what is she trying to say here? But with that being said, I wouldn't say she actually did this attack for attention. I think it certainly played a part, but she did it more so because of the hatred she had for people and her intense depression.
The only reason I'm including her in this video is so the next two makes sense. Solomon Henderson and Desmond Holly. I couple these two together and I dub them [music] the simp duo. The reason for this being, they both had a crush on Samantha. Let's start with Solomon, the perpetrator of the Antioch High School shooting on January >> Wait, what do these [ __ ] see in Shotti like? Like I ain't going to lie, maybe she had an amazing personality.
It's def- It's definitely not her looks.
It's definitely not her looks. And when I say amazing persona- I'm actually going to take that back. I think it's the fact that they were all weirdos and they formed a connection in their weird bizarreness. That That's what it was.
They they they bought trauma bonded, you could say. But yeah, it definitely wasn't her looks.
>> 22nd, 2025. He would post a manifesto as well as his diary online before shooting and killing a fellow student. He would then take his own life. He attempted to live stream the shooting, but thankfully his cellular data was so bad the live stream kept cutting out. Nothing graphic >> Did this [ __ ] do the same pose that she did with like the the hand gesture?
What a [ __ ] loser, bro. I mean if if you're going to go out, at least at least be original, [ __ ] Have some novelty, [ __ ] You're going to bite someone else's swag? Like how much of a [ __ ] loser can you be, [ __ ] >> Rishawn. His plan was to kill at least 10, so he would have killed more than Audrey Hale, the 2023 Nashville shooter.
The reason for this being, he didn't want a transgender having killed more people than him. Originally he had planned to wait until his 18th birthday so he could buy better weapons and equipment for his massacre, but he began to get insanely paranoid he'd be arrested before his shooting. This is partially because of his habit of downloading uh Club Penguin videos, which got him a visit from the police.
I'm not joking. A few months before the shooting, he brought a box cutter to school and threatened another student.
This got him in legal trouble and the day of the shooting, he had a court hearing which determined he'd be unable to purchase firearms when he became an adult. Now, you really wouldn't expect this guy to be talked about still [music] a year and something later. He was a loser pedophile that failed in nearly every possible way. But, I still see people talking about him and making edits of him like a lot. So, why is that?
>> Who the [ __ ] is making it No, no, no, no. Actually, we we need to Who is making edits of this guy, bro?
You might genuinely be the the biggest loser. Like like if he's a loser, you're an even bigger loser. Crazy, bro. Why are we praising these type of people?
>> Well, he did a variety of attention-seeking tactics. The first one was making a manifesto. I can't even say the name of it without getting banned from YouTube. I don't think there's a single page in it without a slur. The entire thing is basically just a self-hating black guy hating himself for 50 pages interspersed with unfunny soyjak party memes. He calls Samantha a saintess and reveals she actually followed him on Twitter. Apparently, he told Samantha to record her attack, which got her internet boyfriend really mad at him, making a few tweets about how horrible he was for saying that to her. This part in his manifesto is pretty funny. "Brown people hate me.
Well men hate me. Paul hates me to an extent, and I just want to cry in the corner of my bedroom." Oh my god, Paul hates you? It's over. There's a Q&A section inspired by Brenton Tarrant's manifesto. In one of the questions, he name-drops a bunch of famous people hoping they'll mention him. "Is there a particular groups or people that radicalized you the most?" Candace Owens, Ethan Ralph, Nick Fuentes, Turkey Tom, Reuben Sim, Mr. Beast, Cobs and Toks, Wayne Lambright, iDubbz, Destiny, Hasan [ __ ] >> crazy.
>> To anyone that's not stupid, this was obviously a ploy for attention. But, sadly, there are a lot of stupid people who took this seriously. His plan worked. Just recently, a leftist YouTuber made an entire video blaming Turkey Tom for the shooting. If you're that chronically online >> I got you after this crayon.
>> you believe Turkey Tom has a kill count, you need to log off. Now, onto his journal. Most of it consists of art of various killers and venting about his personal life, like his abusive mother.
There's also an ungodly amount of pictures of him.
>> Uh this is going to sound very weird, bro, but you become a really uncool killer when you're actually [ __ ] studying other killers. You're trying to You're trying to emulate [ __ ] instead of just have a be being like a weird person that has like a mental illness.
Like Like if you're just a weird person that has a mental illness and then you go kill people, okay, that makes sense.
But you're out here purposefully trying to be an oddball, trying to be bizarre, trying to be like a killer. Like you're actually trying to turn yourself into one. Like that's that's so lame, bro. Like Ew. Like Ew.
Like [ __ ] you're not even like This is It's not you. Be yourself, buddy. Like you stop trying to be something you're not, bro. Like the [ __ ] who were born with like mental conditions and their brains are all weird, I understand, but you That's not you.
That's not you. You're You're trying to turn yourself into something you're not.
>> People believe he's the school shooter with the most pictures. And almost all of them are so edgy, posing with guns, wearing a Burzum or Negative XP shirt, cosplaying different shooters, pulling up shitty memes on his phone and showing the camera.
>> Columbine will always be a joke.
>> [singing] >> Columbine will always be a joke.
>> Obviously, he people [clears throat] would find these funny or memeable and post them online. I hate that his plan worked. I hate whenever I see him on my feed. He claimed in his manifesto he wasn't seeking attention, but obviously he was. You don't have an entire manifesto diary and post that many of yourself when you don't want attention.
Here's a personal anecdote of how pathetic this guy was. While I was reading through his journal, I noticed he called someone a groomer. And this someone had the exact same username as one of my friends. So, I ended up messaging my friend asking if it was just a coincidence or if it was really him he was talking about. He told me it was indeed him. It turns out Solomon would obsessively message him trying to be friends, but my friend would just ignore him because he thought he was really unfunny and annoying. Solomon got mad about this and put him in his journal as a way to get back at him. I asked my friend why he never told me this and he said to me, "Well, I just didn't think it was that important."
Which is just brutal. He didn't find him important enough to mention that to me in the past year. We're going to end off this video with someone you probably never heard of, Desmond Holly, the 16-year-old perpetrator of the 2025 Evergreen High School shooting. On September 10th, 2025, he would shoot two students before ending his own life. The students would survive but in critical condition. Two minutes later, Charlie Kirk would be >> Yeah, that [ __ ] look >> [laughter] >> bro, he he look like he mad that he didn't hit puberty. I ain't going to lie, he look like he hit puberty and didn't change, he didn't grow, he didn't get any facial hair and he's just mad at life for that. That's what he looks like to me.
>> assassinated. These two events were totally unrelated. It's just one totally overshadowed the other. I had no idea this even happened until doing research for this video. Before doing the shooting, he'd take a few edgy pictures of himself with the revolver he'd use.
During the shooting, he'd wear a recreation of Dylan Klebold's wrath shirt, a copy of a copy of a copy.
>> Appreciate y'all for watching, bro. If you made this far, I appreciate you for watching. Go ahead and like, comment, subscribe. 40 cents, 40 world. I'm out.
Love y'all.
