Thank you very much for your reply! You touch on another very important point, which is that of the court disposal of either actual offenders or, potential shooters, like LaDue. Terrorism increasingly gets conflated with the distinct phenomenon of mass violence, especially as concerns the courts and legislative frameworks used to prosecute. I thought your article was excellent indeed!

You talked about adolescents like Harris having a terrorist mentality. Do you think that the cultural script that Columbine popularised is being influenced by jihadist scripts? Also, what do you think of the Newman et al thesis of the social roots of school shootings? Thank you!
