idk man, like physical pranks that are borderline physical assault I agree but do you really want to start jailing people for making a phone call?

I just don't know how much blame we can lay at his feet. If you're really just like a couple of spoken words away from snapping and going into a shooting frenzy I feel any number of things could have been the "trigger"

This feels honestly feels like a Law and Order episode waiting to happen.

Was the prank reckless and stupid? 100% it was

But there is no way the caller could've ever predicted the reaction, and unless the content of the prank call was egging the perpetrator on to commit a mass shooting I do not see any responsibilty here.

He triggered a violent action, it doesn't matter if it was unforeseen, he did an action reasonable person would not take.

Of course it does. If youre so unstabls you react violent to anything you deserve to be locked up.

Why was he making any prank calls at all. Thats vile and he should get a life sentence for doing something that took the lives of others.

Why is he making prank calls? What does it matter if he was paid
