We're All Insane · I Was a School Shooter · 5 Jul 2026 podcast

I don't get paid to be here right now.

You know, I'm literally doing this because this is why I'm not killing myself today.

you know this is why i i stay alive purpose this is what gives me purpose you know this isn't how i make money i don't benefit off of this by any way except to know that i'm making a positive difference for some people and that's it that's why i'm i keep pushing forward yeah you know

Yeah, and that's one of the biggest things is when law enforcement or mental health specialists are dealing with a person of concern who they think might be on the pathway to violence is what they call it, right?

De-escalation is always possible.

And we want people to always know that just because somebody is maybe on the wrong path, is on the dark path, we can always get them off the path.

And I try to say, hey, you know, I'm somebody who did get to the point of violence and attack.

But if I'm able to turn my life around, so can anybody else.

Yeah, I tell teachers all the time, right, because I'm able to talk with some teachers and administrative folk from schools.

And I'm like, yeah, sometimes the smallest bits of, you know, compassion can make a huge difference in somebody's life.

You never know what other people are going through.

And that simple act of compassion and being able to like be that person who just simply says something about like, you know, hey, if you ever want to talk or simply just opening up a little bit to a student.

Checking in.

You'll never know what you're able to affect in somebody's life.

None of us know truly how much we affect other people's lives.

And if we want to affect other people's lives, we want to do it through compassion as much as possible.

And obviously, I've done a lot of harm.

But today, like that's why I try to do what I can as much as possible.

I try to stay positive when I can.

It's hard in today to stay positive.
