However this article has some very valid points in that some "loners" aren't comfortable being approached and included and doesn't necessarily mean they're potentially violent and in need of intervention. But by not approaching the "loner" and that person does commit a violent crime, it would be the victims fault for not intervening? That is victim shaming. And these are also kids....

More gun control would accomplish more to reduce the deaths of our children than a "be my friend" campaign.....imo that is....
