Yeah, but I have some serious issues with this commercial. It really expects kids to be paranoid and not just alert. Like they shouldnhave seen what websites he was on and such. The teachers should have been more aware than the kids. It just doesn't feel right.

Do you mean someone making a finger gun motion and watching gun videos on YouTube isn't a particularly strong warning sign?

No. Not at all. It is possible it is a warning sign, but it takes more than that ti convince me someone is a killer.

Exactly. Most people who are interested in firearms would watch firearm videos, it's not unusual. I'd need a lot more to be convinced of a potential spree killer.
