That's insight into one moment of the shooter's whole life. Who knows what else they went through. He had "developmental delays and special needs" and his mom kidnapped him and took him to Norway when he was 11, according to New York Post.
That said, shaming a child isn't a very effective way to correct behavior or make them a well-adjusted adult. I did not benefit at all from being shamed, and now I shame myself internally as a habit, though I'm working on that :')
People with good self esteem don't throw their life away by mass murdering innocents. From what I've read, the communities that urge their members to do RW terrorism do so by convincing them that their life has no worth and they "might as well" go out in "glory". I'd rather inoculate my theoretical children from that, and instilling guilt just makes it easier to break them down.
