Seems odd to me

My puzzlement is the news agency constantly using very minor phrases to what the shooter was getting as a 'punishment'. IE 'scolding' and 'reprimand'. These both seem trivial for a response to pull a gun and wipe out your entire family. Then following it up with the 'healing of the community'. As though this was not a spark of emotion but something a long time coming.
The shooter's brother used the phrase 'punished'. Not either verbal types of correction. So why do I feel like the father had been hitting the boy or other wise correcting him, prior to the shooter snapping and responding violently. And the media is trying to show the shooter as a deranged and evil soul?

Guessing the media is trying to show him as an evil soul because he pumped bullets into lots of innocent people. Evil is as evil does.

Seriously, WTF dude?

Oh I get he was bad. He wiped out all but his little brother and only missed him because said brother managed to run. I can't tell if he shot the pregnant woman deliberately or was a stray shot as he was shooting at said brother.
The part that seems off to me isn't the violence. It is the down play of 'punishment'.

Like me telling you. "You are bad for disobeying me! You are in so much trouble mister!" And then gun play? It does not add up. The escalation is disproportionate. Hence why I am wondering if the media is down playing the punishment and referring to it as a scolding to make the shooter more of a monster? And thus get more views.

Let's be fucking honest. Mass shootings rarely add up in any coherent way. What did Sandy Hook do to Adam Lanza? Most likely, nothing. Punishment could plausibly mean anything from taking away his Xbox for a week to a beating. Why would he feel the need to shoot the whole rest of his family if it was just the father? I seriously doubt a 13 year old would be involved in anything.

All that's missing is a grassy knoll.
