Greg Graffin is a very open-minded person who writes songs about serious issues, one of which is a generation of kids that exists now that feel misunderstood. I guess they are all put under the umbrella of emo, and they take a lot of shit from people for expressing their anger and frustration in a manner that the rest of society is not used to.
This song is not about shooting up a school, its just about how people can be assholes to others to the point of driving their subjects crazy enough to react in a way similar to the columbine attacks.
You say "BR is better than that," but what's to be better than? Is it suddenly not punk if you understand what people go through when they are ridiculed in life?
