Taken from EW's Interview with Ryan Murphy:

So is Tate’s reason for the school shooting mostly Beau’s death and his hatred for his mother?
Yes. Well, I think it’s more than that. I don’t think his motivations were as sinister and dark and f***ed up as Dylan Klebold for example. I do think Tate was probably someone who was bullied and made fun of. What he has done in many ways, all of it is in retaliation of Constance. She had several children and he was “the most beautiful” and she had such high expectations and needs and wants and probably wanted him to fill some of her own dreams and ambitions and he was just not gonna have it. We show him doing a lot of crystal meth. That’s what he’s doing, coke and crystal meth, before the shooting. I think his massacre became even worse because of the drug taking.

What do you guys think? I just think it's not enough. I was expecting something deeper...

    True Bynsky. I guess I was just looking for something to clear Tate. I guess I am just too gaga over him. /swoon.

    here's my 2 cents....

    Tate's mother murders his father and the maid, they have to move out of the "murder house"... they buy a house nearby and his mother starts having an affair with the current owner of the house. His older brother with "elephant man syndrome" or whatever is killed by his mother's lover, his sister has Down's, and we still have NO CLUE about his other 1-2 siblings. (thought Constance said she had 5 babies) Then, his mother's lover's wife burns up herself and their 2 daughters, and there is no issue with the fact that his mother, sister & himself move back into the "murder house" as if everything is peachy. Oh, and Tate's mother is a verbally abusive alcoholic.... and he is depressed & takes drugs.

    Nah.... he shouldn't be screwed up enough to shoot up the school....

    :wink:

    yes, I understand, you're looking for a specific reason like a bully or message or whatever.... but I don't think there is one other than our pretty boy Tate is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

    i just love tate even after everything he has done lmao
    i agree i think she said 5 everyone says 4 though so either we are both crazy or who knows lmao

    I think Tate's just ****ed up. Her other children were physically deformed, I think he was messed up on the inside. And then his upbringing certainly didn't help. Have you noticed Constance? Not someone who should be raising children :laugh:


    Constance definitely had only 4 children, one is still unknown. One theory is that the Tate is a twin, and his twin is the one that shot up the school/his twin took the wrap for the shooting (which would explain why he didn't recognize the Dead Breakfast Club.)


    There's other theories out there on the internet that he's not actually Tate-Tate but a manifestation of the house's evil.
