Why aren't these stories making the national media headlines? (Macon: crime, private school)

[Billy Clinton]

3 Northeast students charged with weapon possession - Living - Macon.com

No students implicated in gun found at Westside High School - Breaking News - Macon.com

Student brings gun to Howard High - Education - Macon.com

Central students released on bond - Crime & Courts - Macon.com

Northeast rape charges dropped - Local & State - Macon.com


This has all happened in Macon within the last month.

Because nobody really cares. Sad but true. If it happened in a suburban area the the parents would be rioting in the streets and the media would bite. In Macon, a majority of those who care send their kids to private school. The majority in public school are actually under some illusion that their schools "be doing a goods job". Go figure...they just are too stupid to realize how unacceptable the schools are. I don't have kids but I would pop a tent in Houston or Monroe county before I would let a child step foot in a Bibb public middle or high "skool".
