Wussies afraid to stand up for themselves and have an old school fist fight in the parking lot. Instead they want to bring a gun. Further proof of the growing pu$$ification of America

Maybe the reasons people shoot up their schools is the same reasons gangs shoot up their own neighborhoods?

You have got to be kidding me. Incidents like this are completely random and so uncommon they mean absolutely nothing statistically.

1 dead, 4 wounded in shooting at Cleveland-area high school
You don't know any of that yet. You don't know that he was indisriminate at all in his shooting. Maybe the students he shot bullied him and made his life miserable. Maybe he knew exactly who he was shooting. Maybe he had complained to the school administration in the past and they did nothing which is the usual course of action even when teachers complain about bully students. Maybe he was totally justified in his mind to "take care of the problem" himself.

But you are right this a small "rural" community just like mine... 4,000 +/-, or course I'm not sure how being 1.5 miles from Philadelphia and not a cornfield in between makes us rural just based upon population, but your right Chardon has trees separating it from Plainsville, Ohio.

I guess its the way this long islander looks at numbers....the population of my 'village' is 40k which is part of the "town" of hempstead with a population of 759k...which is a suburb of NYC

so when somebody says population of 5k (less than the population of the of the school age kids in my village) (8k (according to the school report))...I think of rural.....

guess it all depends on where in the country
