How about taking some responsibility and taking your kids HOME where the belong. I see lots of kids and parents milling around the area.

Who the f*ck are these idiot reporters interviewing children?! And the even more reprehensible stations airing these interviews of already traumatized children and their parents?

Despicable!

School shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Starting with the Pontiac school massacre (in the 1700's) and it continues on from there.

From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the United States saw a sharp increase in guns and gun violence in the schools.

Your right

Unless you adjust that the country has grown from 3.9 million in 1790 to 313 Million today.

or adjust that the media in the 80s had more capability to report national than media in the 1800's


Your chance of dying in a spree killing is a lot less than being hit by lighting.



and you can also note that Gun violence has decline since the high of 1990's, the same for all homicide rates in the united states. Quit cherry picking.

They are reporting 26 people dead now, including 18 children.
You can MAKE a gun in your own house out of sheet metal. You going to make youtube illegal too since that's where they have videos on how to do it.
