We need to hurry up and ban guns and put a stop to all of this.
Y'all do realize this kind of stuff is stuff that happens at a giant high school. With so many people, they are going to hve some flakes.
It is likely things like this also occurred at say - Carmel High School in Indiana (randomly selected because it is also big), but you will not be hearing about it on the news.
Carmel is one of the if not the wealthiest nicest burb of Indianapolis and an outlier from the median.
1.) Free-market private schools. Competition provides better service, more cheaply and efficiently.
2.) Deregulate home-schooling. Home-schooled kids test better than government-schooled kids.
3.) Charity schools. Those unable to afford private schools or homeschooling can depend on benevolent charities. It was commonplace in this country back in the day:
1 is a mixed bag.
2 The outcome is because parents who do this have a far higher than median interest in their kids.
3 Not practical en masse in todays 300+M people. The 1700s are not the 2000s.
Columbine High was/is in an affluent area, too. Michael Moore of "Bowling for Columbine" fame said about ten years ago that at least some of the blame can be placed on prescription mood-altering drugs. Quite a turnaround for a guy said that the gun culture in the U.S., was primarily the reason for the Columbine massacre, or that was what he implied at least, I think.

Only one ( Harris) of the two Columbine shooters was taking an SSRI. Neither had a history of being medicated. Both had engaged in violent behaviors prior to Harris being diagnosed/ medicated.
Both were likely psychopaths ( a genetic or biological disorder) and made choices. The Columbine shooting and suicides were long planned and documented before the big day- not the outcome of a sudden disengagement with reality.
So called “ normal†people do not engage in mass shootings. Should come as no surprise that some mass shooters had prior diagnosis’s that resulted in being medicated.

Blame public schools and offer home schooling and private schools as a solution.....and neither claim is supported by any explanation.
The Austin bomber was a home-schooled kid. A white, home-schooled conservative Christian.....and a murderer. I think our issues are more complicated than just blaming a certain type of school (public).
Yesterday a student was arrested for posting a picture of himself on social media brandishing a gun and ammunition and a making a threat against a specific student.
Another student was arrested for bringing a knife to school which she pulled on a fellow student after dumping cereal on his head.
Another student was arrested for brandishing a knife on a school bus.
Another student identified an SRO sleeping in his squad car on school property.
700 students were absent.
The Governor has deployed 8 hwy patrol officers to the school.
But, but, but all the students protested!
Looks like it was a just an excuse for a day out of class!
Nope, you've been conditioned to live in Leviathan's idea of a world where only government can provide school, or roads, or utilities, or whatever. You've been conned.
