Anyone thats gone to college in the last ten years would know that there a million ways to get around nightwatch or whatever system they want to install. The bottom line is if a psycho wants to shoot up a school they are going to. And maybe instead of looking for bandaid solutions to these sort of problems we should look at what made this kid feel so alienated and go from there.

I'm a prime example of video games, music and movies NOT having a direct effect on someone's actions. I should have shot up about eight schools by now, but instead I'm married with a baby on the way. One in a billion aren't good odds for a correlation, I'm waiting for the day people realize this.
