It’s appalling to see everything that is going on with violence being brought to schools nowadays.
It seems as if it is a fairly recent thing. Is this what we are to expect with a world whose population is growing larger all the time?
One thing that is interesting to me is when the Columbine shooting occurred; they were playing up on video game violence a lot. If memory serves, at the time they were looking at Doom. It doesn’t seem to be the case with the past two cases that have gone on recently.
The last two seemed like a couple of sick perverts. But honestly, do these guys just seem like everyone else until they snap at the last minute? Or are there some warning signs? How about arming oneself to the tooth. Is that a good indicator?
I’m hoping that teachers who volunteer will be trained to use firearms and will be allowed to wear them in the classroom. I think it is a small deterrent, but a deterrent none the less for those who would be thinking about doing something like this in the future.
