Columbine
I hope we have learned from this 5 year past and done what we can as a nation to stop gun violence not just in schools, but in society as a whole.
And I don't mean stop just physically... metal detectors in schools, police handcuffing kids.
I mean mentally as well... education and understanding.
Physically is just half the battle. Going the physical route only teaches kids that violence solves problems. And if police are seen as figures to uphold the law, then this will teach some juvenile delinquent to go out and stock up on ammo because there will always be outlaws.
It's not just kids that need to be taught by the teachers and principal's announcements over the intercom... parents need to know the signs about when their child is going to commit an act of violence.
It's called adult supervision folks. As hitch pointed out in his controversial thread at the old DLRarmy domain, it's lack of attention, support, and displayed caring that will cause the kid to feel neglect.
Do you think we've accomplished anything since?
