Gma said this is the 18th and deadliest school shooting THIS YEAR.
Why didn't the other 17 get high media coverage because of the gun. Because they were mostly gang bangers killing each other. Most of them nobody was hurt. That number includes any firearm discharge in a school. It also includes some suicide attempts in school. One had a student death when a gun in a backpack went off unexpectedly. All from an abc news article.

CNN is reporting that the FBI was alerted to social network postings by him back in Sept, where under his own name he said, “Im going to be a professional school shooter.”... He posted numerous pics with firearms and knives, along with images of mutilated animals. He was expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. His mother died last Nov. The attorney of the family that had taken him in, said “they did notice signs of depression”. He passed a background check for the AR.. Geez, I dont know, the obvious solution is to ban the tool used to carry out the crime, because we sure cant hold the 19 yr old shooter, family, friends, teachers, administrators and or “Authorites” accountable.. Oh no, if we did that, we would have to hold People responsible for their actions or lack thereof. good reason not to count on the "authorities" for are protection.

I don't want to hear some adolescent state, "I'm not a squealer"!
That's real juvenile talk, but if it was your butt being shot at school......!
The sheriff made a great statement that if you see and hear or read that someone talks about this, let the authorities know.
I'm sure it would be kept confidential.
This young man had lots of signs, but no one said anything.
Anyone remember the story about the disappearing Jews?
Story: They came for the Jews and Gypsies. I wasn't one, and said nothing.
They came for the Poles, I wasn't one. So I kept my mouth shut.
Then they came for ME! There was no one to help me.
Its not being a squealer (elementary talk), its your civic duty to your friends and family if someone is OFF the deep end!

All schools should have armed guards. I know some retired military people who would love such a job. One of our firearm instructors is a Vietnam vet. He said he would do it almost for nothing. The NRA has been saying this for a while.
I remember the two shooters who said they shot up their school after they were inspired by the movie, Natural Born Killers. And then there was the movie, Basketball Diaries that inspired another school shooting as the shooter mimicked the movie right down to the clothes the shooter wore.
Of course, Hollywooders and people with the common sense of a field mouse, will tell you these movies and society today has no bearing on these shootings. This is mostly correct except there is always the possibility of that one person who associates with something in the movie that motivates him. America is on a slippery slope and unless we make some drastic changes, things are only going to get worse.
A deranged student with a rifle had no problem getting into a school. A student with a bible would have been stopped immediately.

Agreed. People don't want their taxes to go up to pay for it. We should have LEO presence in every school. All schools should have armed guards......

We had cops in my High School and they did absolutely nothing.

We would not have these problems if people showing symptoms of lunacy were kept in straight jackets and round rooms, like the old days. Instead, we give them some medication and make excuses about how society has molded them into a gun-crazed lunatic that cannot be touched until he/she actually does something. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, well, you get the picture. There is some guy (a conservative republican) on a local radio show here today saying we should build new schools with bullet-proof glass, metal detectors at all doors and a buzz-in system with cameras, etc. along with prison-like high walls and razor wire to keep the crazy people out. Seems like it would be a lot less expensive to just lock up the poeple out there spewing mass murder plots, eh?

No, there were plenty of illegal activities going on. The guy would stand in the lunch room and give everyone dirty looks.

You are correct, I work with these people and instead of helping them they just dope them up. When they stop giving them the dope their whole world changes and they are worse off than before they were doped up.

Well no one got killed. Maybe that's as far as his authority went.
