I was coming home from Ash Wednesday services when the story broke. People are going to blame guns, but I saw an interview with a student who knew the shooter. The shooter was removed from regular school and sent to an alternative school. I can bet you there are psych drugs involved. In the focus on guns, this will be swept under the rug. Psych drugs were involved at Sandy Hook, too.

Douglas High School has a guard on duty all the time. This is going to be a big mess.

It always is a big mess.

I agree, it's almost a sure thing this kid was psych drugs of some kind.

Maybe blame the school system itself, for the crushing of the spirit that occurs.

Watch out. The new GOP will probably pass gun control legislation that their communist colleagues could never dream of getting passed.

It's for the children! - The new rallying cry of the GOP.

They'll look into that right after the gun control legislation is passed. They promise.

You willing to take a wager on this one?

You willing to take a wager on this one?

And Paul Ryan will spearhead it.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this happened just when cc reciprocity was starting to look like it might pass again.

2:20 p.m. EST: Shooter shoots fourteen people.
2:24 p.m: Shooter leaves campus.
2:41 p.m: Police arrive on campus
*Somewhere in between* Lone gunman--the one and only perp, according to authorities--arrested and taken to hospital as a "precautionary measure".
5:20 p.m: Children are still being terrorized on that campus, locked down, herded like cattle, paraded out between phalaxes of heavily armed people, and being told to raise their hands and run for their lives.

Gunman was known trouble maker and wacko. Even when they know who they are and what they want to do, they can't do anything about it. All of the edicts, bans and Police state tactics will never prevent every crime. To believe otherwise is to deny reality.

There will never be an end to crime, but I think there are definitely some things government could do at this point.

1. Admit there is a problem. The system has become too big, too diversified (in that resources are diverted away from actual education to data collection and law enforcement), and has become unmanageable.

2. Repeal all federal law requiring government to provide a free and convenient education to every child.

3. Immediately close the Dept of Ed, and send all the money back to the states and communities from which it came and let the states and counties become responsible.

4. States and communites can then be very clear that education is not a right, it is a privilege. Any student or parent who disrupts the process can be excused temporarily or permanently and be left to find their own resources for education whether it's private, home, or a free market alternative.

You got that right. Did you see the footage of the SWAT team clearing a classroom of what looked like younger kids? They were all raising their hands and many of them were obviously shaking so badly they could hardly hold their hands up.
