It's really sad, and frieghtning [thats not spelt right...] to see this happen. And with what Heather said about the student being mentally unstable as it was before he got kicked out of school, its almost as if you do have to worry everywhere these days. You never know about kids and what is going on in their brains. thats why when i see kids at school being tormented constantly i feel sorry for them, because someday something may go of in thier heads thinking that bringing a gun [or any other kind of weapon] to school and 'getting rid of thier problems' would help.
its so sad. and the thing is, that some of these kids who do this stuff ARE tormented constantly and this is the way the feel they can escape the stuff that is being said and possibly done to them.
but there is also cases [ie VA tech] where the kid was just mentally insane and felt it was 'his destiny' to kill so many innocent people.
My school [high school] policy for intruders [im guessing that shootings comes under this as well, i dont read the handbook] is that we stay in our classes, get bunched up in the corner away from the door, and if were all ok put a sign in the window. -.- we have NO plan, plus the windows dont even open up enough to jump out of. so were basically all dead if something happens.
I personally think they should be making it harder for people to get guns. i know theres the gun licence thing, but are the people getting the licences being mentally evaluated before...?
even so, kids im sure are stealing them from people they know who have them.
its all such a racket.
But is such a shame to see things happen to innocent people
