Ok first we all have teased people in school and been teased right?
Second everyone has thought about killing someone at one point in time.
Third hopfully none of us did.
I think this falls back on the parents, if my father saw me putting
together a pipe bomb or amassing a great quainty of gun powder he probly
would of paddled my ass and asked questions latter. How could a parent be
so blind (warning signs). There is one thing for sure all the metal
detector, tranning, and crap won't amount to nothing when they wait till
schools out and do a drive by, or sit on top of a hill and pick us off one
by one like a sniper. Nothing will bring thoese kids back or heal the
scars the ones living will have for the rest of their lives. Its a very
sad thing that happened but it all could of been stoped if the parents
would of been more interested in what went on with their kids.
