This will not work.

I'm disgusted, one of the bigger local papers put this
guy's picture on the front page. Not the victims, the
perp. This has been discussed many times many places.

I don't get the paper, but that does suck. Of course many of the Amish are
opposed to having their pictures taken, let alone published in a
newspaper.

But I'd like to hear more about the kids, and less speculation about this
guy's delusional gripes against little girls.

Another story that makes me wonder why I bother watching the news.

Isn't this the third school shooting in a week? Somebody must
have noticed this guy was unstable. That is the thing I don't
understand. You don't just get up ,eat your cheerrios and go out and
blow people away. There had to warning signs. ?? To much reality TV
. Nobody knows what is real anymore. agggh, jill

From the reports so far it doesn't seem like there were any warning
signs.
The guy apparently kept it all inside - which is probably *why* he blew
up.

You can't single out and target kids just for being weird or different.
That is usually why such kids are loners in the first place. Putting
those
kids under the watchful eye of a committee of normie kids will just make
them feel more oppressed.

If kids in school, or adults in society, are making actual threats or
talking about a desire to commit some horrific crime, that should be
taken
seriously, of course.

Even then, what can you do? They will just laugh it off as angry talk.

NO! your right that would be a horrible idea. I think people are
just desperate to do something, anything so this does not happen
anymore.
Did you hear about the woman who wants to take Harry Potter out of
the school library at her kids elementary school? She says it promotes
witch craft which is evil. People are freaked out over this and
there is bound to be a backlash. People are scared.

Yes, I heard about this recently. Again. I can't recall how many times
people have tried this around the country, or rather countries since it has
happened in the U.K., and probably other counties, also.

When are these ninnies going to learn that witchcraft works about as well
as prayer? That is, not at all. I'm tired of people who teach their
children so poorly that they worry about a novel corrupting the kids.

To her credit, J.K. Rowling said she feels honored to be considered among
the likes of Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, J.D. Salinger, etc.

That's nothing... There's a group trying to ban Fahrenheit 451... because
it has "bad" language in it. The spokesman for the group said he's never
actually read the book but he's been told about the language.

Talk about the ultimate irony. People are fucking stupid.
