You are, of course, right on PMc! Just too good an opportunity not to bring up some sarcasm. Fight... don't wait to be killed.
From somewhere else on SH...
The reality is that all this stupidity from the gun control crowd is, again, failing the main point here. Mental health.
How about a nationwide in-school campaign "Only Retards Shoot at their Classmates" Instead, they make shooting up schools into cool, dark and edgy heroics. That retards want to emulate.
If every third word out of the mouth of the media, classmates, politicians, teachers... was "Retarded kids shoot up schools" or "Joe Smith, the retarded student who just shot up his school..." then it would be something noone would want to be remembered for. These morons want to go out in blaze of glory and be remembered... they don't want to go out in a blaze of "He was a retard anyway." If you don't like the word retard... call them mentally-deficient, drooling-idiots, Brain-damaged... whatever. Because that's what all these people are. Retards.
Instead... the Bloomberg folks got smart this time. They were lying in wait. I don't think anyone 'planned' the FL shooting beyond the retarded shooter. But I think that several organizations, and their very high-powered PR Firms, planned the response. And just needed a spark. This worked perfectly. Except that the event could have been prevented by L.E... but that's simple to deal with. Just ignore it if you are Bloomberg, Soros, Obama, etc. It doesn't happen if the press doesn't report it, right? But Bloomberg hit the jackpot on this one... uber liberal school district. Rich parents who could hire PR firms and would accept advice from liberal lawyers and activists. Students easily organized into Obama Young Pioneers cells... A sheriff who wants fame and will let anyone die so he gets it.
The barrel wasn't even cool before the machine was moving. It was scripted months ago. Just waiting.
Disgusted....
