School Shootings

[Space05us]

are there any school stabbings or anything like that over in England?

Very rarely. The only thing similar was the Dunblane massacre, where a seemingly mentally-unstable 30-something went ape in a junior school, but that's not really comparable to students and pupils bringing guns into class. Other than that, not really.

I think students know summer vacation is coming up and they don't want to leave school. They actually like school. That is my theory for the school shootings in spring

But seriously despite this past incidence. School shootings of other kids isn't "cool" anymore. I know that sounds sick, but kids go with what is popular. And shooting fellow students was cool in the 90's. Now the focus seems to be on the teachers and administators for some reason. That's the "in" thing.

out of curiosity, was the perpetrator another lonely suburban white kid?

no...and I had a link to him...sort of. A friend of mine who lives out in that area was very good friends with his mother. Apparently, the night before, she went out to dinner with his mother, and she showed her pictures and said what a happy bright vibrant young kid he was. From what I've been hearing from her, the kid had no disciplinary issues, no grade problems, and no gripes with the principal.
