Schools Shootings = Yawn
Recently a number of children and adults have taken to shooting people in schools as a means to protest the growing educational gap between America’s and our enemies friends in places like India(?) While none of these incidents are remotely as fucked up as that kid in Queens who got beaten, robbed, stripped naked and pissed on outside of his school a few weeks ago, they seems to have struck a chord with the literate populous.
There was a time, say from 1986-1999, when this trend would have disturbed me. But quite frankly, now that I no longer actually attend school, I would rather these psychopaths contain their violence to these areas. I mean, while I’m not actually rooting for anyone or anyplace to be shot up, if a gunman is going to start killing people, I would appreciate it be someplace like a middle school - you know, a place I’m not likely to frequent. Unless i work up the nerve to visit this 13 year old chick I been talking to on Myspace.
Why exactly are kids shooting up schools?
I don’t know, but when they start shooting up public transportation, then I’ll put on my thinking cap and go to work on the problem. The moral of the story is, if you don’t want to get shot, you probably shouldn’t go to school. Or Iraq.

It always irked me that whenever one of this despondent crackers shoots up a school it’s all "breaking national news," but when I was in New Orleans there was one (of more than one) school shooting that stood out to be representative of a deeper problem than, I don’t know, Mary-Anne not wanting to go to Semi-Formal with some herb in a trench coat.
The shooting detailed below, at a school with metal detectors and police officers, was indicative of what was popping in New Orleans. If I remember correctly, the youthful offenders managed to outsmart the metal detectors by passing the AK-47 through a hole in the fence as if it were floodwater passing through a levee.
As some website summarized.
Apr. 14, 2003: Gunmen armed with an AK-47 rifle and a handgun opened fire in the packed gymnasium of John McDonogh Senior High School in New Orleans. Jonathan Williams, 15, was killed and three girls were wounded in a spray of bullets. It was thought to be a revenge killing for an earlier murder. A loaded handgun was found on the victim. Four suspects were arrested.

So while this shooting in an Amish schoolhouse is tragic, there is probably nothing we can learn from it -like most school shootings. Whereas the above incident could have served as a pre-Katrina heads-up that New Orleans = gully.
Who is to blame? Not me.
Also to Consider: Are the Amish and the Hasidic Jews actually the same person? I’ve never seen an Amish person and a Hasidic Jew in the same place at the same time, have you?
