It’s pretty obvious who is the villian this week. After all the investigations are said and done, the suspected shooter had a choice and he chose death over life. Everything else is just excuses and bad drama.
The heroes may not be as obvious. One student had the prescence of mind to barricade the classroom door, which most definitely saved his fellow classmates. The media will find other fine examples, I’m sure.
I don’t know what else to say. I’m also uncomfortable filing this under the pre-designated categories. So I’ll just end this here, file it here, and keep an eye on the news like everyone else.
UPDATE: Balls! Did I say I would watch the media for reliable objective news?
Specfically today, there is something over-the-top being heard in some of the reports that this shooting today is the “deadliest” in American history. Also, incorrect information is being shared. These newspeople are misreporting on the profiles and the changes in it. Cable news earlier this afternoon misrepresented that this is an American-only problem. During the early evening, I just watched a report on CNN saying that the few historical non-American school shootings have been done by adult non-students.
