“Tough Guys” Who Shoot People at Schools


The news recently is filled with the “daily school shooting.”
What is it that makes someone shoot unarmed kids and adults in a school?
Is our society so incredibly sick???
Do these people realize what cowards they are?
Do they think that they appear tough?

Since I work at a school, and I am recently required to sit at the front entrance for part of the day, I have taken notice of this disturbing trend. It isn’t necessarily in the inner-city schools either. It is more often a rural thing.

Where I work, I have suggested a security entrance.

This request was ignored. Instead, an untrained “guard” is stationed near the entrance, “armed” with a walkie-talkie. This is done largely because of how funding is allocated. Instead of using money to install a security entrance, much more money is ultimately spent to employ a person to sit at the door and potentially be shot to death if an intruder ever does come along.

I digress…

Those who take out some personal vendetta against unarmed people and unarmed schoolchildren are among the biggest cowards possible. How tough does one have to be to shoot an unarmed child to death?
