I hate talking about shootings because everyone always says the same things... like, I don't understand why anyone would ever do this, I'm shocked, never thought it could happen this close, etc. People need to realize that this can happen anywhere at any time. Schools are not safe, no where is "safe." Crazy people can be anywhere. Hope that isn't too shocking for you guys. And I don't really think that the masculinity thing is much of a factor. The majority of shootings are done by people who have been made fun of or rejected by others. So instead of living in fear of being shot or thinking that shootings are just done by masculinity crazed men, maybe we should try to get along and accept each other. We could make sure that people are accepted and don't feel like they are hated and discriminated against. I'm not saying this would solve anything, but I know it would help. Just a thought.
