If you must have a student shooter in your examples, there were plenty of others in the 80's, and before, that got coverage. |
No, I was saying I agreed incidents like this didn't "seem" to exist 20 years ago because of a lack of news coverage, not because it didn't happen. Play on words.
More freaks come out of the woodworks when the coverage increased, sure. But, as the wiki site outlined, school shootings have clearly happened for more than the last 100 years, let alone 20. Which was the first point of posting the wiki page and the point of about three other posters after, I was repeating the thought in my own way, cp way, where several posters say the same thing several times like they were the first to say it.
Jeez it loses it's effect when you have to explain it.....
