The gene pool could do better than your special brand of piss as well. Follow suit.

According to the Wikipedia list, there were nine school shootings in the entire decade from 1910-1919. By contrast, there have been 21 so far just this year.
Our population has quadrupled since then, so even if we quadruple the older figure as well, that's still going from 3.6 per year, to 21 per year, and this year isn't even over yet. I'd say we can cut him a little slack on the 'unheard of' comment. |

In this country, school shootings have been happening since the 1700's, and kids have been popping one another in schools since at least as far back as the 1800's. |

You want to try that one again? BTW, if you're trying to refer to the fact that the Stockton shooter was an adult, I get that, but I was noting that school shootings were already widely known and that one led to the assault weapons ban. If you must have a student shooter in your examples, there were plenty of others in the 80's, and before, that got coverage. Last edited by Just Passin' By; 12-14-2013 at 01:18 AM.. |

Adults who are just off their ****ing rockers and think it's a great idea to gun down innocent students make me far angrier about these kinds of stories. |

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..... |

Because you guys are jumping all over a specific and ignoring the point (that I think) he was trying to make. School shootings have gotten a lot worse than they had been - yes, they existed back in Ye Olden Days, but look at the dramatic increase in recent years. It's not their existence that's new, it's their terrible and increasing frequency. |
