I think the guy needs go to jail for ten years. What if an armed teacher had overheard the conversation? The potential for a deadly accident was there. Or even if the school employee had tried to physically attack the terrorist? Kids could have gotten injured. Or there could have been a panic and kids could have gotten injured.<br />

No, what the guy did was a serious crime. Stupidity is an explanation not an excuse.

"Armed teacher?" LOL! I <i>wish</i>. He demonstrated the need for armed teachers. Instead, the weapons-free zone applies to teachers AND police on school grounds. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.<br />

Now everyone knows that schools are the places to shoot up for maximum emotional response and body count before a retaliatory weapon arrives. It will remain that way until we allow faculty to carry arms or put armed guards at every school. Which is more likely to happen?
