This one's a bit more than an hour away from me. Local news reports the shooter (HS freshman) is dead...and possibly one other fatality. (not reported in the linked story)

The news station was interviewing a student by phone earlier. He said the shooter had been in a fight a few days ago...maybe up to a couple of weeks ago...with another student who had called him some kind of racist slur.

Don't know many details yet...

Targeted murder, not random act of violence. Does not qualify as school shooting like the ones we saw before

That remains to be seen...no word on whether any of the victims were the ones the kid had the altercation with or not.

In any event...students were shot at a school by another student...therefore it qualifies as a "school shooting."

Is it an actual school shooting or a bunch of thugs settling a score? Big difference.

This is why I love Twitter. Already know who the shooter is and that he's completely nuts. :thumbsup:

Hmm, black guy. That's different. School shootings are usually the domain of the crazy white guy.

Ummm... No. Native American guy.

The shooters last name ends in berg.

I thought he was maybe Jewish. No?

No they think talking shit makes them look cool. That habit is about 100 years old, at least in America.

The only difference now is we have a permanent record that anybody on the planet can see, instantly.


Although I will admit it, before we had easy access to porn, kids didnt talk quite so much in graphic detail about sex.
Like that comment about pulling on hair. Normally virgins dont know that stuff.

Of course, 4chan is even worse. You've got virgins talking about the freaky shit most grown ups dont even know about.
