School shootings stopped?
 

There seemed to have been a long list up until the start of last year, then they just... stopped.




Jinxed?

get some fresh air wannabe greek

Scott Peterson is more exciting to the media right now.

Kids are still getting kidnapped too, but it's not the story of the week anymore. :)

LOL, I thought this post is about shooting schoolgirl - content :-)

Someone please tell me what the point of this thread is?

he wants to start shooting

Vote for Bush in 2004, he stopped all the school shootings!

oh heck.. might as well load my boys up armed to the teeth and send them to school tomorrow.. not enough drama happening for some people i guess..:ak47:

There been school shooting way back before columbine

even had a few when i was going to school

Nah - the Matrix geeks bought all the black raincoats.

Otherwise known as trenchcoats.

What if GOD was one of us?

goth is now uncool - trenchcoat sales went down

emo is now cool - i bet zoloft sales went up

God is Brazilian

I have two theories:

1. The geeks have gone back to what they used to do before school shootings became ubiquitous, that is, committing suicide.

2. The geeks are now dropping out of regular school and getting their education from an on-line school.

give it time... manson's new cd hasn't even been out a month yet.

I know I shouldn't take the bait on this but . . .

The kids who shot things up in Columbine did not consider themselves gothic. They did not like gothic music. They did not dress in gothic fashions. They did not like Marilyn Manson.

They were given prescription medications by supposedly trained psych professionals.

The media just felt that calling it a gothic mansonite plot would be easier for the average person to get his or her brain around than explaining complex subcultural issues. Now the public is bored of hearing about pissed-off school kids so the media is covering something else.

People's ignorance on the topic makes me want to listen to Dashboard Confessional and shoot people.

That was just Eric Harris. I don't think Klebold was ever on psych drugs.

What's even funnier is that the media would call them "nazis" even though Dylan Klebold was a Jew!

Gawd I hope so.. I'm tired of getting blamed for all of them.

Maybe Eric Harris was the nazi and Dylan Klebold was the gothic one. Sheesh. I swear, down to the most minute detail, every piece of coverage on that whole situation was defective. You'd think people would stop and think about promoting being nicer to each other after something like that. Two kids are tormented until they snap that hard, if I were a teacher, I would be extra-alert for any kind of abusiveness in my classroom. No, they were more on the lookout for any black T-shirts instead.
