Copy cat crimes. For some reason these kids think they are going to go down in the history books. It's a shame isn't it.jtee said:In the book "The Tipping Point" they discuss the issue of "Social" epidemics. A social epidemic like one this is when when one event (Collegehigh school shootings) start become more common.
The issue is not that lack of laws, such as gun control, it is social barrier has been breached, and others feel they have been given permission to carry out such acts because one or more persons have already done it.

You can't really stop them from going to college, it's happening everywhere ...random shootings in malls, etc..that's what's so scaryljmahr said:I have been thinking and listening alot about this. We live about 25 miles from Champaign where the guy was attending school. The big question everyone has around here is why did he go back to NIU? Why didn't he do this in Champaign-Urbana? It is so sad. I keep thinking about what it will be like when my kids go to college. Somehow this has got to stop or I will not let my kids go.
I've considered holing up and never coming out again. Seriously.hawtmama said:You can't really stop them from going to college, it's happening everywhere ...random shootings in malls, etc..that's what's so scary

They found a gun on a little elementary school kid in our town. I hate sending my son to school every day.
