The shooting was the fourth at a U.S. school within a week.
On Feb. 8, a woman shot two fellow students to death before committing suicide at Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge. In Memphis, Tenn., a 17-year-old is accused of shooting and critically wounding a fellow student Monday during a high school gym class, and the 15-year-old victim of a shooting at an Oxnard, Calif., junior high school has been declared brain dead.

You know, ktspktsp and I have received constant news of car bombings and assassinations from Lebanon, every 2-3 months for the last 3 years... where the killings actually have a purpose
(not saying I approve of the purpose or method AT ALL, but it can't be denied that there is actually an objective being carried out). I mean, we're talking about the Middle East there.
And then I get this kind of news from the US, where you're not supposed to have to worry about being a victim of that kind of random violence as a college student. I mean, WTF? What is so fucked up with our country that we have bastards like this walking into schools and shooting people, for NO FUCKING REASON??
If these individuals had been born in the Middle East instead of the US, would they have become suicide bombers instead? Is this some kind of pathological thing that would happen anywhere these people were born, or is it something about the US that makes these *type* of killings unique? Why guns? Why university campuses? Christ.
