Columbine




With any tragedy, we want to immediately assess blame so that we can distance ourselves from the source of the tragedy. Directly following the blamed targets comes its publication in all digital and print media. It is a small amount, but I have noticed a few in the media not giving the shooter's facebook image and murder stats quite as readily as had been done in the past. Also helpful would not be necessarily arming individuals in the field of education who do not have the training of soldiers or police, but assisting these teachers, counselors, coaches and administrators to recognize mental illness or aberration. Weapons are a bandaid, but knowledge can provide both the cure and prevention.
