Yeah... that's a big problem... like the news goes on and on and they have discussion about violence on TV and such, and then go and report school shootings and such, giving anybody who sees them the idea...
What would effect a kid more, seeing a fictional TV show about some kind of murder or big shooting, or hearing about the actual thing on the news?
And what would help kids not copy that? Ripping it off the air completely or *gasp* actually having the parents step in and raise their kids a little better, pay more attention, etc?
But let's not get into that
Oh but to comment on that the person looking at the girl and walkign away... reminds me sorta of the columbine thing where one of the gunmen came across some kid and he was just like "I like you, get outta here" or "I don't have a problem with you" or something and left him alone... But I would think in most school shootings the kids don't wanna just shoot random people (unless maybe they're teachers or students trying to stop them)... you would think if they were doing something really big and really random, they'd wait for class to end and everyone to pour out into the hallways...... although I dunno how it is in some schools... I just know in my middle school the bell rang and the hallways like immeadiately got really packed... Hard to make your way down the hallway with all the kids around and their backpacks on the floor near their lockers, etc...
yep...
