i'm confused here...

a student in wisconsin brought a gun to school and shot to principal several times before being caught by police. this happened two days after the school shooting in colorado, again.

what bothers me is that this kid that shot the principal didn't have a lot of friends and used to make comments about bringing things to the school and hurting others students. and yet they said that this event couldn't be predicted?

if i were in my old high school and made a comment about hurting others there, i'd be busted in about 30 minutes.

why?

because saying stuff like that is serious, and it should be taken seriously. when someone repeatedly says that they're gonna hurt other students, they're not joking, no matter how much it might seem like it at the time. they're seriously thinking about it, and want to watch the reactions of others when they say it.

it just confuses me that it could be seen as normal for a kid to constantly make references to hurting others at his school. but that's just the opinion of a small town california girl.
