Did you notice how the shooting of the math teacher and the students and the suicide by the shooter in Nevada were not major news? It’s almost routine now. The fatalities weren’t all that high. We’re used to this. And remember, the only thing that can stop a bad 8th grader with a gun is a good 8th grader with a gun. At least I think that’s the N.R.A. slogan.
On another matter, yesterday’s Times News had a small article on page two about a 10-year-old girl in Tamaqua who supposedly choked another student and pulled her hair. The ten-year-old was arrested for harassment. Surely there is a better way to deal with such a situation. Do the police really need to be involved with that?
I’m not even commenting on the parents who have brought suit against the winning team in the lop-sided football game, accusing the winning team of bullying.
Common sense has left the building.
