#1 Shot himself in the head and still flung the gun far enough away to be mistaken for a victim? Of course it could happen, but the likelihood seems low.

#4 The obvious (to Democrats) solution to tragedies like this is to work harder to take away guns from legal gun owners.

..or someone kicked it away before the authorities could be on site.

#6 Another fine product of our wonderful public school system, where indoctrination is more important than education and job training is non-existent. Why make these kids sit in what resembles a prison more than anything until they are 17 or 18 years old when they still won't be qualified for any kind of job that some illegal alien hasn't already taken? No wonder they get pissed off and alienated.

Well, in the case of home-schoolers, its called domestic violence and doesn't raise the same flags....

#9 I mean, you never ever hear about a shooter in a private or Christian school.

#10 In fairness, public schools have to take everybody while private and parochial or Christian schools can expel anyone who doesn't measure up to their standards. That's not really what I'm bitching about. My problem is that we keep kids down and treat them like children for far too long and when they finally get out of high school they haven't been prepared for the real world. The program should be a lot shorter but a lot more rigorous. Let the kids grow up instead of treating them like children. Face the fact that not all high school kids are going to college and teach them how to do other jobs. Either that or else subsidize them when they go to private vocational schools instead of keeping them in high school where they learn nothing that will ever be useful to them.

But in California, the biggest problem is the teachers' unions. They would very effectively resist any change that required their lazy, ignorant members to update the curriculum and make it relevant to reality.

And we need to face facts when a student can't hack it. Do not let them stay in that environment and become disruptive because it isn't fair to the others who are putting forth the effort. I don't know what you do with the dropouts but you can't keep trying to mainstream them when it's obviously not working.
