: The school shooting near San

March 05, 2001

The school shooting near San Diego has me really shaken up. After Columbine, this California school

system reacted by training 20,000 students how to deal with this sort of crisis, by putting the principal

through SWAT training, by instructing the teachers on how to respond to shootings in the school, and by

having local police come up with contingencies in case of such an event. The result: When a student decides

to shoot up his school, they respond quickly and efficiently and have counciling and help available for the

victims and their families.

How fucked up is that? Who cares how quick and effiecient and

media-friendly your response is, when two people are dead and there's nothing that was done to avoid it?
