The mainstream media was, of course, beside itself with glee about the disaster, interrupting regular 'programming' to show closeups of crying parents, and pushing the totally false idea that it was all a result of gang violence. We could almost see school officials across the country nodding their heads in agreement, and planning on even stricter enforcement of their dress codes banning hats in school. Predictably, the pundits immediately tried to link what happened to the Internet, claiming that the 'bombs' - none of which ever actually exploded - were based on designs obtained online. If only the murderers had watched TV instead, maybe none of this would have happened. The hysterical, self-serving reaction of the mainsteam media should, as always, be dismissed out of hand. But what do intelligent people think about all the killings? Is there anything we can do to decrease the likelihood of further mass murders?
