One way to control these terrorists is to nip it in the bud.

I’m thinking of the guidelines around Tarasoff in determining risk here. Did they honestly believe this little girl had the means and intention to do harm? The hyper vigilance caused by the Sandy Hook tragedy is alarming. Its important that school staff take threats seriously, but not seriously out of context. Her intention was to attack the student, who was a friend, with bubbles. How can the school discipline a 5 year old PERIOD for an incident taken SO out of context? I don’t think this is a ‘looney liberal’ thing as much as its just looney, period.

Different issue all together, Andy. Hypervigillance isn’t just a problem in the schools, but everywhere. There’s, unfortunately no way to shove Jack back into the box. But to indulge you’re comment, I think we need to spend less time focussing on the shortcomings inside the classroom and start looking at the shortcomings inside the homes. Our education system isn’t nearly as screwed up as our families in America are. We expect schools to do what parents should be doing and then demonize them for not ‘fixing’ the children we screwed up raising.

Like the NRA telling members that the government is coming for their guns when controls are discussed.

Or like Obie demanding more gun control while the bodies of those poor children were still warm.

Yeah, he said it was clear that doing nothing at all was not an alternative and that was at the eulogy for the murdered people. You find that objectionable?

They weren’t warm. The guy with the assault weapon made sure of that.

Sorry Groucho, but no assault weapon or self loading rifle used at Sandy Hook.

Andy, by your logic George W. Bush’s response to 9-11 was ‘an agenda’..
