When it comes to the high school shootings, I think it would be a good study to look at the commonalities in places like Littleton and now in Florida as well as the other places.

They tend to be in well to do areas and are overwhelmingly white. Littleton is not some podunk town in the Denver area, it's full of white upper middle class people. This place is full of middle class white people. I'm not blaming white people or relatively wealthy white people....just looking at commonalities between the shootings and the communities

You don't see this type of carnage in inner city overwhelmingly minority schools....you just don't

You don't see it in the SCHOOLS, but Chicago has enough carnage on a yearly basis to be labeled a military zone.

I agree. I'm not sure where those commonalities get us with regard to fixing this problem, but it's certainly a worthwhile discussion that's largely overlooked imo.
