It's coming. It's not "if" but "when".

In response to Wednesday's school shooting in Florida, high school students and teachers across the country are planning walkouts this spring to push Congress to act on guns.
On Twitter, students used the hashtags #NationalSchoolWalkout, #April20 and #April20Walkout to plan mass boycotts on the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting on April 20, 1999, as well as a separate walkout on March 14. Thousands have signed a petition from the Twitter account "National School Walkout.
"Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day," they wrote.
It's a call to action from a demographic that has been vocal during this week's tragedy. Twitter accounts from classmates of those killed on Wednesday featured strong words for anyone who doubted the need for gun laws. In a response to a tweet from President Donald Trump offering "thoughts and prayers" for the victims, a student of the high school tweeted: "Why was a student able to terrorize my school mr president."

Might be me getting old and cynical, but I thought it interesting of all the days of the year, they pick the one that you are supposed to “celebrate” by getting high and smoking weed.

Why should anybody care about this? STUDENTS walking out of class? If they want to remain stupid and indoctrinated, nobody can stop them.

my point. Blame the President when it is the FBI, local law enforcement, the school and the guardians that failed them.

If by "this" you mean irrational thought, it's a good thing we have a written Constitution.
