Let's review the facts:7:15 - First shot is fired, in which no gunman is found (I am unsure of whether anyone is hurt) and the nearest educational center is 5 minutes away.8:00 - Classes start, many students don't even know about the initial shot, with some students going as far as to say that they didn't hear about the first shot until 8:30. Despite policemen being unable to find the shooter and the countless places he could have hid being within minutes of walking distance, the incident is deemed "isolated" and forgotten. 9:15 - Second shot, we know the rest. This tragedy was preventable, not preventable enough to limit all casualty, but preventable enough to limit casualty in some form.I the fifth grade, 15 minutes from my school a crazy husband stalked his ex-wife and shot her in the middle of a mall, then killed himself. My school ordered policemen as soon as word of the first shot was fired, and rounded us into the cafeteria with guard at all ends. That's precaution, precaution that turned out to be unneeded but nevertheless praiseworthy.Here, you've got a simpleton looking sheriff, making idiotic and unreasoned claims, that he and the faculty decided a gunshot, unsolved and possibly spreading, was "isolated", not even informing distant students. What the F*ck man.This is a lesson, a lesson in the stupidity of certain leaders and the lesson of what detrimental effect silence from our superiors can do. Blame the gunman first, and blame him unarguably, but put blame on the sheriff, police force, and faculty who decided not to put safety first. As my insightful mother once stated, "It's better to have something and not need it that need it and not have it."Here, her philosophy was proven. Leaders decided they didn't want to take proper action, and in the end, they needed it.Oh, how so they needed it.
