Copy cat crimes have always been a problem.
I think constant media coverage inspires the nuts.
Just a couple of days after the Sandy Hook shootings a legal analyst of FOX (Black guy, former cop but I can’t remember his name) he said pretty much the same. Too much attention will inspire others who want to be famous.

How realistic should school shooting drills be?
...In the upstate New York town of Hudson Falls, police in body armor carried unloaded weapons and negotiated with an acting hostage-taker Monday during a drill at an elementary school, including younger students, in what had been a middle- and high-school exercise before December's shooting of 20 first-graders and six adults in Newtown, Conn.
Advertising works.
I’m not even a fan of the grief counseling they put kids through these days. It makes the traumatic event the central event in their lives.
Kids are amazingly resilient after a traumatic event and the best thing to do is make the kids feel safe in the home while letting them work through things.
... The tragedy that played out in an Aurora movie theater Friday was ironically paralleled as a classroom learning experience in a medical school in Parker the same day.
Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine is in the middle of holding specialized classes in disaster life support for 150 second-year medical students. Along with response to natural disasters like hurricanes and floods and terrorist attacks, one of the scenarios being used to train the students is how to respond if a shooter fires at people in a movie theater and also uses a bomb in the attack.
As long as we have 24/7 news channels, twitter, email and mobile phones with cameras, this will continue.

i agree. a parents can watch their children and ease them through the grief and fear better than a stranger in most cases.
Champaign, Illinois County Sheriff: The problem isn’t guns or magazines, it’s the mentally ill
January 31, 2013
Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh.
EXCLUSIVE TO GUNS SAVE LIFE.com (for now)
Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh has weighed in on the hysterical call by Democratic Party leaders to ban guns, limit magazine capacities and impose all sorts of other restrictions both in Springfield and in Washington, D.C.
While he doesn’t come out and say he’s not going to enforce further gun bans, he does cover a number of points that are just common sense around here:
Right to carry will deter crime.
America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15, isn’t criminally misused around here.
Magazine capacity isn’t an issue.
Cops here, including him, support law-abiding citizens’ right to carry and possess firearms of all sorts.
The real problem for his department is mental health issues.
Sheriff Walsh probably isn’t going to earn himself any free donuts for the department from Governor Quinn’s office, and certainly not from Senator Durbin or President Obama, but he calls it like he sees it.

Yes.
It is a terrible and stupid thing. just like the (pagan) candle/ teddy bear shrine garbage. “making a difference” is the idiot mantra of this shallow religion.
Never understood what people get out of placing teddy bears at a death shrine.
Much better to pray to the Lord that He welcome the souls of those victims into His heavenly kingdom, that His grace bring comfort to the bereaved, and ask all this in the name of our Savior.
That’s doing something, IMO.
I prefer to say to the MSM:
Stop shouting Fire! in crowded schools.
Yes.

We had a boy commit suicide in the high school where I was teaching at the time. Our principal, who was a total lib, brought in a team of “grief counselors”. I know that the principal and this group meant well, but it was sickening to see them operate.
It was as if they wanted everyone to wallow in the tragedy. I had one try to corner me, even after I had explained that I did not even know the boy.
The teenaged girls really fed into the whole drama, and I really worried about a copycat incident. Fortunately, that did not come to pass.
