One thing you notice reading history books, is that Jack the Ripper never owned a gun.....

"“You can make all the changes you want, but you can never stop a random act of violence by someone intent on taking his own life.”"




the difference is, this was NOT random

it was well though out, premeditated and he would have found another way if there was no such thing as guns

One thing I like to do is read popular history. Schoolhouse murders are nothing new. An entire school was wiped out with all the children murdered in 1755 Pennsylvania.
An entire wagon load of children were murdered in 1812.
Another school in Texas got hit in the 1860's.
then in the 1880's there was the crazy man in Oklahoma who killed schoolchildren and mailmen.

Set down and go through some of the old newspapers of the past, you will be surprised how many murders were committed against children.

Why we don't hear about them? News traveled slow in the past.
A school house massacre takes place way in the past.
1 week later the entire county knows.
1 month the entire state knows.
3 months it finally makes the national papers.

Today, with TV and the internet,we have instant knowledge of such things before the blood is even dry, and Sarah Brady dances in the blood.
