being reported that 1 person is dead
Just on Saturday I wrote a post on “Pumped Up Kicks,” a song that I felt might be seen as enticing school shootings for troubled kids.

I wonder if this shooter has this in his playlist. You can’t blame, but musicians can on their own decide to be more responsible. The worst offense in the sing is the happy, sweet tune and the lyrics don’t include anything bad happening to the perp.
Let’s put it this way: a film producer will not finance a movie from the point of view of a teen school shooter who enjoys killing his fellow students like it was a video game, enjoying them try to outrun his bullets in their expensive shoes, and nothing bad happens to the shooter. Why? Because the producer is afraid some attorney WILL blame the film for a future act.
I feel the song’s happy beat juxtaposed with an abused kid taking fire at innocents is irresponsible even though I wouldn’t take away his artistic right to be edgy. I’d add another verse where he either gets put away or killed or something.
Streaming video via cleveland.com mentions shooter may have had accomplice.
>>She explained that the thing that scares her most, is that the cops and the school are saying that there was only one student involved in this, but her daughter is saying that there are two shooters involved.
Can we get the title of this to match what is already confirmed, or should this be re-posted with an accurate updated story?

If it is a student who is fighting back after being interminably bullied at school, Foamy the Squirrel has a few words about it. (warning: bad language)

Hey Board of Education.. Instead of worrying about what kids are eating in the lunch room.. try keeping them from killing each other.
Lots of national news coverage on this school shooting,as should be.
Did anyone see any national coverage of the shooting in Jackson TN Sunday morning at a club? Heres a link
