and it is hardly on the news at all. Is this because they can't get reporters and cameras to the scene?
This will put me at odds with many of you but I think it's a combination of the fact that this area was remote (which is why there were no helicopters or reports "on the scene" immediately and there were only small press reports.
I think another reason though is the fact that it wasn't white kids. (see Jon Benet, Columbine and the intensive coverage that ensues)
I read in an AP story out today (Student gunman kills 9 in rampage, Joshua Freed, AP), and printed in a chicago newspaper, that mentioned this fact TWICE. Once, near the beginning of the story, and once again, near the end. Have these anti-gun types NO SHAME? (a rhetorical question, since we all know the answer)

This case won't receive as much attention from the anti-gun, left-wing media, and for MANY reasons...
1. Apparently (or at least we think at this point), the perp wasn't WHITE, and in fact, was a much-vaunted American Indian (sorry PC Police... a NATIVE-American. HELL... he was an INJUN.).
2. The guns were taken from a COP. Since anti-gun libs, whether they admit it or not, would like to ban all guns, except for the military and POLICE, this story doesn't work for them.
3. Liberals are actually much to blame for this, since it is they who created the Victim Rich Environment (which they like to call Gun-Free School Zones), AND, it was probably typical YANKEE liberals in Minnesota that prevented two guards at the school from being armed. What good are unarmed guards at a school? Apparently NO GOOD.
4. At this point, it doesn't sound as if the guns used were EVIL, BLACK "Assault" weapons. Though, with the ever-changing "definitions" put out by the anti-gun maggots at the VPC and the Brady Bunch, that is subject to change.
