The police have continually emphasized that the schools are safe since the beginning of the killing spree.

That statement was so irresponsible. And don't tell me hindsight. To come out and say the schools are safe was soooo very dumb. How are *we*, the silly public, supposed to believe anything the LE's say in the future?

Though the point that it's a possibility that the targeting of a school was a direction retaliation to that statement is an intriguing one.

As I was watching the press conference yesterday, what struck me was the defiant, almost challenging manner, in which the county official stated that the schools would be open. He seemed so intent on stressing that the town wasn't afraid and we would go about business as usual. He was out telling people not to worry, go to the food tasting fair. I couldn't understand the logic to his line of thinking with a sniper on the loose and a terrorist threat against American schools. Why won't the authorities connect these two dots?
