I recently read something that once again has me thinking of the issue of school shootings. The premise was that those that do school shootings tend to fit a certain profile; for example, they are loners, etc.
To added to this issue I would like to say that the far majority of those students that match the profile of those that go on school shootings do not. How are we going to separate them? The truth is that there are probably quite literally 10,000s of the general population that match the general description (when we where kids). I also have a difficult time imagining people being acutely aware enough to put the all the pieces together to predict whom meets the profile; especially without also (out of fear) matching it to every teenager that is in a bad mood on any given day (or perhaps, on the other hand, under estimating the situation).
