I suggest to schools and institutions of all types to remain on the alert for future active shooter events such as the catastrophic and devastating massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary. I am the bearer of terrible news. meaning, I am positive that another such massacre your way comes.
The time and space restrictions of this blog-site prevent me from going into great speculative detail, but, here’s the thing: There are more mentally-ill, suicidal, homicidal, and unstable boys and men (and women, also) staggering around “out there” than there are zombies in an episode of “The Living Dead/”
There out there. I know it and so do you. They are on fire, each of them, burning relentlessly. All they need is a spark and a little TNT and, Kablooey!
The first year after the Columbine massacre, there were over 120 recorded Copy Cat Incidents in our schools throughout the U.S. To me, this illustrates that someone who has suppressed or even espoused violent thoughts, kids and adults who are mentally ill will act on their disturbed ideas when calamities like Columbine or Sandy Hook are followed by widespread, sensational media coverage. Well-publicized acts of violence, I believe, fans the “hate flames.”
An example of this “Hate-Flame” phenomenon can be seen in the journal of a student at an Alabama high school (Bobby Shrout) whose first journal-of-violence- entry was made three-days following the Sandy Hook event. Shrout was captured and arrested before he could carry out his plot (January, 2013). The youngster had a “Hit List”. Interviews with the youngster showed that the youngster had watched the coverage. He glibly admitted that he was planning to kill at least 25 students and teachers, and, frankly, “anybody else who got in my way.”
What I am saying is that sensational media coverage of these kind of events can turn a bad guy into a fricking Folk Hero!
What I am saying is that school administrators, teachers, security, students, and parents gird yourself for another Sandy Hook! And while you’re at it, start actively looking at your children and young adults whom are in your charge and trying to intervene before it’s too late.

Until then, Stay Safe.
