Whenever there is an event like this, everyone who was considering doing something similar gets a boost of motivation. It's a classic "when it rains, it pours" phenomenon.

Do you have a reasonable justification for checking the news at Russia Today?

This sucks. I hope no one was seriously injured.
On a lighter note.
That bulletproof blanket photo looks ridiculous. Are their snipers in the drop ceiling?
Wouldn't they be better off crouched in a corner crowded behind the blankets?

Historical example: the Dumblane and Port Arthur shootings, separated by a month and a half and very similar in concept.

Horrible someone did this again. I live 15 minutes from there and that school was my high school's main rival in sports. Thankfully there are no casualties being reported apart from the shooter.

Inb4 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'
I'm not trying to spark some debate or even take a stance on anything, but someone needs to do some research to figure what sparks this. I also kind of wonder if the rates of incidents like it have increased, or if we just know about it more often thanks to technology.

I watched a video from the people trying to develop the blankets where the inventor had envisioned a phallanx style formation where they kids all come together to form a shell. That makes far more sense than this, but it's still better than nothing.

the blankets were originally designed for Oklahoma and its Tornado season - these are primarily designed to stop debris coming down although the material is made from body armour .

Yeah, something like this would be a better idea.

I was wondering about that, if the general sense of an increase in the rate of school shootings is caused at least in part by the massive amounts of media coverage each one gets. Maybe we should stop reporting on them

I check Rt.com and a few others for a world view of news not just one country. I check RT, BBC, CBC, Reuters and Bloomberg. RT which isnt Russian as you may imagine - its run buy some exiled russian journos who left russia cause of the BS and the censure on reporting facts.. they currently live abroad somewhere.

Well shit - I didn't read the article.
The Bodyguard Blanket, designed and manufactured by ProTecht, is advertised as a 5/16-inch thick bulletproof rectangle that students can wear over their back in the event of a tragedy at school. The product comes adorned with a backpack straps and is reportedly able to protect against nails and shards of metal as well as bullets
The described the bullet blanket in a sentence, but didn't describe what the lead image was from. Miss one sentence, and BOOM, you're an idiot.

When I looked into it a couple years ago, averaged over decades there were huge spikes of US mass shootings in the 20s and 70s that dwarf today's numbers (3-4x greater). Other than that it's been fairly static with a particular low spot during WWII.
