Another School Shooting
Yesterday in Minnesota, a school shooting occurred. Jeff Weise,17 and a student at Red Lake High School, killed ten people including five students and himself. The shooting occurred on an Indian reservation. It is being called the worst school shooting since Columbine. According to reports Weise was a regular blogger on a neo-Nazi website. This is one of the first school shootings that I have heard of in recent history. He also killed a security guard at the school.
I do not know for many of you but at my high school we have two full time county sheriffs and 20 survailance cameras. Our school as safe as it could be with the money it had to spend. However, schools should be more secure. My question to you is, would you support more taxes in order for schools to install metal detectors or do you think the cost of installing the metal detectors outweighs the benefits of saving lives? Do you think that the issue of school shootings is not strong enough right now?
