The Grady High School shooting is from my school district in Atlanta. Grady is one of the best school in the Atlanta Public School system, which unfortunately is not very difficult to achieve. However, this is definitely not a "school shooter" like Sandy Hook, Columbine, or many of the "mentally unstable white kid" shootings. Grady happens to serve the largest concentration of Section 8 housing in the southeast, which is about 5 blocks from my loft. That entire Section 8 housing area drives a huge percentage of the crime in my part of town. That is where one goes to score drugs, prostitutes, or a wide variety of other "bad things". It is the stereotypical "lookouts on the corners" fortress of bad shit. I hear gunshots from that area at least twice a month. That is where this kid came from. So - was it really a shooting? Yes. Is putting it in a bucket with "school shootings" a little misleading? Yes. Of course this kid is innocent till proven guilty and I may be unfairly labeling this kid, but unfortunately this likely goes in the "criminal with a gun" bucket and not the "we can't tell if they are a mentally stable or not" bucket. -Cameron .... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:370833 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
