I agree with Dennis, I think the scariest thing is we don't always know the true motive behind the rampage. If we knew exactly what, and when, and when/what the trigger was...maybe we would be closer to stopping this.
The fact that a lot of the shootings have been taken place in schools is really scary. Schools should be a safe haven, maybe not your favorite place, but a place to feel safe in at least. Not to say other places wouldn't feel safe too....but when you're in school you feel like you know everyone around you...when you're in the mall you can be in danger of getting raped, kidnapped, mugged... so you're already cautious to begin with. I never used to feel cautious that something bad would happen in school before, and now I suddenly have to be aware of everything.
College next year really does make me nervous. I know it's just as likely to happen in high school as college...but being away at a university already makes me nervous..and i can't help to wonder if I'm choosing the right college... what if I choose one and that's where next years shooting is. This whole topic just makes me paranoid.
