There's something going on near my son's school today, so he's on "lock-out" and not at school. We've gotten a spate of emails from the school district since the 14th saying there have been threats, but have all turned out to be hoaxes. It definitely feels like someone/something is trying to generate a level of fear, and this area is prone to that, being very near to Columbine high school. The fact that these school shootings are generally an American thing, that there's no larger trend in human psychology worldwide toward this behavior, suggests that there is some orchestration behind it. I'm not sure if it's for distraction or just to keep everyone on edge to the point that they're more malleable and willing when the government attempts to tighten its control.
