Murders happen in every country, yes america is unique in that we have -- fordham 03/20/2018 2:56PM

Yet violent crime is down dramatically over the last 25 years (link) -- El Paso Hokie 03/20/2018 10:23AM

Without going political, I believe it's factually correct that school -- ElbertoHokie 03/20/2018 10:46AM

No so sure about that... -- Hokie5150 03/20/2018 11:29AM

Ever heard of MADD -- Tafkam Hokie 03/21/2018 11:21AM

No, it's about the safety of children. Remember the DC snipers? -- 48zip 03/20/2018 1:15PM

More children are killed by drunk drivers than by school shooters, by far -- El Paso Hokie 03/20/2018 3:02PM

But they aren't specific targets. My daughter was stuck at Kings Dominion -- 48zip 03/20/2018 3:59PM

Drunk drivers are still a far greater threat to kids than school shooters -- El Paso Hokie 03/20/2018 6:38PM

That problem will be solved shortly, via self-driving cars. ** -- Freddyburg Hokie 03/20/2018 1:03PM

For sure, I think the same way -- fordham 03/20/2018 2:17PM

Even that's not entirely clear (Link) -- El Paso Hokie 03/20/2018 11:23AM

Meanwhile hysterical social media posts are up a whopping 12,000,000%. ** -- HokieNoVA 03/20/2018 10:30AM

Russian bots ** -- Brown Water 03/20/2018 11:21AM

Saw "Russian hots". It's a lounge reflex. -- Coach McGuirk 03/20/2018 11:35AM
