Asa H. Coon Cleveland Ohio shooting in school

The problem is already teachers are afraid to penalize kids. It's a vicious circle where kids don't get educated properly because teachers are afraid to educate them.

I don't see how a kid gets a forearm sop easily though. I guess people will jump on me for saying that. 

I am a resident of the city of Cleveland. I have lived here my entire life. This could have happened anywhere in the U.S. As it just had back this past spring at WV tech and as well Columbine too ...years back. I am a mother and a Cleveland Police wife. I have to admit the only blame lies within the family that raised him and the teens own self for his actions. He was a disturbed individual prior to any incidents that happened recently. There were warning signs , his family /friends and peers saw them - they just chose to ignore...this I feel could have been possibly prevented. People these days choose to turn the other cheek when it comes to people needing help, not always is it a cry for help/a yell for hel or even just someone writing a note, its usually a"

Where do you get your facts. As of Today, the 11th, no victims have died.

To Note: it was said that his troubled cousin to which he was in constant contact with daily , had ways & means to acquire a firearm...this is assumption due to the criminal past that his cousin has and was just recently himself picked up and incarcerated once again for warrants that were exsisting on him within the city I recall they said. Either way again it falls w/in the family lines. As I stated above.

I think it's everybody's fault.

It's the parents' responsibility to know what's going on with their children. In this particular case, the parents should have realized something was not right with their son when he was suspended for fighting. That should have been a huge warning sign that the child needed professional help. Being suspended from school should not have been a way for this young boy to hang around at home by himself. Had he had supervision, he never would have been able to get to the school to shoot others.

This does not leave the school off the hook. It was their responsibility to discipline this young boy as well as follow up on his behavior and demand his parents seek professional counseling for him due to his aggressive behavior. In this. they failed.

The idiot, and I don't hesitate to call this person an idiot, who sold/gave this young boy the gun should be held criminally responsible and put in jail for the maximum amount of time that the law permits. It was this person's direct behavior that allowed this sick and angry young boy to act out his frustrations and kill others.
