Comments on: Ninth grader shot in Madison school http://bowilliams.com/2010/02/ninth-grader-shot-in-madison-school/ Rarely senselessly vulgar; frequently slightly tacky Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:08:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bo http://bowilliams.com/2010/02/ninth-grader-shot-in-madison-school/comment-page-1/#comment-38600 Bo Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:20:15 +0000 http://wmwmsblog.com/?p=3593#comment-38600 Jenny: Indeed. It's hard to believe, isn't it? I'll tell you what I thought of today (thinking of those hallways) was one morning when the power was off when I got to school. I thought "well, no problem, the hallways are pretty easy to navigate; I can find my locker, I'm sure." So headed to go, and of course Mr. Dooley and a couple of others were standing in the way, yelling at me to turn around. It was jarring. It had never occurred to me that such was an opportunity for mischief. :-) Jenny: Indeed. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it?

I would like to know what he did to land there - possibly something to indicate violent tendencies? If so, the BOE and administrators will need to do some explaining. So sad and senseless... it's hard to believe something like that could happen in the same hallways you and I used to walk every day. My prayers are with the families involved, and with the kids who have to go back there on Monday and pretend like they feel safe.
