Excuse me, but James Huberty gunning down people in a San Ysidro McDon-alds showed it can happen here. As did Brenda Spencer, when she decided she didn't like Mondays. Homegrown terrorism is nothing new, and the only thing that should surprise us is that it doesn't happen more often. Guns may not kill people, but they certainly help get the job done. And with more guns and people being added to the mix everyday, it is just a matter of time before Southern California becomes suburban Sarajevo.
Kids killing kids is just a sign of the times.
America has always been about violence, and without limiting population, schools will continue to be the pressure cookers that send children over the edge. For those of you keeping score, the Santee shooting also took place on Mondays. Maybe we should blame Mondays. Robert Nanninga is a free-lance writer, producer and environmental journalist.
