It’s April 20th. The 8 year “anniversary” of Columbine High School.
Across the street from my house, an explosion went off at Ponderosa High School this morning. They’ve arrested someone, no one is being reported as injured. Schools across the metro area have had threats, lockdowns, sent kids home early. Students have left messages that “Columbine” will happen again, “4-20″ messages are posted everywhere.
(4-20, btw has a double meaning. First - the legalization of marijuana to be protested on April 20th AND the date of the Columbine massacre.)
I can’t fix this. No one really can. The highs and lows of the human heart are both astonishing and despicable.

For sure. My daughter’s campus had to deal with bomb threats after the VT news. Senseless.

Dans college had one to. It makes me angry that people think its a funny joke and an easy way toget out of class.
