Knee-jerk much?

I can understand the outpourings of support.

But what frightens me is the depth of reaction (and even 'analysis') based on trickles of information.

As in all these cases, there is probably more to it than meets the eye.

Which is not to justify the school, but, goodness, can we stop hyperventilating a minute and find out exactly WHO we're supposed to be lynching first?

That said, it's an interesting thought experiment to try and imagine exactly what new elements could be added to this story to make the teacher's/police's reaction more justifiable. Short of him threatening to blow the school up the previous day, I've drawn a blank so far...
