Editorial Opinion
There is no excuse for bringing guns to school, but I believe this case points out the need for students to have a method to fight back against bullies and protect themselves. Does anyone think the school administration will take serious action, or just ignore it over the summer break? Time will tell. I will guarantee you this: If students don’t have a way to use the school system to protect themselves from bullies, the students themselves will come up with an alternative. Whether it’s a gun, knife, bat, brass knuckles, chain, lock, or good ‘ol fashioned fists, students will find a way to defend their bodies from harm. Let’s run the bullies out of the schools and we’ll see less incidents like these.
