Chardon Shooting

As i'm sure you've all hear there was a school shooting yesterday in a rural Ohio town. I didn't do a full investigation into the shooting but what I've gathered is that the boy who did the shooting didn't attend Chardon High, rather he went to a type of reform school for troubled kids. Today a second victim of the shooting was declared brain dead.

Two innocent lives taken for what reason? Maybe the kid had been bullied, maybe he was an "at risk youth," and maybe I'm in no position to judge him but this is my blog and I'll damn well do what I want. In my opinion this kid is a coward.  Dealing with your problems by bringing a gun to school and shooting several kids? What a pussy way to deal with problems. I'm glad the gunman didn't kill himself because suicide is the ultimate attempt of cowardice.

What I find incredible is that the school's assistant football coach chased the gunman from the school. I don't care if he thought the kid was out of bullets or not, that is a bad ass thing to do. It only takes seconds to put another clip into a pistol. That football coach is such a brave individual in my opinion. On a less serious note I could totally see Coach Druga being that guy at our school. Either him or Coach barry would definitely be the one to chase down a gunman. Druga would take any attack on this school as a personal attack and would go nuts.

That's all I have for right now. Just getting my point across that the coach is a hero and the shooter a coward. I feel bad for that coward though because he'll never know what it's like to be brave. He made a decision that will be with him for the rest of his life and he has to live with those lives on his hands forever. I feel bad for him.
