Yeah, I know Andy and still it's not only in the UK. Stuff like this seems to be happening a lot more all over Europe too lately. Maybe it's the old "No Future" theme that's coming back but this time with a more deadly twist to it. I sure hope they find the bastard who did that and that they use him as an example.

Well, the worrying thing about this (more worrying, anyway) is that the police beleive that the killer could be as young as 13. Gun crime is rising at an alarming rate here, with guns being "traded" at schools in the same way that we used to trade stickers and connkers. It's bloody worrying.

Yeah, and of course they'll be blaming video games for that right away while the basis of all this is that people don't take (or have) the time anymore to give their kids a proper upbringing.
It is worrying, that's true.
