Okay, you convinced me she was overcharged -- and the system that doesn't help mentally ill people is at least as responsible.And the school should have searched his backpack etc. And her sexuality and the state of their house is not evidence of any wrong doing. Still, the shooter was fifteen, rather than getting him a gun, getting him counseling would have been kind to him, taking him home from school would have been kind to him. This is a heartbreaking story -- and yes the sexism is disgusting, and so is a culture which allows kids to guns -- and parents go along with it. Thanks for writing a brilliant piece.
