"An eighth-grade language arts teacher from Maryland has been placed on administrative leave after school officials learned he allegedly authored two books containing questionable content under a pseudonym.

Local network WBOC News reports that the investigation concerns two books published by McLaw under the nom de plume “Dr. K.S. Voltaer,” and one is about a fictional, futuristic school shooting that goes down in history as being the largest ever in the United States.

This is lunacy. School administrators are terrified there will be another Columbine or Sandy Hook and are overreacting, or are they. What could they do to prevent one. Nothing, nil, zero. No need to ask yourself 'why', say thank you to the traitorous NRA , the propaganda arm of the small arms manufacturing industry, for blocking any form of gun control. They have successfully infected the country with The American Disease™ almost unfettered access to weapons of war that kill with brutal efficiency. Sadly there appears to be no cure.

    I was not attempting to cherry-pick. That was the list of incidences I could recall without reference. If I used a more comprehensive list, I would have been side-tracked and unlikely to report on the issue. As an example, I am reading page 82 of 141 of Elliot Rodger's life story. The list you provided has about 100 cases with references to more and excludes incidences such as Raoul Moat and Anders Breivik (who did not come to mind but has similarities with Elliot Rodger).
