Guns in schools
According to the Tribune and NBC 5 News, two CVS (Chicago Vocational High School for the north siders) were *accidentally* shot while one of them showed a handgun off to the other one in 8th period science class.
That makes the second shooting this year at CVS. Not this school year. This calendar year.
A perfect example of why it's hard for us as city workers to have families while being forced to live in the city (or is that "shitty?") on a city salary. With the exception of a small handful of decent schools in the Chicago Public school system, if we want our children to get decent educations, or we at least want to not have to worry about them get to and from the educational institution safely, we have to pay for them to go to private schools.
And when we were children, we oddly only recall people getting a few lumps here and there after school. We don't remember worrying about getting bullet holes during class. The times, they have a-changed. And they're not going to get any better any time soon.

Speaking of times having changed, also remember that our mommies and daddies didn't go running to call the police every time one of us got one of those "lumps" after school. Our parents would ask us why we got the lumps in the first place, and would often times agree that we got what we deserved.
Nor did our parents go to the school to physically attack:
a)the principal
b)the offending bully
c)the offending bully's mamma, gramma, auntie, etc
d)anyone who looked at them funny standing outside
Keep in mind too, this doesn't just apply to the city schools only. It's sad when the suburbanite parent's act like their on a Springer show..
