Columbine was far from the first school shooting. According to the Washington Post:
"The first recorded school shooting in the United States was in 1853 at a schoolhouse in Louisville, Kentucky. On November 2, 1853, Matt Ward shot and killed teacher William H.G. Butler with a pistol hidden in his coat pocket."
I think the very important point you’re missing is that schools did not exist in fear of school shootings before Columbine. There were no lockdown drills and crazy security measures for entering and leaving the building. So making a big loud noise would not make people instantly think someone was shooting up the school like it very well might today.
I'm not sure how I missed that from their first post. /s
I get it, you're scared. Noone was ever scared like that before.
Edit: I looked it up, mocked a false statement and declaration of ignorance.
Got downvoted. I'm not promoting violence, I'm mocking ignorance.
I think you replied to the wrong post
I was responding to you Coggy.
There were drills where you were taught what to do in the event of a life threatening emergency.
There were talks about nuclear events and preparation for scary things.
There were school shootings before columbine.
People didn't have national and international news poured into their faces as easily before.
I mocked the confidently incorrect assumptions of American school history and celebration of personally enforced ignorance.
And - Rudolf Wild invented the drink in 1969
I know it's not the first, I never claimed it was. But as someone who is old enough to remember what life was like before Columbine, that was the one that changed everything. That's when we started having active shooter drills.
Then 9/11 just amplified it.
It's that I've been in schools with after school activities in the last year.
Kids were popping chip bags and nobody drew weapons or jumped because of a loud pop that sounds nothing like a normal gunshot.
I was in school before columbine ever happened.
I don't think violence in is ok in most situations. I think America has a mental health and gun issue.
I like the Capri Sun mylar things from a nostalgic perspective.
