After umpteen school shootings in the USA, and Canada too for that matter, over the past 20-odd years or so, I guess the "lol, Just Kidding" get-out-of-jail-free card doesn't carry as much weight as it used to.
I'll say this though, everyone wants to bitch and moan about rights and stick up for this guy, but how much would one's perspective change if you had a kid of your own who went to that nearby school?
put another way, if someone had heard a similar "joke" back in the late 90's and reported it as this woman had, could Columbine have been prevented? Guess we'll never know.
