[lbo-talk] German school gunman 'kills 16'

[Mark Bennett]

Mark Ames of The Exiled wrote a book about these kinds of massacres using
the old term "going postal," and he referred to that in the link I posted to
his comment on the Alabama mess yesterday.  Given the spate of school-
related massacres, one could just as easily called the phenomenon "going
scholastic."  In fact, if I recall correctly, Ames once had a weird email
exchange with the jock/bully who was said by some to have set off Klebold
and Harris at Columbine.
