Only public schools in America seem to have the problem... Can you name a single shooting incident (among all that have happened in the U.S. during the past few years) that happened in a private school?

Sad day for America. These senseless shootings in high schools is not going on outside the USA. First, private gun ownership gun is against the law in almost any country. One man being responsible for mass killing outside the US is hardly heard. Secondly, American press is more interested in printing stories which sell newsprint. Story about sexual behavior of US President is more interesting than mass killing in Sampit. Now you ask, where is Sampit. What's happening there? Well, the natives of Sampit are against newcomers from the neighboring islands, and the natives are mass killing them with machetes, bayonets, swords etc, decapitated their heads, and ripped their hearts. Hannibal Lecter is a pussycat compared to these brutal murderers, Have you seen these pictures in American papers? No! Someone e-mailed me these pictures and they were such stomach churning scenes so that I will not post them here. Lastly, back to Santee shooting: Andy Williams is the suspect, age 15. Who should I blame? His parents. At the age of 15 you cannot buy a gun. If the 22 caliber handgun is his parents', then the elders must be held responsible for letting the youngster access that weapon. Outside the US the victims are people the murderers consider as enemy. Here, the perpetrator just shoots anybody in sight. In any case, it is a sad day for America.
