    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 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.
