If this kid had done the same thing at a City Council meeting he would be doing hard time for years. But then I guess that the council is more important than the CC students...

Originally the story said that SBCC didn't report it to the police until after KEYT contacted them and asked it they had done so. That info seems to have been dropped from subsequent editions of this story but is critical to me. If you have a mentally ill student, you want to get as many agencies involved in the hopes that one of them will prevent him from going the next step and actually getting a weapon and doing a Columbine. If I was in a class with a student like that, I would be preparing for what might happen next.

What do they say about the 60's, if you remember them you really were not there. Youth intoxication took a serious turn for the worse in the 1960's when mind-alteration was celebrated rather than punished. War babies (pre-babyboomers) were the last generation to be raised by Depression-era parents who passed on values of thrift, prudence , delayed gratification, non-partisan civic involvement, gratitude, church-going and hard work. Plus a strong dose of institutional racism, male chauvinism, devastating childhood illnesses shot-gun marriages. Bottomline: each generation has its strong and weak features and its own selective memories. Go back to the Greek myths to recognize human nature has changed little. There are blamers and doers - at some point in one's life each of use choses to be one or the other.

AirSoft Guns maybe 'Toy' Guns but they are NOT toys. You may not kill someone with it, but getting hit in the eye would be bad.

Our "young people" have the same angst as those born in the late forties/early fifties; however, their/our problems are magnified by the "baby-boomer" generation living beyond their expected 65 years-not to mention the fantastic carbon footprint that generation leaves behind. It is no wonder that "we" are angry about our future! Child-rearing became a farce because the hippie culture frowned upon any discipline what-so-ever. Thanks to womens' lib, our mothers dumped us in day care and went to work. We became the generation to be schooled by Sesame St. In terms of war--war is ugly, no matter the generation. Ours will never forget 9/11. Turn, turn, turn,,,

Why are there so many young people with issues these days? I don't remember anything like that in my "old school days"- speaking for the late sixties- early seventies, here. I think maybe young people are angry about their lives/futures, and I guess I understand that. Honestly, a lot of us didn't think we'd live beyond 21yrs, with the war going on and people self-destructing. We weren't, however, turning on each other!

Attias rings a bell. But why bring race and/or nationality into it?

This is the tea fire all over again. Some kid from out of town blows it, parents toss some money around, kid goes home. Check the public records. If this had been a local kid with no real resources, the only thing going to jail faster than him would be the headlights on the patrol car.

Adult Ed pottery classes not taken off the schedule - students are just asked to pay a fair fee. That way there be money to pay for more campus security, instead of free adult hobby classes.

What irresonsibility of Campus Security! It is not their call to determine if a crime has occurred or not. Waiting a day to report this??
