Anyone else see a progression here, it's exponential!
HALF OF THE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN THE PAST CENTURY HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST 5 YEARS!

"Bullying" (not a surprise) has been mentioned: (from Huffington Post: www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/27/perry-hall-school-shootin_n_1833811.html)

..."sources say the incident may have been motivated by school bullying.

One Facebook page that is being passed around as belonging to the suspect bias this last update: "First day of school, last day of my life. t(~_~t), f--- the world."

An unconfirmed post on a Democratic Underground forum notes that the suspect was bullied over the summer, and "was one of the all-in-black/trenchcoat types.""
