School Shooting Commited at Chardon High

I don't know how many are aware of this, but a school shooting took place not all that far from where I live. http://www2.nbc4i.com/news/2012/feb/28/26/school-day-ohio-brings-shootings-death-ar-947024/ Here is what the accused shooter, T.J. Lane posted on his Facebook page, some days before he alledgedly commited the act. http://www.thedailybeast.com/content/dailybeast/articles/2012/02/27/facebook-post-by-chardon-ohio-high-school-shooting-suspect-t-j-lane.html I just have two comments to make. 1. This is not the proper, prudent, way to engage in class warfare. I understand, and agree with, the opposition to the social system of classes/cliques, violence is not the most positive, or even effective way to combat it. This, for instance non-violent resistance, such as direct action. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action#Nonviolent_direct_action http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_resistance I do not agree with the notion of aggressive"propoganda of the deed", in order to try to advance social change. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_of_the_deed 2. I express my condolences to the family, and friends, of the slain. R.I.P.
