I meant it's more than I expected because you wouldn't think a school is the first place you want to unleash your anger at. It would normally be your work place or some companies you dislike.

Thoughts and prayers for when the jackboots of tyranny descend on Japan, UK, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Australia, Netherlands, and Switzerland. Supposedly the Swiss are heavily armed, they just don't know the freedom of shooting up schools though.
