School Shooting in Downtown Cleveland
Let me tell you, I never wanted to see the Mayor of Cleveland's website listed as a Related Link on the BBC for something like this!
The difference between this shooting and Columbine - though they are both horrible - is that the SuccessTech shooting didn't shatter any idyllic images.
Whereas Littleton, Colorado, was a veritable suburban paradise, Cleveland is a crime-ridden city with a lot of problems!
So I hope city leaders learn something from the tragedy -- and the bad, bad press generated by it -- and adopt the following attitude:
THINGS CHANGE. NOW.

The problem is, Mayor Jackson makes it on the news. But not the head of the mental-health care system who couldn't find a place for this very troubled young man. Also not pictured: gun manufacturers, gun dealers, and the head of the Cleveland school system.
