You can blame Hollywood's obsession with violence or questionable gun regulation, but America's history of school massacres predates all that.Slate takes a look at the first mass killing of schoolchildren in the US, which took place in the small town of Bath, Michigan, in 1927, and left 45 people dead, including 38 children. An eccentric farmer named Andrew Kehoe, upset about an increase in property taxes meant to pay for the new Bath Consolidated School, spent months packing the school with dynamite. He set it off on the morning of May 18 with a timed detonator.
it is true that other ways can be found to mass murder, but today easier to get a gun than dynamite,
one thing i don't quite get then and now with pretty much if not all victims were white, back in the day that would be all you heard on tv or radio exception chandra levy, and the girl missing in Aruba, Natalee Holloway, police have always ursued cases dealing with White victims and a vague mention of a Blaclk or Hispanic vivtim, all you saw was about them and the stories did not point so much to them not being in precarious position maybe by choice.
