Wisconsin Is Weird

I don't know if you guys have heard about it in Boston, but as me and my fellow Wisconsites ( sometimes it still freaks me out that i live in wisconsin too!) But this afternoon, there was another threat at a Wisconsin High School, this time it the plan was followed through. North of Madison (note: Capital of Wis, home of UW) in Cazanovia
There was a school shooting. A former student (expelled student actually) sought revenge on the principal of Weston High School. The Shooter told students that "They Better Run" before the shooting took place. The Principal was shot 3 times and later died in a hospital yesterday evening. The School was in the same celebration as we were at Homestead, it was homecoming weekend, and the homecoming game was just hours away, Needless to say these events were cancelled.

Not Only is this the Second Wisconsin High School Scandal in the past month it is the second High School shooting this week. What is causing this peak in Violence in America?

It seems news is different in Wisconsin, compared to Massachusetts. Massachusetts news was very politically based, there were more storeis about waht teh governor was doing, and how the daily meetings at the house went (and of course 3 daily stories on the big dig.) In wisconsin news is widely based on the If it bleeds, It leads newscast. usually the first story is on the shootings in Milwaukee's north side, or a scandal where this happens. I ask myself Why? Is it because this happens more in wisconsin? Are wisconsin politics boring? Does the Republicans having control of state senate have an effect on this? Someone watch Channel 4 in boston for me tonight, and tell me how many shooting stories, you see... and comment back to me.
