If RNWR gets some buying pressure it will go up fast, IMO
I had fun but I still don't know if it was worth it, couldn't drink my coffe this morning, had to sip Coke.
Another senceless school shooting, they are going to have to start covering in the news what happens to these shooters instead of sensationalizing just on the shootings.
Had one happen close to us in Richland a few years ago, got plenty of media coverage on the shootings but no coverage on what they did to the shooter.
Too many children growing up these days without parental supervision, too many lazy parents not willing to take the time to teach them the differences between right and wrong, it has to start earloy with rules laid down by the parents and strictly enforced while letting them know you love them. I was tough on my children, I demanded respect for my husband and me and I had rules and if they strayed they got punished, I didn't beat them but if they needed a good old fashion spanking or a nose stuck in the corner I didn't hesitate to do so, also not enough of them going to church, thet're just not being taught values anymore, sad to bring a child into this world and not take the time to teach them things that will give them a chance in this world.
Teen Gunman Shoots Five at High School

EL CAJON, Calif. (Reuters) - A teenage boy with a shaved head crouched in a sniper position with two guns and opened fire at his high school in this San Diego suburb on Thursday, hitting at least five people with shotgun pellets before police shot and injured him, officials said.

The incident at the 2,900-student Granite Hills High School took place less than three weeks after another student killed two classmates and injured 13 others in a gun rampage at Santana High School, just 6 miles away.

Both schools are part of the Grossmont Union High School District and both of the alleged assailants were reportedly taunted by their classmates.

Police identified the gunman as 18-year-old Jason Hoffman, a senior at Granite Hills High who was "not very popular" there, according to one student who knew him.

"He was not a popular guy," Ainohh Hogan said. "I heard he was picked on."

A spokeswoman for Sharp Memorial Hospital said 10 people were treated for injuries from the attack, including a 16-year-old boy who was hit in the upper face and chest with buckshot and was listed in serious condition. She said his wounds were not considered life-threatening.

Hoffman was also listed in serious condition with gunshot wounds to the face and buttocks, the spokeswoman said.

She said the other victims, who included at least one teacher, had less serious injuries. One student hurt her back in a fall, another reported heart trouble and a woman went into labor after arriving at the school to pick up her daughter, she said.

GUNMAN CROUCHED IN SNIPER POSITION

Witnesses said the gunman crouched into a sniper position and fired six or seven shots, reloading once, near an administration office.

Students fled out of the school by a back entrance as an officer who was assigned to the school engaged the assailant, described as having a shaved head, in a brief gun battle.

Wendy Buerster, whose 16-year-old daughter Christina attends Granite Hills, said Christina heard rumors last week that there would be a shooting on campus. Buerster said her daughter recorded the rumors in her journal and may have alerted a vice-principal.

"We started worrying after the Santana High School shooting (in Santee, Calif.)," Buerster said. "You'd think that she would be safe at school."

El Cajon is adjacent to Santee, where two students were killed and 13 others injured when a student opened fire with his father's gun at Santana High School on March 5.

That was the worst act of violence in a U.S. school since April 1999 attack on Columbine High School in Colorado in which 15 people were killed, including two teenage gunmen who took their own lives.

While police investigated the possibility of a second gunman, a likelihood that was later dismissed, a middle school and elementary school adjacent to Granite Hills temporarily locked their doors and kept students inside, officials said.
