School Shootings on the USA

   

What I find most interesting on this site, aside from the fact that the information is quite well given and you can easily understand what happend and find lots of other things related to it, is the way it narrates the shooting. It is a short text that explains the events more or less throught the shooters point of view, explaining the fails of the plan and what they actually did. It is has not too much details but after reading it you wonder how can these kinds of things happen and you mostly want to ask why. Even if some of the reasons are given in the article.
Also, you can find all the information about this phenomenon, about the victims, the shooters, the event, the aftermath and so on. In this web site you can find almost everything about the incident and its investigation. It shows the background of the shooters, you can even have information coming from their journals, and who were the victims. I also think that the web site in itself give every information you could find elsewhere through research easy to reach. Thanks to that I learned about a tragic event which existence I completly ignored and it has helped me to learn quickly about the whole shooting.

The movie about school shootings that I think that best deals with this issue is Zero Day. I think so because it is a film that basically shows the plotting and preparation between Erik Harris and Dylan Klebold and the events occured at Columbine. But I mostly think so because it has a scene which is filmed as if it was by a security camera. This is a way of approaching the subject that I find really interesting and also quite striking, because it, in some way, makes it feel more real, and you feel more close and concerned by it. Another factor that creates this feeling of proximity is that the whole film is filmed as a home made video by the shooters, and practically makes you think that the home-made videos are actually the real ones.

The most common reasons mentioned for the recurrence of school shootings in the USA are that the guilty ones of these shootings what to get back at those who have hurt them or that other kids pick on them, make fun of them, or bully them.
