I found this on Wikipedia:
On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza, 20, 
fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members in a mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut.[4][5] Before driving to the school, Lanza had shot and killed his mother Nancy at their Newtown home.[7][9][10] As first responders arrived, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
The incident is the second deadliest shooting in American history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre. It is the second-deadliest mass murder at an American elementary school, after the 1927 Bath School bombings in Michigan.[11][12]
The shootings prompted renewed debate about gun control in the United States, and a proposal for new legislation banning the sale and manufacture of certain types of semi-automatic weapons and magazines with more than ten rounds of ammunition.[13

As you can read it lead America into the world of gun debate and school safety. How do we protect our children in school? In this country when mainstream media, or frankly all media outlets, are discussed it is usually refers to liberal versus conservative broadcasts. Both the left and right see this as the primary debate. However, this is not the focus of this writing I do want to point out the debate should be focused on how we view news controlled and driven by Euro-Americans (whites) versus minorities and how the coverage negatively affects minority groups. a discussion for a later time. However, this is the case in this cowardly crime.
Immediately after the shooting the whole world wondered how this can happen in America? How can someone massacre children? Experts were paraded on TV trying to profile the killer and then attempting to understand the mind of the killer. The media spent countless hours trying to help America come to terms with the shootings. Everything about the 20 year old was mentioned except for one fact - young white male. Why was this left out of the discussion?
Let's go back over the last 15 years in America and look at the timeline of school killings I pulled up from Fox News Insider: http://foxnewsinsider.com/2012/12/14/timeline-major-school-shootings-in-the-united-states/
Below is a timeline of some of the major U.S. school shootings:
Chardon, Ohio, February 27, 2012: A student opened fire in a cafeteria at Chardon High School, killing three students and injuring two others before he was arrested. 
Dekalb, Illinois, February 14, 2008: A former graduate student killed five students at Northern Illinois University before killing himself. 
Blacksburg, Virginia, April 16, 2007: A student killed 32 students and faculty at Virginia Polytechnic and State University in the worst single act of gun violence in U.S. history.
Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, October 2, 2006: An armed dairy truck driver selected the female students at a one-room Amish schoolhouse and shot them execution-style, killing five. The man then shot himself.
Tucson, Arizona, October 29, 2002: A failing student shot and killed three professors and then himself in a rampage at the University of Arizona School of Nursing.
Littleton, Co., April 20, 1999: Two students killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded more than 20 others before killing themselves at Columbine High School. 
Jonesboro, Ark., March 24, 1998: Two boys, ages 11 and 13, fired on their middle school from woods, killing four girls and a teacher and wounding 11 others.
Add Jared Lee Loughner and James Eagan Holmes to the mix and a visible pattern emerges that very few want to discuss. What is wrong with young white males in America?
What is the America white culture that produces this type of toxicity? American readily and easily explains Black and Hispanic shooters: low education, no father figure, etc. But what confuses them about white shooters. Why are we, as a nation, not discussing how to prevent young white males from horrific crimes. Maybe some left better to the white-controlled and dominated media outlets.
