So which will it be? One or Both to blame for the awful slaughter of the innocents 2 days ago? The media sets the stage with it's bombastic forets into the horror of it all, all the blood, the body bags (or the bodies if they can be seen), the blinking lights of police and fire and ambulances. All of this and interviews with the victims whether or not they were shot (they are victims still), then come the inevitable comparrisons with previous acts of violence and mayhem followed shortly thereafter with possible future ones. Can't we gag the press for 48 or 72 hours? An instant gag just as a judge "gags" a jury...infact a immediate injunction against out of county newspapers and bloggers too, just shut them up to allow the smoke and terror interest to subside. What's wrong with that? Not constitutional? Do it and see. Test it in the courts, refine it, legislate it. It certainly would help all closely concerned don't you think?

Then the next part...Mental Health. We all go to school, we are examined every day that we are, should not schools develop referal programs to establish a connection to the mental health facilities available in the local community?
