The recent Colorado school shooting

What the major media are not reporting are these two items. #1) - The shooter was an avowed socialist and believed in Keynesian economics. #2) - The shooter was stopped inside of 80 seconds by the presence of an armed School Guard. More at the Christian Science Monitor:
Colorado school shooting: Armed guards the answer?
As they investigate the latest school shooting in the United States � Friday at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colo. � one thing is clear to law enforcement officials there: The presence of an armed deputy sheriff on regular duty at the school was the key factor in preventing more deaths and injuries.

As soon as he heard the first of five gunshots, that officer and the two school administrators he was talking to raced toward the commotion shouting their presence and ordering students and staff to follow the school�s lock-down protocol.

As a result, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said at a briefing Saturday afternoon, the heavily-armed shooter realized he was about to be confronted by an armed officer, and he took his own life.

�We believe that that action was absolutely critical to the fact that we didn�t have more deaths and injuries,� Sheriff Robinson said. The whole episode � from the time the shooter entered the school until he shot himself � lasted just one minute and 20 seconds.
