As a teacher that works in "one of those" areas, it does concern me. They always talk about violence in inner city schools, but there is a big, big difference. Please excuse me for generalizing, but in our schools, if someone has a beef with someone, they get the beat down in the hall and a THREAT that something will happen later, and usually, nothing does. If something violent does happen, it's usually off campus and away from innocent victims. I just don't get walking into a place and just shooting anyone that happens to walk in your path. That's not violent, that's pure psychotic.
