The term "going postal" was coined after 7 USPS shootings over 10 years, while there have been 25 school related shootings in the past 10 years (and 8 in the past year alone). [All stats come from wikipedia.] Also, I would argue that the school related shootings are different because, for the most part, strangers are being killed rather than co-workers, making it scarier and also harder to understand.Jonathan Katzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07362776979218585818noreply@blogger.com
