I had also looked that article up because I wanted to find the shooting where police had cordoned off the school but didn't go in. I was a bit shocked seeing just how many there were. You guys truly don't like schools...

Olaf Fichtner I know the Columbine shooting the police cordoned off the school and didn't go in. Is that the one you're referring to?

Jason ON I think so, but I couldn't see that fact mentioned in its Wikipedia article, so I thought I was mistaken. But if you say that too then I guess I was right.

The Columbine shooting happened just a few weeks after I moved to Denver (Littleton being a suburb of Denver). I vividly recall watching the aerial footage of the police encamped outside of the school and none going in. When a reporter asked a police spokesperson why the police weren't going into the school the reply was they didn't want to put anyone else in danger.

So, it may be that shooting or any of a dozen others you're thinking about.

Jason ON pretty sure it was Columbine then, just couldn't find this fact mentioned in Wikipedia.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
