    I thought we were talking about gun violence. Gang related or not it was a thing in the 30s.

        I literally quoted what I was replying to. “Schools” is not mentioned.

        At one point in the 1930s the Sears catalog would send a full auto Tommy Gun straight to your house via mail order with no background check. And yet in those eras the idea of a grand spectacle suicide/homicide event would have been absolutely unthinkable, even among the most disposessed in society.

          I mean gang violence is usually not a grand spectacle event, so it has nothing to do with the text you’re quoted.
