And John Adams. Let's not forget that dude. Although his presidency was something of a debacle, as a person he was kinda awesome. Abolitionist, notoriously cranky, and a successful merchant.... what's not to like?
I like how they kept saying it was an "altercation." The teacher was at the front of the room talking when the kid pulled out his mommy's gun and shot, hitting the teacher in the hand & chest.
I guess they were trying to lay the groundwork for saying the kid is violent or something.
If it were Texas, they'd be demanding he be tried as an adult and insist on the death penalty.
