Yeah, but I'd bet that kids weren't taking semi-automatic weapons and shooting up the schoolyard on a frequent basis when you were in school, either. No one wants to be the person that didn't call the police and let a simple altercation blow up into a violent calamity. That and the school has to cover its ass.
