Readers react online to Lincoln-Sudbury stabbing
As crisis counselors offered their services at Lincoln-Subury Regional High school today, on-line readers reacted with shock to the stabbing Friday.
The stabbing generated a debate about weapons in school and about special needs children, and led to memorial postings on facebook.com.
"This is a terrible tragedy and puts all athletic events college applications and everything else in perspective.....to all those who knew and loved james i feel for you..i don't even know what else to say....'' Will Kussin, Concord-Carlisle High Schol, wrote on facebook.com.
"For the most part, nothing much happens in this upscale town,'' writes one poster on
Democratic Underground. "When tragedy or violence happens, people interviewed on television tend to all say the same thing: "I can't believe it", "How could it happen HERE". etc. The truth is, that it CAN happen anywhere ---- even "here".''
Adds another: "I went to LS and graduated in 88.. Hard to believe anyone would ever bring a knife into that school..''
