So, why do you think the school overreacted, if not to make an exqample [sic] of her behavior?
What logical reason could there be?

Exactly. The fact people even consider school shootings to be a big problem only shows how much influence the media has over them. We are talking less than 100 killed in a year.
So if illegal immigrants only killed 100 people a year that's no big deal .
statistically it wouldn't be... unfortunately, illegal immigrants kill way more than 100 people per year... so it is a big deal.
Next...
Um no, someone was making out a hundred kids being shot at school a year is no big deal, that is messed up.
Amen to that! I drive a wrecker and listen to the police scanner all day every day. Over the past couple years in our moderately sized county there have been maybe a few shootings and no fatal casualties by gun. More injuries occurred from stabbings than guns. There have been more wrecks than I can count including quite a large number of fatalities and life flights. Most of those are drunk driving accidents and children are definitely victims. A couple months ago or so it was a 2-year-old child. A few months before then it was a 5-year-old. Nevermind all the teenagers.

This is the society we live in. Kids somehow have unmitigated access to guns, and they massacre one another.
How many guns are legally owned in the US?
How many kids have gone on shooting sprees?
When you compare those numbers, you realize mass school shootings are an astronomically rare event. If you're mad about people killing each other, then go after drunk drivers, which are a significantly more dangerous threat than kids with guns.
