The worst mass killing on a school campus ever...wasn't at VT.

All the networks and talking heads are calling the massacre at Viginia Tech the worst mass murder in United States history at a school. Whether or not this is just a case of sloppy research or something far more insidious and disturbing is hard to tell. In 1927, in a town called Bath Township, Michigan, a disgruntled school board member murdered almost 50 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders along with the teachers and others who were unfortunate enough to be there at the time. Along with dead an additional 57 were wounded. The killer was a school board member who was incensed at a recent school board decision, of which he was a part but was outvoted, to raise property taxes to acquire more funding for the school. He was a farm owner and because of the increase ended up losing his farm. Over the course of seceral weeks he began surrepticously planting a chemical called pyrotol (i think that was the name if not very close to it) throughout the school. Finally onthe day of the killings he loaded his car with dynalmite and scattered metal fragments thoughout the interior of the car as well. He started a fire at the school and the pyritol acted as an accelerant effectively making escape nearly impossible. He then got in his vehicle and drove into the people who were attempting to rescue the children trapped inside and detonated it.

I want to think the mainstream media has somehow overlooked this when they refer to the Virginia Tech slaughter. Which I no way am attempting to minimize the horror and evil of. The cynic in me wonders if because this event almost exactly 80 years ago to the day, actually was even worse, if one can imagine, is being ignored for the purpose of political agenda; namely to not blunt the effectiveness of the gun control (left) hue and cry, which understandably hits a very tender note right now. I have found it particularly disgraceful that some, before the final body count was official were wallowing in the blood of the dead to forward their political agenda. I truly hope this is not the case, but one wonders if this information can be discovered so easily, why have not the media, who's profession is researching such things not even given a passing comment to it?
