Jesus, thanks for sharing this experience. I don't envy you. I grew up in the countryside and shootings in Italy NEVER ever happen. It is very difficoult to legally own a weapon, imagine mass shooting! No way.
When I hear these stories, I always think how life is much more simple in the countryside, far from the evil human.
Also, I understand your statements come from a different contest, however I am glad we still have a social system that allow everybody to attend public school if they don't have enough income.

That Italian countryside sounds quite nice to me.
The incident that I witnessed was a crime of passion, as one person was pushed into a rage against another individual ending in tragic violence. Any kind of violent death or murder was a new thing for us back then, unless it was seen on the TV, we never thought of such things before that.
Here, our existing organic social system is hobbled by the public school system, instead of being enhanced by it. I keep on creating this future (wait 'til you see it!) where communities create local learning groups using online resources, where any income bracket can become educated within their own communities. The best teachers would be rewarded directly by whole communities pooling their money into these private groups, and the traditionally underpaid teachers may find themselves well paid and appreciated for their work.
