Security

Tragedies like to awaken in people Realengo the compulsive need to do something. It is absolutely legitimate. It's instinct for self-protection. It turns out that this "something" takes too long the debate is in danger of losing focus.
Some argue that the appropriate response to the deaths is a new campaign for disarmament. The premise is mathematically logical. If there are firearms in circulation there is no way to kill someone with a firearm.
Every determinant of zero matrix is ​​zero.
Stay for the reader to judge the realism and effectiveness of the proposal. But, even there?What to do when there are guns in circulation? Nothing?
There is an agenda earlier in the realm of public safety. As there are still weapons in circulation, there is also need for prevention and protection against criminals and would-be criminals armed with firearms. It seems logical?
On the day of the massacre wrote that the country needs and will find resources to make our schools a safer place for our children.
I said "safer", not "completely safe". There is no solution that eliminates 100% chance of a massacre as the Royal one. But that should not be an excuse for failure.
In extreme situations it is always prudent and teaching from a personal angle. I am a father like any other. If I have the right to call for my son to a school where it is reasonably safe, why deny the same right to all the fathers and mothers in this country?
Even more so now. How crazy were not totally jealous of the sudden fame achieved by the coward who shot children in Rio?
Over the weekend, experts tried to convince us that there is nothing to improve security on the ground, that everything was a fatality. Increase surveillance in schools would be ineffective and even harmful.Really?
It is the habit of thinking that if you do not have good must refrain from keeping the good.
The great, as is known, is the worst enemy of good.
Since the distrust of experts. But I suspect respect.I wonder where their children study.
I bet there is in schools where no one enters without being disturbed, and carrying guns and bullets in a bag.
Our experts are at risk of being like some education authorities, the people who spend money hand over fist to pound that public schools are going even better.
But enroll their children and grandchildren in good private schools. Those in which no one passes through the entrance without a good reason and without proving that it is not a threat.

Massacre in Realengo

Violence does not match the Brazilian ethos, understood as the mode of being of our people.Hence the puzzlement national and international repercussions of the tragedy recorded in the Municipal School Tasso da Silveira, Realengo neighborhood of West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. An eccentric former student had access to the teaching unit on the day would be celebrated his 40th birthday, arguing that one of the speakers.
Within 15 minutes, caused a massacre of children and adolescents, gathered in the classroom, leaving the balance of twelve dead and twelve seriously injured, after practicing for suicide.Wellington Menezes de Oliveira, 23, former local resident, attended the school throughout elementary school, in their settlements with no school no comments on violent behavior or symptoms of psychological disorder.
After the scenes of carnage, family and their contemporaries at school made statements about the behavior of the killer, but it was not possible to trace the psychological profile. His biological mother, suffering from schizophrenia and attempted suicide for many reasons, had no condition to create it, a task assigned to his circle of family kinship. The adoptive parents died, and he was alone in the world.
Early on, the serial killer showed too much shyness, withdrawal and retention in morbid stories. This trend was only part of the largest setup of your mental illness, being patient with manic depression, as voiced facts. Disintegrated in any social group in the community, supporter of religious beliefs radicalized, the killer premeditated Realengo the carnage to take revenge upon, preferably in adolescents. The cancellation of a microcomputer which pierced the night, the destruction of the utilities of the house where he lived, the letter confessing the desire to do violence, it included suicide, and ritual set for his funeral.
There is evidence pointing to the killer as a possible victim, in school, bullying, the widespread phenomenon throughout the world, consisting of the rejection by the group, in a companion study, against which threats and intimidation are made by subjecting him to demeaning and, in most cases, the aggression, without any plausible justification.The "bullying" is one of the challenges of school.
Of emotional cues that the case can give rise, must be discarded in the appointment of officers to supervise the schools entrance. Such a measure would be toothless, because the transformation of the free space in the school's strength does not prevent the outbreak of violence. The case of Realengo is isolated and anomalous. Your greatest danger will be to stimulate other cases by imitation.
More important will be to investigate how this young killer bought the murder weapons, despite disarmament campaigns, and obtained the ability in handling
The premeditated murder, the signs of the preliminary investigation, has roots planted in the culture of death dictated by motives of archaic beliefs, thinking of the psychotic and the unhappiness of human beings. It is a serious sign of the times.
