It’s one of the strangest school shootings in recent memory.  Robert Butler Jr., the son of a police detective, went to Millard South High School with evil intentions in his heart.  He walked into the office, shot two school administrators, and then left.  Robert Butler shot and killed Vice Principal Vicki Kaspar, 58, and wounded Principal Curtis Case, 45, before fatally shooting himself a short time later.  Butler posted a rambling manifesto on Facebook moments before the shooting, asking people to remember him before affecting “the lives of the families I ruined” and claiming that the school drove him to violence.

“I think it’s safe to say that in the yearbook, there was one picture of Robert Butler, and that was his school picture,” said Lincoln Southwest High School Principal Rob Slauson, Butler’s former school.

Butler had been in attendance at Millard South High School for about two months before the shooting,  having transferred there in November.  Fortunately, the school went into lockdown almost immediately after the shootings and no students were harmed.  From the sound of things, though, Butler wasn’t interesting in hurting any of his peers, just the two administrators he shot in the office.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
