Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~rena_axe~~rena axe.jpg\|link=Higurashi no Naku Koro ni\|frame\|Rena is a firm believer in [[Just for Pun\|corporeal]] punishment.]] [[I Thought It Meant\|Has nothing to do with Cartesian Geometry]]. Line 8: The person who brings the weapon is rarely a member of the core cast, since that would force the writers to come up with some way for them to [[Status Quo Is God\|get off scot-free]]. Unnamed background characters who attempt this are fair game for being caught and sent off to juvie, though. If they ''are'' a main character, expect for them to be gone from the show [[Put on a Bus\|for a long time]]. Unfortunately, this can also be [[Truth in Television]], as recent school shooting tragedies such as [[Columbine]] have ~~proven -- otherwise~~proven—otherwise, schools wouldn't have metal detectors and X-ray scanners, and teachers wouldn't be issued kevlar vests. Of course, the real-life portion of this is [[Older Than They Think]]; the [[Columbine]] incident in 1999 was simply one of a handful of shootings that earned national attention.

Lead singer Eddie Vedder has said in interviews that this song was about two separate, real-life incidents, one from his Middle School and another from a newspaper article. The music video for the song clarifies this further. * The [[Tomato Surprise]] in [[The Offspring]]'s "Hammerhead" shows the song is about one of those. * The song "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People is about a kid who finds a gun and menaces the other ~~kids--who~~kids—who have fancier shoes than him, thus the eponymous "Pumped Up Kicks"~~--which~~—which presumably happens at school. * Sick Of It All by ''The Distillers'' {{quote\|I went to school today with an Uzi Line 109: == Web Original == * Inspired by the Columbine Shootings, this is how [[Newgrounds]]' [[Mascot]], [[Pico]], got his start. A bunch of [[Goth~~\|Goths~~]]s started a massacre one day, so Pico grabbed an AK-47, reclaimed his school, and hasn't looked back since.
