Reporters Jobs Are To Sell The News, Not Deliver The Story

VIRGINIA TECH IS NOT THE WORST SCHOOL MASSACRE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

For those who doubt; Google "Worst US School Massacre"

You should soon be able to identify the "Bath School Disaster" which occurred in Bath Township, Michigan on May 18, 1927.

On this day, Andrew Kehoe, a member of the school board of the Bath Consolidated School, who was upset by a an additional tax levied to construct an additional school building used three dynamite and/or pyrotol bombs in his attack at the school. The majority of his victims were grade school students in the second through six grades killed when one of his explosive devices went off under the North wing of the school.

Andrew Kehoe thereby committed the single deadliest act of mass murder in US history. This is a fact any high school reporter could have identified on the Internet with less than five minutes of effort.

Kehoe also used a firearm to initiate his second explosive device which he detonated by shooting into at the scene of the school explosion.

There was a third device found in the remains of the school that did not detonate. During the scene search to ensure all victims had been located another 500 pounds of dynamite and/or pyrotol was discovered in the schools South wing.

To initiate this disaster, Kehoe killed his wife and burned down his house and farm buildings. While the local firefighters were responding to the fire at Kehoe's farm the initial explosion detonated under the North wing of the school. Later, Pyrotol was also discovered to have been used in the destruction of Kehoe's farm property.
