[edit] Dillon Cossey

Isn't it kind of obvious that this page has been whitewashed by the district PR people? Dillon Cossey planned to shoot up the school and it was national news for days--pretty much the only reason anyone outside the immediate area has heard of P-W--and he/the incident isn't mentioned once on the page? Reeks of PR management to me. Come on. I'm editing that in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.209.149.71 (talk) 07:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

No, actually, it's not PR whitewash, it's that Dillon Cossey is irrelevant. Just because the incident that did not occur made national news doesn't mean that it's actually noteworthy. It just means that it's sensationalist journalism playing off of the fears and sensitivities of America in the wake of Columbine all those years ago. I removed the reference to Dillon Cossey because nothing actually happened. If you wish, start an article about the incident (that wasn't) and link back to this article. You may find it a speedy candidate for deletion, since no one gives a shit about Dillon Cossey. Godheval (talk) 16:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
