Yesterday, Michael Brandon Hill, a 20-year-old with a history of mental illness, allegedly entered Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, an elementary school in Decatur, Georgia, with an AK-47 and nearly 500 rounds of ammunition.

Ranked in order of importance, those lessons are: 1) don't be a creep and spy on women (or anyone) in the bathroom and 2) don't crawl across ceiling tiles, especially if you're spying on women in the bathroom. Alas, the confusingly named suspects, Eduard Petrovich Kovynev, 26, and Eduard Alexander Kovynev, 27, had to learn those lessons the hard way and, as a result, were arrested.
And not a half-century too soon.
