I am a criminologist writing a book regarding school violence/security. Others have suggested the similarity between Charles Decker in "Rage" and Barry Loukaitis from Moses Lake, WA. Reportedly, Loukaitis uttered "sure beats algebra" supposedly drawn from "Rage." All I can find in the text is "sure beats panty raids" from Chapter 13, but I cannot find "can't find algebra." Is this all myth or have I missed something?
