This is gettng so stupid. im not gong to get into a rant here,because i got one on another site all ready, but DAMN!
With the excpetion of the old guy, i was like a lot of these kids. was harrased daily alot, listened to metal music and played and watched violent things. yet i never shot my classmates. i wonder why these kids do it, when i was harrased just as bad, if not worse than most of them, and yet, never shot up my school. it boggles my mind. there are better ways to get revenge. go on to be sombody, that would be the best thing you could do to your torrmenters. while there nobodys, you can be somthing. your better than these harrassers and you throw it all away for a minute of satifaction. is it worth it? in my eyes, it is not.
I also find it funny that, 5 years after 9/11, they say were safer from "Mohammud", yet we can't keep teens from killng each other. very sad.
You know I've been thinking. Violence in the school happens every year. Perhaps terrorism isn't scaring people like it use to. It isn't getting the job done. Now we focus on "school violence" and now we have everyone on their toes again.
Doesn't that seem how our media works? We eased away from reports of the Iraq these past couple weeks haven't we? It isn't the war that's in the front page. Now it's school terror. I mean it's a sad fact but school violence happens every year. Yet it's only now that they report it.
It's like Columbine came and for a year after it was this fervent report of violence after violence. Let's not negate the fact that Columbine was in no way the first violent incident at a school.
I do feel horrible for the victims and my condolences go out to the families. But I think this sudden "influx" is simply a move by the media.
Last year there were several nation-wide shootings and I don't think any were reported. Why are we reporting them now?
I'm guessing they must be occuring more often now. It's sick. I can't imagine why someone would do that sort of thing. I'm wondering if anything like that has happened here in England. I'm out of school now thankfully but I'm also pretty thankful that I never really hear of that stuff happening in England... or does it?
Still, what has happened to these killers heads? Why do it? For poops and giggles? Fucking sick bastards.
When I was in junior high the janitor found a bunch of pipe bombs. I really have no idea where they were, or what happened. All I know is that we were ordered under our desks, and yeah... Whoever does this stuff is obviously malfunctioning in the brain.
Go Read Vibration in the shorts section... I'll return the favor...
I miss the days when the only thing you had to worry about in school was getting caught in the stairway making out with your girlfriend/boyfriend or failing a grade. This is getting crazy.
The janitor at my high school once set half the school on fire. This was after I graduated. There were fundraisers and all that stuff to raise money to rebuild it. I knew the janitor, too. He was a cool dude.

It probably does, but no one really cares about shootings in England. MSNBC would rather report something that happened in the US than in Europe. Nothing personal, we're just the media capital of the world. You guys had a couple bombings there last summer I think and it was gone from the news channels in about two weeks. Madrid, Spain as well.
EDIT: There was a school shooting in Scotland in 1996. Dubbed the "Deadliest Attack in United Kingdom History" Left 18 dead.
But I didn't think guns were big in England, anyway. Like all of your action movies and stuff have melee weapons like bats and knives rather than guns. Good example is 28 Days Later. What is a zombie movie without guns? I didn't think it was possible, by Alex Garland accomplished that.
On a side note though, these American school shootings are nothing. I still think the worst was the Beslan school shooting on September 1, 2004 in Beslan, Russia. A Musilim group overtook the school during the first day of school where the parents and children had some type of open house or something and kept them there for four days without food and water before Russian officials infiltrated. But that wasn't before the group ordered and forced the a majority of the parents to shoot their own children dead in those four days.
And I'll bet you 100 dollars that 9 out of 10 people you ask do not even know this ever happened. 10 Amish students? What about 186 kids aged 4-18 being raped by extremists, killed execution style by their own parents, and used as human mine detectors during their planned escape?
Why do this people goes to the schools to kill students and kills themself? Why do they don't kill themself before to kill the students, huh?
Because they want to kill themselves but don't have quite enough motivation to do it. Once they murder a couple of kids they've reached the point of no return and find killing themselves easier than facing the consequences of what they've just done. Selfish bastards.
That reminds me of a scene from Class of 84. One of the teachers had a nervous breakdown and showed up to class with a piece. He began asking various trouble makers questions and if they got it wrong...
Yep, more guns, that's the answer. If everybody was packing, I'm sure the World would be a much safer place. Oh wait, no it WON'T! Maybe Charlton Heston could teach a class.
"Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd" - George Carlin "I have to sign before you shoot me?" - Navin Johnson "It'll take time to restore chaos" - George W. Bush "Harry, I love you!" - Ben Affleck "What are you looking at, sugar t*ts?" - The man without a face "Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death." - Exodus 31:15 "No one ever expects The Spanish Inquisition!" - The Spanish Inquisition "Matt Damon" - Matt Damon
What folks ignore is the story behind the shooter. There are some interesting stories there. What does it take to bring someone to the point to commit these crimes? Why does the shooter all ways off themselves after it's all over?
It's difficult to take a side because the media immediately starts analyzing the guy's intentions. This is all ways blown out of proportion -- kinda reminds me of the elections.
There is a definite lack of accountability to the administrations and parents. If someone has a kid that constantly picks on another kid, you can only guess what the kid, who is being picked on, breaking point is? But nobody ever takes that angle.
I am not saying the kid's actions are correct. I just don't think we are ever seeing the full story.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Kids pick on kids -- maybe we should ban that behavior.
Banning guns would just put guns solely in criminals' hands. Seriously, if you are going to commit a crime, wouldn't you also own guns illegally as well.
Let's look at Chicago. Handguns are banned. But there are still handgun crimes in the city. Obviously, that ban is doing a great job.
Meanwhile, there are people who like to shoot for fun. There are tactical shooting competitions. There are long distance shooting competitions. We have the Civilian Marksmanship program. Afterall, if we are going to send our boys to Iraq, maybe some training for them in safe gun handling as kids make sense.
