When did this start in the US? Its disturbing and sad.
Sure the kids who were shot were probably bullies but to shoot and kill them? Sad for everyone involved. At least this time the shooter was captured alive so perhaps people can understand it better

For a while, I was the bullied. Then I hit my growth spurt. Then, I became the bully.
It's just how kids are. They are mean. I was one hell of an SOB.

Thats human nature dude. I was bullied until I fought back. Ironically the kid who bullied me the most in JR High school was a skinny kid who was bullied himself
People become what they hate if they dont forgive
Also many kids who were bullies turned out to be great people later. To murder them is a waste and sad.+

In case you missed the other thread, we are the world leader in school shooting deaths. Something to be proud of, that!

I noticed that. I have to wonder about kids who think murder is a solution. These type people must have something wrong with them insider. Perhaps other kids sense this and this is why those kids without souls are picked on.

There should be a distinction between normal mix-ups and deadly force.
An analogy could be made to here. I taunt and bully noobs here all the time and say rather unkind things about some of our dear Outposters. But I wouldn't ever wish actual harm on any of them. I have said some fairly uncomplimentary things about illmyrin, for instance, but we play Dungeon Defenders together online like nothing happened. That's how it should be.

I'm all for standing up to bullies and fighting them with fists even if you lose. I am totally against trying to seriously injure or kill them. Bulling is probably related to human herd dominance behavior like you see in wolf or dog packs

To bad the teachers weren't armed, a lot of lives could have been saved, but i guess the government is fine with these "free victim preserves" they have created for crazies to express their maladjusted anger.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting#1700s
from the link
"A boy of 12 has his pantaloons made with a pistol pocket; and this at a boarding-school filled with boys, who, we suppose, do or wish to do the same thing. We would advise parents to look into it, and learn whether shooting is to be a part of the scholastic course which may be practiced on their boys; or else we advise them to see that their own boys are properly armed with the most approved and deadly-pistol, and that there may be an equal chance at least of their shooting as of being shot."
how many of you have pantaloons with a pistol pocket?

The number of guns is not the problem, the prevailing ignorance that somehow illegally and immorally disarming a population so they can be victims to criminals is and that ignorance has not stopped one school massacre
However , one teacher with one gun can

its because they are so babied by their parents and society.
i think the kids just need to grow a set and punch their bully.
if society keeps stepping in and handling their problems for them, how are they ever going to learn to deal with stress and tough situations on their own?
