Another school shooti - er, stabbing

Post by Warren Dew » Thu Oct 24, 2013 4:31 am

Teacher murdered by student ... but you have to read to the end of the article to find out it was by a knife.

Of course, the article mentions an unrelated shooting incident near the top, just to get a mention of guns in there.

Well, he probably wanted to use a gun.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I hope there is a ban on carrying knives in the US (like there is in most other places), if not might be time to introduce one

Good point. While the article is not overtly biased it certainly underplays that she was stabbed until the third paragraph.

Still again, I think the conversation is a diversion.

Nothing wrong with American kids, kids like adults naturally tend to try and kill each other from time to time.

You can't change that , what you can change is how likely they are to succeed

Why do you hate freedom, jonno? It's a natural right for man to carry a knife, or rocket propelled grenade launcher.

The article proves our point: no students were harmed. Rarely can a knife wielding wacko kill more than one.

When most people use the word 'freedom' and live in a democracy its usually 'freedom' to make everyone else lives a misery

Quite true. And a point often missed by the unbiased Fox News types.

Oh, and how many were killed in this school stabbing? One? Imagine that. Good thing he didn't choose a gun instead, there may have been many more deaths and injuries.

Maybe if we just outlawed schools. Or at least students.

Erm... They have easy access to guns and knives (and machetes and RPGs etc...) and live in a society full of fuckwits who that seize every opportunity to loudly proclaim that this is The Natural Order Of Things and A Good Thing To Have?

I don't know of any school anywhere in the U.S. that allows carrying knives, but by all means lets make yet another rule. I'm sure everyone will follow this one, particularly if Michelle O'Bammy makes a rap video about it.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
