Not to threadjack, but I'm convinced the media is creating monsters.
for every bad "new" type of crime that they report, copycats spring up, it's viral. No, it doesn't turn everyone into raving lunatics, but do you honestly think this kid would have been the 1st of his kind had there been no columbine and copycats after that so heavily shown in the media?
Kids shouldn't be watching the news, it's not fair and balanced at all when they don't impart any other kind of message other than "the world sucks, and this is how" "oh by the way, these kids were bullied, this is how they chose to get back"
14 year old thinks "hrmmmmmmmmmm!"
end threadjack
and no, I don't think the government should be trying to prosecute him as an adult, I think they need to have the kids who picked on him brought up on psychological abuse.
this shit it getting out of hand. "kids will be kids" means nothing anymore.
Schools are a joke. what happened to learning the basics. making friends, and moving on?
I remember getting kicked in the stomach by some kid like 4 grades higher than me because I was new at one school, no other reason. I kicked his ass, I didn't shoot him. what the hell ><
stupid people.
