One time they actually did find something they thought was a bomb (i dont know if it actually was). However in my school district it would be extreamly difficult and expensive to be able to do a good job of preventing things from happening. I live in a huge school distict. My grade has over 350 students and the kindergarden class has over 500 students. They take up an entire fricken school!! Just wait till they are in high school. |

Apparently a member of some kid's family had gotten involved with some gang and they threatened to shoot this kid. This poor kid had nothing to do with it. Apparently this gunman was going to take him out when he was going to speak to his class (he was the class president i think). Needless to say, the police were informed and they worked with the school district to find a solution to the problem and avoid this kid or anyone else there from getting injured. The kid's family agreed to keep him home while the rest of his class graduated. He's still getting his diploma, just not with all his friends and classmates all because of this gang. It was a necessary decision to keep everyone safe, but it's so sad that it had to come down to that. |

If you take it too seriously you miss the joke. Columbine, sad, yes. But almost completely preventable. I forget what interview it was in but when they asked Marilyn Manson what he would have said to the kids he said something along the lines of "Nothing. I would have listened." Because if they had been listened to and taken seriously then it probably wouldn't have happened. People just snap after a while. |
Disarm; Nicole Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2793 | heartcore love for sam;: I personally loved Bowling for Columbine. But I didn't think it was "happy" at all. I really have no idea what you mean by that, could you please explain? |
SpreadLegsNotLies Bleeding on the Floor Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1469 | It´s hard for me to understand, that someone like Charlton Heston is still a hero to sooo many people... I can only remember the thing in a school in Leipzig (Germany) and how shocked everyone was that this could happen here too... and that they blamed Slipknot for it... I mean... they blamed Manson for the shootings in Columbine... bull... in my opinion... To me Manson is a very intelligent and kinda nice person... all the things on stage are a show... How can music make you a murder? And it doesn´t matter how "brutal" it may be... |
Other. Bleeding on the Floor Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 1254 | Music doesn't pull the trigger for you. I think bullying has alot to do with school shootings. If you were being tortured every day by some people wouldn't you want to get revenge on them? |
SpreadLegsNotLies Bleeding on the Floor Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1469 | Personally... I would think about revenge... but never run around in school with a gun and shot everyone who moves... But I also blame the parents... I mean... not to offend anyone... but... why is it so important to some parents that their six-year-old son can fire a gun??? And why is it so easy to get a gun in the US (correct me if I´m wrong)??? I think THAT is so wrong... to make it so easy... And that it seems that no one is listening to those kids... the signs were there... but no one took them serious... |
schizophrenic_cat Salute You in Your Grave Age: - Gender: - Posts: 3310 | worth a thousand words: I've seen that interview somewhere ... I just think it's kind of ridiculous that people in our society have to blame the artists ... the people who are often keeping the place sane ... for all their problems ... In my opinion mass media is just a refelction of our society ... so how can you be blaming any form of media ... As you Manson said ... one of the only ways to actually avoid the shootings is to listen to the kids ... I myself was a very violent child when I was younger ... I'd go round stabbing kids with pens .. and punching them .. When I was 9 I was actually not allowed out in the playground for a week ... because i was hurting to many children ... This carried on till I came to the end of primary school ... In secondary I got a confidante ... some one I speak to at least once a week ... guess what .. I haven't lost my temper/hit/punched/kicked anyone for about 6 months now .. which for me is a major achievement ... If I didn't have a confidante I owuld probably still be very violent and bad tempered ... I might of been kicked out of my school by now .. Basically ...If you see that a kid is having problems ... that way you will not only save other people's lives. .. you will also save the kid's life .. which in my opinion is very important .. here are some interesting things about child killers .. . http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/psychology/psychopath/1.html http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/weird/kids1/index_1.html http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/weird/kids2/index_1.html http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/mass/littleton/index_1.html |

obsessedmonkey Killjoy Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 77 | actually, my school never had a shooting, but in the local juinor high a couple of months ago there was a bomb threat. (this will be my new school come september) and in my old school, there was two bomb threats. nothing is more fun then being threated to be blown up. (note the sarcassum) |
TeenageVampire666 Bleeding on the Floor Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 1550 | Dyke_Overlord: true, we haven't had one yet, but that dosen't mean we won't. i've heard of people plang one here, but they got found out before they pulled it off. it's just a mater of time before someone goes through with it. |
cocaine. Shotgun Sinner Age: - Gender: - Posts: 8558 | rox_my_sox: Kids also have the common nerve to talk to councellors and people who can help them. It's been proven, so why do these kids run around with guns and shoot people? |
TeenageVampire666 Bleeding on the Floor Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 1550 | Scout, we're goin' down;: because they feel there's no other choice. mabey they tried talking to people they thought could help but it did nothing or made the problem worse. a lot of the time if your getting picked on telling someone and trying to get help makes it worse when whoever is picking on you finds out. that can, and does, push people to the edge. |

rach3l is a sound. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3840 | Today, at my school we had a DARE assembly [Dignity and Respect for Everyone]. And I heardaboutthis kid who shot a kid who was new to the school in the back of the neck due to a fight over MSN. This was my old school. Luckily, the kid who was shot is okay. And the gun used was just a beebee gun with metal bullets. But I don't get it. Why do some people get so worked up on things they decide to attempt to kill a few or many people and then decide to act on it and people get severley injured, or in the worst case, the victim dies. |
a perfect circle. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 4755 | There was just a shooting somewhere in Montreal like 2 days ago.. This guy came back like 2 years later after he graduated and started shooting in the hallways and made his ways into the Cafateria and shot one person that died at the sence and wounded others. The police shot him in the head. The way we prevent it. Don't bother the kids that gut bully becuase it's always them that snap and then go back for revenge on other people. I know that this is band but the guy was like goth. |
xXLustingVengeanceXx Fabulous Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 161 | There was never a shooting at my school,but a few days ago there was a bomb threat.The kid just did it to get attention...he wasn't even thinking about actually bombing the school.Now he's got himself into deep sh**.Whoever gives the police any info. about the guy gets $500.Why would anybody post a reward for a stupid 13-year-old that didn't even probably know what he was talking about?Kids are crazy these days...*sigh*... |
Silent_Whispers Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2119 | It happens because someone picks on one person, and the person gets sent over the edge and wants to kill everyone in the school...even the people that didn't do anything. So school shooting all start with bullying...so if there was no bullies there would be no school shootings, but what are the chances of not having any bullies |
