Fox News was able to break from Ted Kennedy coverage enough to give the 3am time slot back to Red Eye; for that I would like to say thank you.
On the discussion board was the recent high school bombing of host Greg Gutfeld’s old stomping grounds of Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, California. Former student Alex Youshock decided to go into the school armed with pipe bombs as well as a sword and chainsaw. My first reaction was to wonder if this was a joke, sure sounds like it. I mean, who packs a sword and chainsaw? Sounds like to workings of a bad horror film.
Host Greg Gutfeld said:
“He no longer went to Hillsdale and he was one of those kind of strange kids that came back to cause revenge.”Everyone remembers a group of kids (or just one kid) from their high school that was questionable at best.

You may or may not know what bullies do to their victims.
The desire for revenge seethes in the brain. In stable people, it becomes a drive for success and a chalking it up to life’s lessons.

The end of “Revenge of the Nerds” (from the music competition to the very end) is still one of my favorite movie scenes ever.
Oh gag. Rough times or good times - it's called life. It can't all be pleasant and the reaction of individuals is their responsibility not any "bully." We are not "victims" of life.
Oh gag is right... but you are wrong. I've seen accounts of behaviors in schools dismissed as "kids being kids" that were the same things gong on among adults in workplaces people would go to jail. There is simply no excuse for abusive behavior - and bullies need to be treated like the abusers they are, with the full force of law.
