“dreamy” as in that wide-eyed, stunned, deer-in-the-headlights look that most teens have?

When one pulls a fire alarm, doesn’t ones hand resemble a gun shape?

Once again another nut going hunting in the liberal created fish in a barrel because he knows nobody is going to shoot at him. That’s why they do this, they flip out on a power trip. Let’s see them do it though with armed guards and teachers walking around. Our low life scum sucking liberal politicians get taxpayer supported 24 hour armed guards but not our kids. Our kids get lined up for potential target practice every day they go to school.

No... what you do is what should have been done for years in these type situations i.e., Columbine, Aurora Theater shooting, etc. They were caught on camera or in the act.. No Trial, No waste of millions on a court trial, years of bullshit delays, housing and feeding the scum and everything else that’s wasted on these type POS.

Review the video or if you caught them in the act you kill him right there on the spot. I don’t give a damn why he did it, don’t care about his family life, his upbringing, any reasons or excuses the left can come with or anything else, just kill him and it’s over.

KNIFE CONTROL..!!! So a whack job goes on a stabbing rampage that lasted what..20+ minutes, would have been nice if someone at the school had a gun to take out the bad guy but I forgot, its a gun free zone, apparently its also a knife free zone too

schools are already a gun free zone.

now if this putz kid would have pointed his finger at someone they’d have suspended or expelled him.

our public indoctrination centers (”schools”) are frigging insane asylums. they teach the kids they’re animals. they teach good and bad are just relative subjective preferences. they teach there’s no God. they teach them sex techniques. they encourage homosexuality. they do everything but teach them facts and skills to be successful as adults. many do learn a lot despite the teachers and administrators.

what do we expect? we ought to be surprised this isn’t a daily occurrence at most of the public schools.

The only way to ban crime is to ban people.

KDKA has confirmed that 16-year-old Alex Hribal is the suspect arrested for the stabbings. He is a sophomore at the high school.

Ban knives, pens, pencils, protractors, toothpicks, nail clippers.

Maybe plastic bubbles ought to be mandatory by law.

National knife registry? Conceal carry knife permit? Cool off period prior to knife purchase? Designated knife-free zones? Zero tolerance knife policies? Knife background check? And --- after all that stupidity --- we'll move on to the same for screwdrivers, utility blades, and sharpened sticks.

Two knives eh? Somehow a scene from the movie DEAD ALIVE (BRAINDEAD) popped into my mind.

You just don't understand...Security for ME; Not for thy....

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged (1957)

What? No wall-to-wall coverage?

No calls in Congress to pass knife control laws?
Harry Reid not blaming the NKA (National Knife Association)?

Michelle Obama not calling for finger foods only in all school cafeterias?

Not being flippant as I know 2 are in critical condition It had to be a traumatic situation for the students.

It does prove a major point. These situations are not about weapons.

Has the type of knife been released? I ask because I did hear Rod What’s-his-name say now the authorities will want to know how the student was able to get the weapon on to school property.

I see this as an important lesson to gun users. Knives are a superb complement to having a gun, especially in a close quarters situation, in the defense or the offense.

In the trench warfare of World War I, soldiers quickly realized that the ideal weapons for fighting in trenches are a pistol in one hand, and a trench knife in the other. If the enemy is at a stand off distance, use the gun. If they are in your face, the knife is better.

And being indoors is little different from a trench with a ceiling.

Importantly, movement outdoors in a riot, mob, or “wilding” is much the same. Instead of walls, you are surrounded with bodies. Some are the enemy and some are indifferent.

But if the mob turns on you, you have very effective stand off distance with them, and might even change the flow of the mob away from you, with a pistol and a knife.
