They live in Alaska, where did they think they would escape to?
Something is clicking, prophets, Torah, Revelations, Bible.....
This country is rotting and becoming a cesspool.
It doesn't matter who holds power, Rep. or Dem.
The culture is dying and basically dead.
Evidently, dangerous terrorists have gotten lose in the 7th grade.
Shall we send in Homeland Security? Will President Bush call an emergency cabinet meeting? Has anyone alerted the FBI?
yet another reaseon to homeschool ping!
If they were ever picked on, then maybe this is part of it....
They are now accused of witchcraft, virtually, despite that they have done nothing.
What??? Santa didn't come to their house this year?
Wait a minute. What kind of 7th graders are 16-18? What the heck is going on in public schools.
I was wondering when this would arrive on FR. It has been in the national news all day and in the Alaska news since the middle of last week. It is not a total shock, not even a partial shock. This is not a utopia, although those who haven't been here and hung around for a while tend to think it is that or an ignorant backwoods.
BIG PING
"Slay" it's such a good word.
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm glad the little buggers were stopped.
Homeschool Ping!
This is the third case THIS MONTH ALONE.
April 5 -- Students in NJ were arrested:

And today it's Alaska.
If these were homeschooled kids, "experts" would be all over the news criticizing homeschooling, claiming the kids are alienated, and calling to outlaw it. Government-run schooling always gets a pass.
There were six of them and they were picked on by other students? There were times in my school career I would have been thrilled to have six friends so I'm not seeing the picked on loner thing happening here. And who cares for crying out loud. Not in so many words but my parents said, "suck it up."
Just one more reason I am so thankful that my 3rd and last child is graduating from high school next month. If we had to do it all over again, knowing what we know now, we would have home-schooled or searched for a private christian-based school. And with us living in a rural small community with the K-12 school attendance not much over 800+, I would never have thought the (bad) changes that have happened in our school over the past 20-30 years would have occurred. It was a good school system back in my day.
If you add the kids from Winslow High School here in South Jersey that makes the third case of planned attacks on schools in the last month.
I was a loner in high school. I was introverted and shy. I was picked on and bullied. My dad had a shotgun and rifle and I had access to them. But my parents had taught me right from wrong. I believed in God. It never entered my mind to exact violent revenge.
