A 15-year-old female student who was stabbed to death by a male intruder at a high school in California has been pictured.
Alicia Reynaga was allegedly attacked by 52-year-old Anthony Gray at Stagg High School in Stockton yesterday.
She was knifed multiple times before being rushed to hospital where she later passed away.

Some people need to be put down like the rabid animals they are. They will never civilize.
I think it was really just the demon in him saying “there’s your target.” But if he had ever seen her before and had a fixation, that would be worth finding out about.
“Random” killings always end up taking out someone who was near and dear to a lot of people. It’s almost never some creepwad who sells drugs every day on the same city block, or that guy who’s mean to animals, right? They never get it; they just live on and on.
But cute grandmas who dance in parades and little gals who make straight A’s - they’re the ones to go after. Demons are real.
Do you control your own children utterly - keeping them imprisoned and uneducated - because you “love” them so much you can’t stand the idea of them screwing up? Or do you allow them to make mistakes and exist in the world so that they can learn how to control themselves? A loving parent doesn’t imprison his children or restrict them to a ridiculous degree.
And if you find yourself in a place where there is no suffering, no toil, no confusion, and no ill feeling: Realize that you probably just got hit by a bus and will soon be pushing up daisies.
In the book of Job in the bible, Nob and Satan gamble over whether a man (Job) can be induced or pressured into cursing. That implies a different ethic at work than the “he’ll create a total paradise for us” vs “Satan owns the world.”
Why not think it over rather than repeat the same tired cant that everyone else repeats? (And which I used to repeat.)
The girl’s father should blow him away! No consequence in Texas but doubt California!
“Do you control your own children utterly - keeping them imprisoned and uneducated - because you “love” them so much you can’t stand the idea of them screwing up?”
Well, no I can’t, but an all-powerful, all-knowing god can.
“Or do you allow them to make mistakes and exist in the world so that they can learn how to control themselves?”
I definitely would not allow them to murder innocent people if I had the power that god has. Would you? But apparently your god doesn’t mind.
“A loving parent doesn’t imprison his children or restrict them to a ridiculous degree.”
A loving god would not...
1. create sadistic, atrocious killers and torturers that we read about everyday, and
2. let innocent victims be tortured, raped and beaten to death
Or would he?
“Why not think it over rather than repeat the same tired cant that everyone else repeats?”
Why not use that greatest of all gifts that god gave you, a rational mind, and rationally think about these issues and see if the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving god you believe in is consistent with all the suffering in the world.
It’s OK to question the dogma, I think god would approve - it’s not blasphemy to use the mind that god gave you.
Oh, please!? tell me about the third way, PLEASE! - I promise I’ll give it the full attention and consideration it deserves. Here’s your chance to save a soul and you’re refusing. I don’t think god will be very happy with you.
Actually the third way I think of god is that he and his buddies are just using us as entertainment. He created us, a frequently irrational, emotional animal, threw us all together on this planet and said, “lets see what dumb and entertaining thing they’ll do next”. A bit like watching an ant farm or a cat playing with a mouse.
What do you think?
There was one particular boat in the fishing village which always brought in the freshest fish for sale at market. The fish that boat brought in were always hearty. The boat was run by a father and son. One day the father died and the son took over the fishing chores alone. But that boat still continued to bring in the most hearty fish! The men of the other fishing boats finally gathered on the very successful boat to ask the son what was the secret to their fish always being the most hearty. The son gave it some moments of thought then led the group to the wet well where the captured fish were kept. He opened the hatch and as the light illuminated the interior they men saw a large sea catfish circling slowly in the wet well! The men were amazed and of course asked, "Doesn't that monster eat your catch?" The son nodded his head, saying "Yes, he eats a few, but it keeps the others moving."
And that is just the first half of the third way of looking at the presence of active evil allowed by God to roam the earth devouring folks like you.
Ping to the story
“And that is just the first half of the third way of looking at the presence of active evil allowed by God to roam the earth devouring folks like you.”
Your loving god is sure mean! And he has the power to protect us from evil but he doesn’t.
would you treat your children like that?
Your childish taunting of God is not going to get you any answerrs.And it can certainly harden your own heart to the truth which the Word of God declares.
I’m not taunting god. I’m just asking you questions to which you have no answers.
Am I right?
When it comes to god, I’m agnostic - meaning I don’t know much for sure about him. I think there is some intelligence out there that probably created the world - I don’t think we’re an accident. I don’t think evolution could have created life on earth as we know it or anywhere else.
Life, even at the most basic cellular level, is incredibly complex. I find the idea of some primordial soup and a bit of lightning creating the first cell utterly laughable.
But I don’t know, nor do I pretend to know, much about god, his personality, his motives, why he created us and on and on.
I’m perfectly comfortable with saying “I don’t know”... and keeping my eyes and mind open for any new evidence about him, and using the brain he gave me to sift the wheat from the chaff. And there’s an awful lot of chaff out there.
I often think that we are to god what an amoeba is to us. An amoeba has no clue of our existence, nature, capabilities, power, etc. And similarly we are just as ignorant of god.
We think that our five senses tell us everything about the world, but we may be just as blind as to what else exists, as the amoeba is of it’s inability to see things, hear sounds, comprehend things, etc. that we do. Who knows how many more senses there actually are... and we may never have access to them.
Does that make sense?
You ask does that make sense? In a way it really does. To illuminate for you, we can start with whether you believe Jesus actually lived. Then we could drill down and find out if He was Who He said He was/is. Appropriate issues in the Easter Season.
You have a good start since you believe God is, though you aren't familiar with Him personally. He said in His word that God IS and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
BTW, if you catch a typo, it is common to my psotings since I am nearly blind now. Some of my typos are actually funny double entendre, buy accident of course.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list.

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
“Your loving god is sure mean! And he has the power to protect us from evil but he doesn’t.
“would you treat your children like that?”
You should see what the world did to HIS child.
You are correct, Brownsfan!
Well stated and I like that story!
When people say “a loving God wouldn’t” do this or that, what they are really saying is that they don’t understand what love is.
Also, I feel sorry for your kids. Have a nice day.
“You should see what the world did to HIS child.”
You mean what the world he created and has control over did to his child?
In other words what he himself caused to have done to his ONLY “begotten son”...as though being the all powerful god he could not have created as many “begotten sons” as he wanted. And by the way aren’t we all his children?
Additionally he knew beforehand that his only begotten child would quickly come back from the dead, so wasn’t he just playing a game of playing dead in order to bamboozle easily bamboozled people?
And if the purpose of torturing and killing his ONLY son was to save humanity, why did he not just wave his magic wand and save us without putting his ONLY son through such miseries? Would you have done that to your son?
I just don’t get it - I’m a very simple-minded guy . Maybe you can help me out by answering those questions.
“When people say “a loving God wouldn’t” do this or that, what they are really saying is that they don’t understand what love is.”
I see, causing that poor innocent girl to be tortured and murdered was an act of love. Thanks, now I understand what love is.
“Also, I feel sorry for your kids.”
Actually my kids are doing OK, but I appreciate your concern.
You might benefit from studying the concept of free will as it applies to love. Then again, maybe not.
