Teen with crossbow goes on deadly school rampage

Monday’s bloodshed began around 9:30 a.m., after the unidentified student arrived late for his 8 a.m. class. When the teen was chastised by his teacher for not being on time, the boy snapped — pulling out the crossbow and firing it at her head.

He then set his sights on his classmates, striking the teacher’s daughter, who was also a student.

He just whipped out a makeshift crossbow? WTH? "Other students would pick on him,”" So is that not considered bullying in Spain? Probably would have helped if they had "anti-bullying" laws in place. But, apparently since he's "underage" he won't be charged. WHAT! Was the machete also "makeshift"? Say, isn't that the place where hiss-panic heritage started?

"What do we want!?"

"Crossbow control!"

"When do we want it!?"

"Now!"

Rinse and repeat.

Before long the only item any private citizen in the world will be able to legally own is a wooden tablespoon if the left gets there way . . .

Outlaw guns, knives, crossbows, pitchforks, and rocks now! You know they’d try if they could. You can’t outlaw or stop the evil in men’s hearts but then again that’s not their point...

And no one did anything to stop him? During the time it would take him to reload, he could’ve been tackled.

Why? If the left gets their way, there won't be anything to eat.

So...the school’s “anti-bullying” process failed.

Bullying pushes some kids into suicide, and some into violent retaliation, and the press and authorities handle each outcome quite differently. Imagine the news reports if the Columbine kids, with their black fingernail polish and trenchcoats and gay sex comments on Myspace had committed suicide?

Whatever the outcome it’s still the decision, fault, and responsibility of the perpetrator.

The “homemade crossbow” in this case was a pretty effective weapon!

I think they did that in England with the Knives Act and Dangerous Weapons Act. Anything pointy or scary.

This was Spain, though it might have been any part of Obamastan in what used to be America.

The sheeple are conditioned to wait for the authorities to respond.

He must have had one of those semi-auto high capacity cross bows.

“A 13-year-old boy armed with a machete and a makeshift crossbow went on a deadly rampage at a school in Spain, killing a substitute teacher and wounding four others — but he won’t face criminal charges because of his age, authorities said.”

The survival instinct is being successfully bred out of the younger generations now.

Aha! So it was the teachers fault and the attack was spontaneous as he just happened to have a makeshift crossbow on him at the time as I'm sure many students do.
