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.

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

Good point. Sad … but good.

Was that a crossbow full auto or just semi-auto?

We have learned that as long as the schoold district has a “bullying policy”, live goes on and the district isn’t really strictly held to that policy; kids will be kids.
Yet, if the local factory has a safety policy, well, the government (OSHA) will...
CLOSE DOWN THE WHOLE FRIKKIN FACTORY and assess exorbitant fines...
if someone does not follow that policy.

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

Shelter in place...lockdown...take evasive action...lock the door...hide. Don’t decide anything for yourself, let the collective decide.

Some of it is conditioning and training as well. When I was in school, fighting back was an option. Not a popular one with the school administration, but a bloody nose now and then showed a willingness to fight back.

“snapped”
No such thing as snapped.
Allowed his lower instincts to take over his reason.

Maybe he was inspired by the “Machete” movies?

Looks like there might be another sequel in the making.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machete_%28film%29

According to Trejo, Rodriguez has scripts for the first of two Machete sequels, tentatively titled Machete Kills and Machete Kills Again.[54] Both these titles appear in the end credits of the film’s theatrical release. At the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Rodriguez said that both sequels have been greenlit. The trailer for the third film, Machete Kills Again,[55] precedes the second film as a “Coming Attraction”.[56][57] Machete Kills was released on October 11, 2013

Well, since there weren’t any pics and it was “makeshift” (homemade?), maybe he built one of those high cap makeshift arrow clips with a shoulder goes up thingy. Spray hose arrows from it? Maybe difi will weigh in with some ‘splainin. In Spanish no doubt. Maybe shannon t watts and the momunists can cobble together a club in Spain and expand globally.

You know, my new neighbor’s son is a quiet kid but a good kid with a good heart. His dad was telling me he told his son to fight back if he needed to and not to worry about mom and dad because they would have his back and support him no matter what. He also told him that he could talk to either of them about anything and that he was not alone. I think it was some of the best advice he could have given his son.

> “Outlaw guns, knives, crossbows, pitchforks, and rocks now! You know they’d try if they could.”

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

Too bad the Muslims don’t obey it. You take away guns in a society and theqq criminals thrive. But maybe that’s what the end objective is anyway

I was bullied extensively my first 10 years of school. To a considerable extent because I was raised to believe a Christian doesn’t fight back.

Finally snapped and fought back against one of my tormentors. Didn’t win the fight but didn’t disgrace myself either.

School had one of the early “no tolerance” policies, so we were both suspended for three days.

The funny thing is absolutely nobody bothered me the next two years.

I taught my girls exactly what your neighbor taught his boy. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn the other cheek to him. If he strikes you on that cheek, kick his ass.
