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.

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

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!

“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.”

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.

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.

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.

“snapped”
No such thing as snapped.

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

NYP is ignoring its stylebook. He is not a teen. He’s Spanish.
