Why did Alex Hribal do it? Why did the 16-year-old sophomore at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, Pennsylvania stab and slash 20 of his classmates (and a security guard), leaving at least four of his victims in critical condition?
WTAE in Pittsburgh reports that “investigators continue to explore bullying as a possible motive.” NBC News cites criminologists who suggest Hribal was driven “by rage and adrenalin.” The Associated Press reports “[t]he boy’s family is just as puzzled as police about what triggered the attack.”
But there is an obvious explanation of Hribal’s murderous rampage, which has been ignored by the investigators, the criminologists and even the teen-age slasher’s family: He was acting under demonic influence.
Indeed, the Apostle Peter warned that our adversary, the devil, “walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” That’s why the Apostle Paul advised Christ followers to “[p]ut on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Secularists dismiss the Word of God as fiction. They are the 30 percent of Americans, according to the Gallup Poll, who don’t believe the devil exists; who refuse to accept that the evil one is behind the violence and mayhem that occurs all too frequently in this country in places like Murrysville, Pennsylvania.
And the devil isn’t interested in devouring a troubled kid here, a troubled kid there. He wants to destroy an entire generation. And his means of doing is to undermine our institutions and corrupt our culture.
Indeed, under the evil one’s influence, secularists have succeeded in getting God banished from the nation’s public schools.
On-campus prayer is forbidden, even to ask the Lord to heal the victims of the latest incident of school violence. The pledge of allegiance is no longer recited in an increasing number of school systems because it includes the words “under God.”
The theory of evolution, which posits that monkeys somehow transmogrified into human beings, is freely taught in the nation’s classrooms, while discussion of intelligent design, is considered subversive.
Public school students still get time off for Christmas and Easter, but schools must not mention the reasons for the seasons – celebration of the birth of Christ the Lord, and commemoration of His death, burial and resurrection.
That’s why the spirit of God has departed from the nation’s schools.
That’s why the Almighty has withdrawn the divine protection the public schools enjoyed from 1635 – when Boston Public Latin School, America’s first public school, was established by Reverend John Cotton – until 1962 – when the U.S. Supreme Court banned school prayer.
The nation’s public schools have been Satan’s playground ever since.
Indeed, was not Mark Berndt, a teacher at Miramonte Elementary School in Los Angeles, under the influence of the devil when he molested 23 children, blindfolding them, spoon-feeding them semen, placing cockroaches on their faces?
Were not Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who took the lives of 13 souls at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, Adam Lenza, who massacred 27 innocents at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and, now, Alex Hribal, whose knife attack last week left 21 injured, doing the evil one’s bidding?
That’s why those of us who are Christ followers should not be deceived by those attributing violence in the public schools to guns or bullying or mental illness or other secular causes.
No, there is spiritual warfare going on in the nation’s public schools. Which is why we must pray, without ceasing, that God will put a hedge of protection around our schoolchildren.
Reading that headline I thought this article was about Hillary. “Why would she go to a High school?”
Ummm,..you’re telling the truth here.....people ain’t gonna like it!
‘Bout time.
Thanks.

Evil does not require being under the influence of Satan. People regularly CHOOSE to be evil. They need no coaxing.
Were not Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who took the lives of 13 souls at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado,Decidedly not. They wanted revenge against being teased. They deliberately targeted those who chose to tease them. That's not the Devil either. That's called not caring what the consequences are.
Adam Lenza, who massacred 27 innocents at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, ConnecticutAlso no. Lanza was crazy-cakes too. A nutbar.
Sts. Peter and Paul pray for us.
Yes, they have, which means that parents have allowed the Father of all Lies into their children's lives. It is THEIR responsibility to protect their little ones against his evil. They WILL be held accountable.
They themselves have allowed the evil one into their lives by discarding their faith. So, it's no surprise that the public schools have fallen into Satan's hands.
Private and religious schools COST but it's not about money, is it? It's about allowing their own tender, innocent flesh and blood to be eaten by the same Lucifer who consumed THEIR souls.
How did he manage to stab 20 people?
Are there no large blunt objects in school like fire extinguishers and book bags?
