Admiral Zaarin Posted March 24, 2001 Posted March 24, 2001 I probably shouldn't say this, but US schools, from what I've heard of them, sound horribly violent. I've never heard of weapons in schools here.
edlib Posted March 24, 2001 Posted March 24, 2001 They can be. Seems to be getting worse, although I don't know if there's more violence overall, or that the severity of each attack is worse than in the past.

Nitro Posted March 24, 2001 Posted March 24, 2001 Yes, I have been shot at. About 2 years ago, I was out with my trusty bolt-action, single shot .22 rifle, 'patroling' the 90-odd acres of forest I own (well, technically, it's my dad's, but I get it when he kicks the bucket) when something wizzed by my head. Instinct made me drop to the ground, and a second round embedded itself into the tree behind me... I just lay there, looking through my scope trying to see the guy. I spotted him, and put a round into a tree a few feet behind him to scare him off. He just started running. Turns out, he was an escaped convict running to the states from Dorchester Penitentiary. The cops caught him later that day, and it was later confirmed the bullets lodged in the tree behind me were from the gun they found on him. What's scary to me is that throughout the whole thing, I was more exited then scared... But what worries me is that I know would have shot the guy if he'd fired at me again. That's something I don't want to live with.

Jem Posted March 24, 2001 Posted March 24, 2001 I have already almost been shot, had a gun pointed at my head and the barrel touching it, close to my ear... It all happened in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I was just a baby, 13 days old and brought home from the hospital a couple of days ago (9). Well dressed people needed to use the phone and my father who is a very nice and polite man let them in the appartment, they were burglars. That's when they ripped the phone put the gun on my head and demanded everything of value. Meanwhile my sisters were going crazy, my brother sleeping in the bed next to me (and stayed asleep) and I also was napping... My parents of course gave them everything so I didn't get shot... Can you guys imagine how my parents had to be worried sick?? mus be very disturbing to see your baby in that situation...
