IG-64 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Proof that you can't get away from the world's crap no matter what you do. Apparently some sicko truck driver was looking for revenge on something that happend 20 years ago (though he was probably just insane.) He went into a small one-room Amish school, and had the females line up in front of the blackboard and shot them with a handgun excecution style. He killed 3 and severely injured 7, then he killed himself. 3 of the injured are in critical condition. This just sucks all around. I hate to see this kind of situation end up like this. My sympathy goes out to the families of those that were killed and injured. This is the third school shooting in a week in the US, and 2 more schools in vegas went into lockdown today because someone went by the school with an automatic weapon. What's up with that?

Samnmax221 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I don't know why in the **** these sicko's decided it was a good time to start shooting up schools. This is really pissing me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Or it's just poor, depressed, mentally instable people not knowing how to cope with life problems, and unforuntately going out the worst way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalvaklu321 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Why the Amish? They have probably done the least harm to anybody throughout history (seriously, they are pacifists). It really sadens me, I'm about to lose COMPLETE faith in humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manoman81 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Well if you read a few of the articles that are floating around, they say that the man wanted revenge for something that happened some 20 years ago. I can't imagine that some Amish people would do something to someone that would lead to a revenge shooting of Amish girls at a school. BTW, this is the 4th school shooting in a week in the US....Something is just not right...

Commander Obi-Wan Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 This crap is so stupid. My school is a good school it's just these people decide to be stupid. Yeah, I'd agree with that. So, a student, comes to class and he brings a small BB Handgun into class. And he says "What would happen if the teacher saw this?" And in the end, he hit somebody with the BB gun and he did get suspended. And the funny thing is, it was in a German class. What is that now--the third shooting this month? **** man.... Yeah. I've heard of more than three shootings this month. Mainly locally. It's really stupid why these shootings happen. Like this one in this topic, for example.

BongoBob Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 ...and 2 more schools in vegas went into lockdown today because someone went by the school with an automatic weapon. Wow, did that make national news? Apparently it was my old high school, Mojave, a kid that had gotten expelled was walking back on campus and the were escorting him off when he said he had come to kill people and took off. They put the school onto lockdown, and they eventually caught him in a church. The second school was Elizondo middle school I believe, and that was just because it was in the area they were searching for him. I just found out today that there's been 2 guns confiscated from students in the past 2 weeks. Lovely isn't it : | Anyhow, I'll look out for more information from local news stations.

swphreak Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Now you'll see schools turning into prisons. Metal Detectors at the entrances, guards in body armor with guns and tasers, and I doubt too many people would complain (except for the students). Sadly, I'm more worried about certain persons and the mainstream media blaming video games for all these shootings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Detectors at the entrances, guards in body armor with guns and tasers, and I doubt too many people would complain (except for the students).Except for the students indeed. Expect to have a full-blown security system in place at my school within the week. The school thread in Ahto has more detailed descriptions of my prison masters -ahem - teachers/staff. Sadly, I'm more worried about certain persons and the mainstream media blaming video games for all these shootings. Agreed. People are too eager to point fingers at the media in any medium: News on TV, Newspaper, Video Games... All the way to Wikipedia I'll bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoBob Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Las Vegas. I went to that exact High School for my freshman year, and my current high school isn't too far away. If it was just a couple miles closer we would have gone into lockdown too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Sad, isn't it? School shootings go the rise and now they'll blame Video games (read: GTA). In my opinion, they should enforce super-strict gun laws or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know a butcher's knife has a comparable range, fire-power, and ammo clip size as an automatic pistol, don't you [sarcasm]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
