School shootings

**Swoop** · 3rd October 2006, 08:37

It appears that shootings in US schools have risen dramatically recently.
Are these copycat style or does one shooting trigger another?

Also, WHY do the US police refer to the gunman as "The Suspect" instead of "The Murderer"? Surely this would promote the fact that the perpetrator/s will be classed this way and looked down on by society, rather than the "martyr" approach which seems to be implied at the moment.

I think it is so horrible, I mean having to go to school is bad enough... let alone having the chance of being shot down for it. What is going through the peoples heads while they're killing these innocent kids? The Columbine one I know what the kids where thinking.... and I don't understand how it wasn't obvious to people before they snapped, the kids needed help. But I guess sometimes things seem so obvious when you can look back, but are hard to see when your living it at the time.. if that makes sense?

We live in a scary world sometimes

I think that the one in Montreal recently, guy about 25ish, 'loved' guns and all things vampire, gothic, etc etc we all know them, was different.
I think that this is a sign of a new, emerging person who shoots up a school because he wants to be remembered as someone, and so follows what other people like Columbine people did.
The idea's hard to get on paper, but if you get what I mean, that this guy wasn't particularly broken up about the world or his life etc, he was just a try-hard gothic, schoolkid killer. He didn't even go to school, he was in his 20's, and dresses up in military getup, waltzes in with an auto and starts shooting people he wouldn't even know?

The Columbine guys (names please?) were shooting at specific people that they did not like. This guy from Canada couldn't have known many people at the school, the oldest there would have been like 7-8 years younger than him.

It's scary.

the whole problem started when the idiots said we couldnt lay the strap to the little shitbags..

TAKE OFF THOSE FREAKING BLACK CLOTHES YOU LITTLE SHIT.. *BIFF* GET A GODDAMN JOB AND QUIT YOUR MOANING *BIFF* TURN OFF THAT FUCKING FIDDY CENT NOISE BEFORE I BLAST YOU INTO NEXT WEEK *BIFF*

lack of discipline and folding under the PC Brigade pressure .. let them know they are loved and if they fuck up , there WILL be consequences .. not saying keep them on a short leash or beat the dogshit out of them. .. but let them know there are boundaries and every action has an equal reaction

i blame the parents and the fucking hip hop GANGSTA bullshit this generation is being force fed.. we had Led Zep and Sabbath when i was coming up ,,yes it pissed our folks off and it was 'devil music' but i didnt glorify violence and teach them that life is cheap and all women are 'Ho's'.. worst thing it made me do is smoke weed and flag school

my kid ever calls a woman a 'Ho" he will be receiving a size 13 combat boot up the ass in a big blue hurry

wow I should be a psycho-analyist guy

Psychologists report that coverage of such events can have an unsettling effect on already disturbed individuals, inducing them to "copy" these crimes.

Yeah, I agree there sarge (but not in such graphic terms).
not disciplining your kids and letting them do what they like isnt loving them, its just lazy parenting, you dont want to be the bad guy so you let your kids do whatever.
A good beating never hurt anybody.

It's really sad - I watched Bowling for Collumbine some time ago - It obviously has had little effect on the gun culture of USA. Don't think many watched it.

I wonder what the effect would be if, rather than hitting soft targets like schools, these numbnuts were to crash a NRA meeting and popped ol' Charlton between the eyes before going on a rampage. They'd only need 3 people throughout the hall and enough guns would be drawn that paranoia would take over and 2,000 gun nuts would bleed out on the floor. But would that put them off?

The constitution of the USA has an amendment that allows civillians "The right to bear arms as part of an organised militia" the powers that be seem to ignore the fact that there is no "organised militia" and let people have these little metal objects that were designed with one purpose...to kill people with little effort.
