School shootings

[Swoop]

... were to crash a NRA meeting and popped ol' Charlton between the eyes before going on a rampage.

Never happen.

Remember what happened when our idiot took a knife to a gunshop here???

Imagine that 100 times worse at a NRA meeting. The perp would be looking down the warm barrels of about 50 handguns...

What the morons do instead, is to attack a defenceless part of the population - schoolkids.

[SARGE]

But,but - I thought that was only a Helen Clark/Labour Party thing.....did the US buy it's policies off us?

its worldwide man .. we are looking at a gang culture right now because i think this generation thats coming up dont have the balls to do it any other way..

are we raising a generation of cowards?

[SARGE]

Nice Cliche - over used methinks - guns don't kill people but the little pencil necks responsible for these massacres are generally too puny to take human life without the aid of a sidearm.

ergo - no guns - no massacre.

what about the Chinese kid who was folded up in a suitcase?.. the Kahui twins? the teacher who was beaten to death recently? the hunks of concrete off the overpasses? no guns there ..

the Human race is predatory .. if a human wants to take a life he will find a way to do it ..

Guns are inanimate objects... the triggers dont pull themselves .. dont blame the hammer for building the house

i come from Cleveland Ohio.. population of 478403.. in 2003/2004 there were 78 murders ....guns are legal


New Zealand on the other hand in 03/04 recorded 100 homicides for a population of 4035461 ...guns are illegal... how are they being killed?

[FilthyLuka]

exactly... you used half brick and so on. The physically inept can kill people with guns yes, but whats stopping them from running their victim over or knifing them? humans are always going to find some means to aid their destruction of other humans. Making guns illegal will deprive these people of a means of killing, but it will also deprive people that use guns properly of a enjoyable past time. Then again, my view on the subject is probably biased, i do target shooting and have been around guns since i was 10...

hmmm, pretty much what sarge said...

Sarge, I'm damn sure NZ for this reason alone would have great trouble mustering a team to go to war if need be. Remove the Maori from the equation and we'd have a lot of knee knocking pussy boys saying "but its wrong to smack / fight / kill". They'd get colonised, skewered and the invaders would take the spoil including our women.

[The_Dover]

they can have them.

kiwi women are rough.

Innocent until proven guilty in the US.

The last one had some truck driver shot 6 Amish school girls execution style.

I can't believe that, thats just awful, the terror those young girls must have felt before dying and the ones that survived. Makes me mad, that some looney instead of just killing himself straight away, has to take innocent young ones with him.

[scumdog]

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..

What a crock of lying shit THAT movie was, as close to reality as the movie Torque, Moore should be a politician!!

BTW He made an issue of how few shooting there are in Canada, kinda bit him on the butt lately eh?

And as far as making a name for themselves (the twats that do the shooting), who the hell can remember ANY of the losers names?
Not this guy.

[ZeroIndex]

I love these t-shirts.. I WANT THEM!!!!!!

[Grumpy Gnomb]

The gunman is just another shit bag who wishes to inflict pain on others. The world is a better place with out him but feel for the little kids who are now angels in the sky

[Indiana_Jones]

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'm with Sarge here.

Look at violence in NZ schools etc.

And then you have some MP saying parents are meant to set boundaries for kids, but we can't smack kids etc.

Just what I've been trying to tell our rabid political types here...and ended up being called a Labour Lover - this country is putting into place worldwide policies,it will take a radical change in government to stop it.And I always vote for the most radical party I can find on my voting paper.

.................

What the morons do instead, is to attack a defenceless part of the population - schoolkids.

bullies always hit on soft targets

this is just another form of bullying - some nothing person getting his jollies by having a powertrip over people unable to fight back

his name should be erased as though he never was and there should be a ban on sensationalized news footage of the event in the media so that any sort of 'fame' is denied him

personally i don't CARE what made him such a little, inconsequential worm with a poor self image and no future ......... but Sarge could well be right - self-discipline isn't something people develop naturally - kids need guidance, example and boundaries

Ex boarder was a teacher at Raroa intermediate. She reckoned with the increasing danger (not least from the increasingly psycho kids) the move to largely home based schooling on comps for the majority of state school pupils one day is inevitable. Many already do it due to how the tone of schools has lowered. She has taught at correspondence school too.

[SARGE]

but Sarge could well be right -

well of course i am... when the hippies said we couldnt smack the brats anymore .. they lost the respect for authority.. now they are literally getting away with murder..i personally have been faced up by some little poser giving me gang signs and mouthing off "Cmon old man .. what are you going to do?' ( just give me 3.5 minutes in a dark alley with the brat with no sign of vid cameras and i'll show you)

thank the revolving door justice system that seems prevailant around the civilized world nowdays .. and the LCD tv's with Cable and all the niceties that we are giving the bastards ..

when i was coming up.. i knew prison was a horrible place ..didnt want to go there..

now its 3 hots and a cot and Sky TV.. never have to work and free gym membership ...fuck that .. wanna get in shape asshole??.. heres a shovel and a wheelbarrow.. go build me a school

6x6 concrete room with no windows, chipped beef on toast 2 x a day and when you are sentenced to 20 years .. you DO 20 years ...fuck rehabilitation .. just toss the key
