So there was a shooting at my school....

" Wait, this kid's one-liner was "I'm about to make history"?

" That said, hopefully Jack Thompson will come out of retirement to report that this kid loved Counter-Strike and believed him to be a consumed by 'virtual reality in hyper reality'. "

If that happened at my school, I would literally shit my self.

Was this in History class? "

" It doesn't say it in that article, but the gun was a .30-06 bolt-action rifle bought at a Dick's Sporting Goods store. Fortunately, the gun jammed on him. "

Really? Wow... What a great weapon to chose for shooting up a school. While .30-06 is powerful, using it for this situation was probably the best proof of how much of a retard he was.  He should've lrn27.62mm.  EDIT: Actually 9mm, because at 25 cents a round, it's much better. And 7.62 is military... "

There was a shooting at my school a little before the quarter started.  Well, it wasn't on campus, but one of those apartments owned by the school in which somebody shot his lover, if I recall correctly. Most of these crimes seem to have precise targets, I remember a girl was stabbed at UCLA recently as well.

He's not retired, he's disbarred.  "

" Ha, when I was in high school, a kid showed up in the parking lot and shot his girlfriend four times in the chest, then shot himself. The girl was pregnant too. But it was haliarious! He shot the chick FOUR times, and she LIVED! Her baby too. Crazy. "

Nice!   This happened to me once, sept it wasn't my baby and I didn't get shot 4 times... "

"I'm about to make history"
 
My god that is terrible. He is also just really stupid and/or needs help. I am very grateful that no one was hurt though.

"  "It was just kind of surreal to me," student John Smith told FOX 5 as he left the campus. "It's the first time I have been at a school with a shooting."  Only his first? Sorry to be cynical at a matter like this... But seriously? "

" Wait, this kid's one-liner was "I'm about to make history"?  As what, a fucking dumbass?  CONGRATU-GODDAMN-LATIONS ON SUCCEEDING THERE!!!  Fucking people nowadays...  Whatever happened to just draggin a dood outside, beatin each other's ass, then going out and grabbing a brew? "

ffs 30-06 is 7.62

This's what happen's when civilian's are allowed to carry gun's around freely. 
 
What a fucking idiot. 
 
I mean, is there seriously a good reason for him threatening his teacher's life with a gun?
Outside of the teacher being a peadophile or a murderer. I can't understand some fucking loser 20 yr old, or whatever, with the mentality of a 3 yr old havng a tantrum because mummy said no he/she couldn't have a cookie right now as it'd spoil his/her lunch. 
 
I hope he get's some psychological counciling. But as well as this, I hope he goes to prison. I mean, he need's to learn from this idiotic experience because, for goodness sake!  He should grow the fuck up! 
 
EDIT: My dad once told me of how his high school delt with fighting. 
If he or anyone got into a fight, the teacher's would seperate them, make them get changed into their gym clothes and give them some boxing gloves and kick them into the school's mini boxing ring and tell them to fight. They'd either fight or pussy out and make up. Either way they never fought again and they were usually friends afterward's.  
Why is this no longer allowed, it'd work wonder's? 
The namby pamby shit that goes on today is just not working. (Btw I'm 22, so high school and college are still quite fresh in my mind. And I still agree with the above way of handling agression in school's. Next to that, society would probably bitch less about everything under the sun. lol.)

" @ahriman22: Okay, I will admit I don't know the US Firearms laws inside and out, certainly regarding that common sense first part about keeping them in safes, which does make sense, but as far as I can work, generally unenforceable except in cases of chance.

" ffs 30-06 is 7.62 "

" @TooWalrus: that is crazy that she lived. maybe she can become a rapper now. "

Only in the good ol' USA... god i love this country where everyone can get a gun.  Thank you conservatives for fighting so hard for this.  You're really making this a better country.

Damn man, scary shit. 
 
You Americans gotta think before you pull out your trusty musket! ; )
 
Just kidding.

FFS you're a stupid troll.  Do you know what 7.62 refers to? It refers to 7.62x51mm NATO. Cool, now fuck off. "

do you know 7.62 is basically .30 caliber  if you're going to be a gun dork at least be right "

" @TooWalrus: that is crazy that she lived. maybe she can become a rapper now.   in my school some kid brought in a gun to school. he didn't live in the town he lived in a city like next couple of towns over. he was stupid and told a lot of people. when somebody did tell the principle the gun ended up just being a air-soft gun that was spray-painted black. everyone just laughed about it.

Ugh. Just shut up and get off wikipedia. Just do it. I know it is a .30, but it IS NOT .30-06. The 06 is a complete shit caliber for a school shooting due to the weapons it is used in, mainly being rifles. Now NATO is a much better caliber due to it's strength and the fact that it's mainly used in assault rifles, which are much better to kill a large number of people in a small space. Although shotguns would have worked infinitely better. So like I said, 9mm is much more economical for the wallet concerned serial killer. "

  Wait a minute. You live in the UK? Your family owns a gun? You know other people in the UK that own guns?  What exactly was your point again? "

He should've used a Duke Nukem line so that the media could blame it on video games and he'd have a better one liner. Then everyone would be happy. "

Its called masturbation guys, enough with bringing guns to school already.

When I went to high school, there was a kid who murdered his two parents who were both teachers at a neighboring high school. I walked past him several times in school. Kinda eerie.

" @Bellum: "So how does the UK prevent criminals from having weapons illegally?"   Badly is the answer to that, I won't deny it. But there's also no denying the correlation between the USA's law that everyone can own a gun, and it's high gun crime rate, and the UK's illegality of the same thing, and it's low gun crime rate.  Yes, the swiss have it right in this respect, everyone entitled to have a firearm, knowing how to maintain and use it properly, and not be involved in a war for fuck knows how long? Brilliant. Yes there are a number of reason why people seek to acquire a gun, the main one being protection, which I feel is a direct result of our scaremongering media sensationalism. Get rid of this, fear of our falling crime rate goes down, less illegal arms trade. It's logical, but our governnent can't see how partial censorship can work in it's favour.   I was not ever saying any system is perfect, it isn't but merely suggesting that some countries have a better way of dealing with certain issues than others.
