Run away or fight. Another violent incident in a weapons-free zone.

Kids don't have school books?

What about a leather belt? Using it as a weapon...

You figured after some one seeing the 1st incident that they were not grabbing school books and tossing them at him/charging him using the book as a means to block and attack him and remove his capability to injure others.


Our culture has lead ourselves to be nothing more then defenseless sheep ripe for the slaughter.

Kids don't have school books?

Increasingly, in many cases they don't. Or they're not allowed to take them home as is the case with my kids.

[6spdC6]

The media (And others) will probably spin it something like good thing only knife/knifes were involved or there would be many more killed or horribly wounded!

[Cybercowboy]

If only one of the kids had a pop tart, they could have chewed it into the shape of a gun and stopped this guy cold.

In my day we used our fists. And after a fight we often became friends. What an effed up world.

:withstupid:

This is exactly what is wrong with the world today. Kids should be allowed to settle their differences. Bloody knuckles and noses are much better than video game inspired rampages.

Yep. Time to start suing the knife manufacturers. Clearly we now need to take away all of the knives from people too. :rolleyes:

Very sad for all involved. :sadangel:

I was going to say I hope my steaks come pre-cut in this future, knifeless "safe" nanny state. But meat is evil and we can eat veggies by hand. (Until the whackos hear them screaming too!)

We should at the very least have a 15 day waiting period to buy a "combat" knife, and anyone who wishes to carry a pocket knife must also obtain a state issued permit in order to do so. Any knife sold for this purpose must have it's cutting edge laser etched so that the knife can be tracked if it is used in a crime.

Double edged, serrated, or switchblade knives, and bayonets will all be referred to as "assault knives" from this day forward, and will be absolutely illegal for any US citizen to purchase or have in their possession.

Furthermore, all food sold in the US should now be able to be consumed without the need to be cut into bite sized pieces by the person consuming it. All food manufacturers will be required to keep all of their cutting utensils under strict security, and all workers who use them will have to pass a lengthy security clearance through the DOJ.

Seig Heil!

I'm still betting that some talking head will blame a conservative and bring gun control into the mix.

Wayne LaPierre's statement about what stops bad guys with guns (and I'm adding other weapons too) is being proven true.

Whoa! Sounds like someone has some serious skills with a knife! :sadangel:

Not necessarily.......Don't take much time or skills to do a helluva lotta damage.

Already been tried.
Didn't work the last time.

WTF is the matter with these whack jobs?
:sadangel: for the victims, death to the moron.
Unbelievable.

[Bill]

You know, when I hear about these school episodes, I always wonder, was this a random whack job, or was this a kid who was unmercilessly bullied who finally got revenge? Unfortunately, it never seems to be the latter. Truly, I wouldn't cry over bullies who steal from and assault weaker kids.

[stingraymyway]

Wonder if the government will want to ban something??

[CertInsaneC5]

I truly believe cyber bullying has a lot to do with this. All the kids are on fakebook and text each other constantly. The whole cyber bullying thing is rampant. I hear it from the kids I interact with all the time, and nothing is ever done about it.

Also, the ADD BS that has been going on for years. Those drugs are not good for anyone. Especially a kid. We need to stop drugging our kids into submission and start parenting them the way we were raised.

We are truly ****ed if we continue down this path. :sadangel:

Suspect in School Stabbing Spree Is 'Confused, Scared and Depressed'

April 10, 2014

Alex Hribal, the 16-year-old student who police say stabbed 22 people at his Pennsylvania high school Wednesday, is “confused, scared and depressed,” his attorney told ABC News in an exclusive interview.

“I think he understands what he did,” attorney Patrick Thomassey said in an interview with “Good Morning America.”

“I don’t think he at this point understands the gravity of what he did. I don’t think he realizes how severely injured some of these people are. And, hopefully, there’s no death involved in any of these. We’re praying that everybody is all right.”

Thomassey said he’s unaware of any signs of Hribal’s being bullied, adding that the teen’s parents are shocked and horrified.

“They could not have predicted that this was going to happen,” he said. “They don’t understand how this occurred.”

The stabbing spree happened at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, a suburb located about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh. Morgan Ritchey, who said she had two classes with Hribal, described him as being “a little misunderstood.”

“I just always felt like he had a different side to him that nobody knew and it was, like, hard to uncover,” said Ritchey.

Hribal, a sophomore, used two 8-to-10 inch "kitchen-type" "straight" knives in the attack, which started shortly after 7 a.m., police said.

Murrysville Police Officer William “Buzz” Yakshe, a school resource officer, heard a disturbance in the hallway and joined a school security guard to go find out what was happening, according to a police affidavit.

The guard and officer split up. The next time Yakshe saw the guard, he was leaning against a wall, bleeding from his stomach.

Sam King, the school’s assistant principal, told police he saw Hribal stab the security guard. King tackled the teen and subdued him while Yakshe handcuffed him.

King heard one of the victims say, “I’ve been stabbed,” he told police.

Authorities charged Hribal as an adult with four counts of attempted criminal homicide, 21 counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of weapons on school property. He was being held without bail in a juvenile detention center in Westmoreland County.

Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld said someone pulled a fire alarm during the attack, raising attention and getting students and teachers to evacuate.

"When we got there we saw a hallway in chaos, as you can imagine," Seefeld said at a news conference. "There was a lot of evidence of blood on the floors and in the hallway, we had students running about, trying to get out of the area."

Nate Moore, 15, was stabbed during the rampage and said he had to be treated with 15 stitches.

"It was really fast. It felt like he hit me with a wet rag because I felt the blood splash on my face. It spurted up on my forehead," Moore told The Associated Press.

Student Gracey Evans said heroes emerged during the attack.

"My best friend, he stepped in front of me and in the meantime, he got stabbed in the back protecting me," she said.

"You couldn't step a single place without pretty much stepping in blood."

At least 22 people were injured after the stabbings at the start of the school day, Westmoreland County emergency management spokesman Dan Stevens said.

The motive for the rampage is under investigation. Seefeld said officials were unaware of any warning signs from the suspect, a sophomore at the school.

At least four people with injuries emergency management officials described as "serious" were flown to hospitals for treatment. Others were not actually stabbed, he said, and some of their injuries included cuts and scrapes

Speaking of pop tart guns, I just heard on the radio that Missouri is set to pass a law that will make it legal for school kids (and illegal to punish them) to simulate guns (with their index finger type thing) or draw a picture of a gun or chew a pop tart into the rough shape of a gun. The sad part is that they actually have to specify this in a law.

That said, the 16-year-old who did this looks creepy as hell. May he serve a very long and unpleasant sentence.
