Bullying in schools has been around a lot longer than Columbine.

The sheriff said the district had no record that the suspect had been bullied at school, and he did not believe specific students were targeted in the attack.

It seems to be a pretty frequently cited motive by the shooters more than myth. But what do they know?simple schoolboy wrote:Is it Columbine that started that myth?BurtReynolds wrote:Is bullying given as an excuse here?

Misleading reporting to avoid any risk of sympathy for the killer. The sheriff said the anti bullying coordinator had no record, which is almost always the case.

Oxford High senior Treshan Bryant said the suspect had been bullied, and he decided to stay home from school after hearing about a possible shooting threat.

The 80s nerd/jock trope had everything exactly wrong. Jocks are the good guys.

Man I hope they nail the father in this too

Dunno why you think punishment is merited for excercising Fifth Amendment rights, but you do you.

I didn't say the father should be punished for telling the kid that. He should do time for irresponsible ownership.simple schoolboy wrote:If Michigan has safe storage laws, the father might be in trouble.Stickman wrote:Man I hope they nail the father in this too

Maybe when abortion disappears we can attempt to regulate parenthood.
Like the whole family shares a cell or something. I know I'd choose wisely if there was a chance I'd be locked up with my parents 23 hours a day.

The students still thought it was the shooter and behaved as such... their fear... their behavior is what resonates in that video. And parents it's one thing to know your kid has done active shooter drills, it's another to see it played out in a real situation where you could easily imagine your child in that room.

Here in Maine, HS students in a certain class can bring their guns in and learn to clean and care for them. The gun racks in the backs of their trucks in the parking lot are an odd site if you're not used to it.tragabigzanda wrote:When I was in first grade, an older girl brought her dads handgun on the bus. This was 1987. She took it out of her backpack, waved it around, let some of the other kids hold it. I think about that sometimes.
