Hi Muaddib.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Have you thought that some of the over reactions of the last situation might have lead to where things are?
Just like in this case, they arrested some college kid for saying what he feels, because those around him received it as a threat. Now he is going to
be marked for life, and probably monitored and picked on. Placed on some list to be monitored. There over-reaction could well lead this kick to become
targeted and perceived as a threat, causing people to treat him like a threat, or a nut job, or the next school shooter, till low and behold prophesy
fulfilled.
In the case of the last guy, apparently after he wrote the oh so shocking school plays he was sent for psychological evaluation.

The link above is to the shocking school plays. Has no one in that class read Stephen King. He has written way more disturbing stuff.
Hi xmotex.
The idea is not to shoot the local bully, but to put the blame on the locally bully for creating hostile climates that could lead to another
columbine. I bet if more people put the blame on the bullies, instead of going along with the bullies, we would see less of these tragedies.
Hi niteboy82.
Your situation is a really good example of what I am talking about. Now what if you have been ostrasised as the troubled next school shooter, instead
of the suicidal troubled kid? They could have screwed you up to the point, where you might have taken violent actions. I am just glad you got out, and
lived to tell the tale of highschool.
Hi Muaddib.
The only reason anyone should kill a bully is if the bully is trying to kill you
The bully does kill these people. They kill their souls one comment at a time, till these people forget their humanity, become disconnected and then
you have rip conditions for the actions we saw this week. We have to understand that words are like sharp little knives, one stab at a time, no one
bleeds externally, but they die a little bit inside with each hit, till there is nothing left of them and that barrier that humanity that might have
prevented something like this from happening is gone.
Hi Vinadetta.
The fear does control our lives. The media should be ticked for trying to scare us, and then brainwashing us about what to think every-time one of
these situations happens.
I do think it is over paranoia. I also think that they are over reacting to some things, and then sending everyone into a stupid frenzy, which they
are taking out and acting out on others.
I live your avatar. Good movie.
HI Infoholic.
Arrested on suspicion. Welcome to the new police state everyone. Remember think nice thoughts, think nice thoughts.
HI zerotime.
Yep his comment must mean he has a screw loose, you nailed it on the head. Let's take him out of school, lock him up in an institution and never ask
why he would say that or feel that way. In our new society, it's think nice thought, speak no evil, hear no evil and if you do report it.
I feel really sorry for society, because we don't see that our actions are often what cause such situations.
Hi scooler1
And what if by taking these extreme measures they create the same problem? Then what? No one would feel the least bit responsible is what. Because you
are no longer taught personal responsibility as a society.
Hi xmotex.
Be careful what you say, your post might be construed or perceived as threatening and in the new police state you might get dragged in for
questioning. I am only half joking. Today offline or online, you have to be careful with what you say, and even write.
Just by showing humanity and saying you understood or would not blame this kid for what he did, you could be putting yourself in danger, and this is
what the society has come down to.
If more people had empathy and understanding in society today, I think we would have less tragedies.
