just as i suspected
Va. Tech shooter was laughed at - Yahoo! News
this seems to be a running theme in a lot of these school shootings
after the columbine diaries and tapes were released a similar theme was evident there as well
everyone feels all of this sorrow for the victims and im sure in many cases the victims were indeed innocent bystanders who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time... but a lot of them were not "innocent"... now im not saying that the shooter in this case or any of the past cases were right in their actions... but i can see how they were pushed to that point
[personal experience]
my freshman year of high school i went out of town to a tech school... i was picked on constantly by a few basket ball player seniors... i was a new kid... from out of town... no friends at that school... over weight... didnt have the right clothes... the right look... the right hair style... etc... every fucking day these mother fuckers would push me into the wall or lockers or trip me... or swing at me as they walked by... id end up dropping books a lot of the time... then they and all of their friends around would laugh at me and talk shit... id get pissed off but knew i couldnt do much about it... these were stars of the school... students loved them... teachers loved them... i was a no one... so i took it... every day over and over... i started carrying weapons to school (clubs, knives, etc)... one day while walking down an otherwise empty hallway the captain of the basketball team saw me and decided to shove me into the wall... everything in my hands fell to the ground... and he stood there laughing at me... it was just me and him in the hall... so i stood up and squared off with him... he shoved me into the wall again and swung at my head... i ducked and reached into my pocket putting on a set of brass knuckles... when i came back up i swung at his head with everything i had... i connected with his face and busted his jaw wide open... his head hit the wall and he dropped to the floor like a brick... i stood there for a moment wondering if i killed him... then looked around the hall to make sure no one had seen what just happened... i left him laying there in the hall with blood coming out of his busted jaw... i walked away calmly and got rid of the knuckles as well as the club and knife i had in my locker...
him and his friends didnt fuck with me as much after that... random threats but nothing more than words...
i left that school for not so related reasons a few months later... ended up going to my local high school where i knew people and actually had a handful of friends...
school shooting averted
[/personal experience]
every time there is a shooting in a school be it high school or college everyone focuses on a few key points... mourning the victims... how the shooter got the gun... why the response was so shitty... and the "psychological disposition" of the shooter
what they dont seem to look at is why they ended up that way... what was it that pushed them over the edge... why if they were so depressed did they choose to kill a bunch of other people instead of simply killing themself like most depressed people do... the thing no one wants to look at is how many of the victims pushed the shooter to that point by constantly fucking with him... everyone makes a joke out of it as theyre talking about the kid they put through hell "oh hes gunna go postal one of these days" "hahahaha"... but they dont realize that its not just them that the person has to take all of this shit from... and he just sits there and takes it... day after day after day... until he finally pops... and then the very mother fuckers who pushed him to that point sit there in shock wondering how and why someone could act out so violently...
its bullshit...
these clicky mother fuckers need to look at the way they treat people that arent cool enough to be one of them a little more closely...
again im not saying that this kid was right to shoot all of those people... all im saying is that maybe if people thought a little more about the way they treat others... and actually treated people fucking decently there would be a few less people pushed beyond their breaking point... a few less people pushed beyond rational thought... a few less people that not only want to kill themselves, but want to take the fucking bastards that put them in this hell with them...
