Stabbing kids, though, well see that's actually fUcked up.


That's true. I mean, you could understand if it was the teacher doing it, but someone random? Yeah, that's just pretty crazy.

Harder to make it a 'thing', though. I mean, you can hardly ban sharp knives.

Also,a s the treatment of the dumbbell beating shows, no one cares if kids are hurt because they're not real people anyway.

How can someone who seemed so normal go so wrong? Were there really no warning signs?

Apparently not. Everything that's been said about how he was prior to the incident seems to indicate he was a pretty ordinary middle-aged taxi driver in Cumbria.

I understand people's fascination with these things, but I think it's ultimately pointless. There will never be an explanation, or a rationale, or anything that can explain such behaviour. At some point in their lives, certain people
just completely lose it. I don't know, is there ever much more to it than that?


We crazies don't like other people to know, so we hide it. Most of us don't even want to know about it ourselves. So we repress. Repress. REPRESS!

BOOM!

Or so I've heard.

I question one thing... I keep hearing and reading according to BBC that it was a "sniper rifle with a huge scope"... so I'm thinking, damn, the guy had a .50 caliber, yet the one cabbie looked liked he had been shot in the face with Elmer Fudd's ole' trusty "go-after-the-wabbit buckshotter".

He used a double-barrelled 12-bore shotgun and a .22 rifle with scope.

Exactly. There is a potential for any old individual, me, you, Mr. Rogers, to go ape-sh*t and start randomly shooting people down. No warning, no predictive models worth noting...just hit or miss on who/when/where is going to be the next mass-murderer.

This is why it becomes even MOAR important to arm every single individual...we have to be able to protect ourselves from this threat!!
