Some genius 12-year-old from Melbourne, Florida was arrested for whipping out a pellet gun and firing on a group of elementary school students that were waiting for a bus. He claims he was “just messing” with the other students. He should consider himself lucky. The last time I posted a story about a Florida kid bringing a pellet gun to school the cops blew his ass away.

Teen charged with false threat report:
A 17-year-old Jersey girl from has been arrested for making false reports and false incrimination. She started a rumor that falsely said three specific freshmen were planning a Columbine-like attack on the school. She also falsely implicated those three freshmen to police. It’s almost getting to the point where no threat will be taken seriously anymore. Then when something does happen people will wonder why it couldn’t have been prevented.
“Columbine” threat rumor shakes up Snyder:
A rumor of a Columbine-like attack swept over an Oklahoma town because of one family’s problems…
Sphere: Related ContentSchool officials told Seven News about how the rumored threat of violence got out of hand. Over the weekend, a mother and her son were having their own personal problems. She called into work, to tell them she was going to get help. But, whoever she told called police and the school. She apparently blew the boy’s actions out of proportion. So, when Monday rolled around, the rumors had already started and were out of control. “The school didn’t seem to think it was a big deal,” said Michelle Phelps, who has a child in Snyder schools. “You know the time you think something is not going to happen, it happens.”
The school says they were able to talk with the mom and the student before classes started on Monday and the problem was taken care of. The student will not return to class this year. The school would not say why.

Did anyone else ever sing songs about “burning down the school?” Hell, we were JOKING. It does make one wonder, if these kids put as much effort into learning, or something productive, they could do great things.
I think we all did back in my day but the object of our displeasure was the building itself and not the people inside.
I haven’t the foggiest idea what in the hell is going on with these kids, but it needs to be fixed, and I don’t think handing every possibly paranoid teacher a gun is going to do the trick.
As I have said it before, there seems to be a HUGE lack of parents and the kids themselves taking any kind of responsibility for their own failings. It’s the cops (so let’s blast ‘em) It’s the teachers (so let’s blast ‘em) It’s the schools (so let’s torch it) It’s the government (so let’s rebel) It’s society (so why show any common decency?) It’s the other kids (so let’s blast ‘em). It’s anyone’s fault for making rules and expecting a kid to obey them, or expecting these spoiled bratsto know the meaning of the word: NO. It’s ANYONE’S and EVERYONE’S fault but THEIR’S. This is dangerous thinking and has turned the educational system into anarchy. Good old fashioned corporal punishment being brought back into the classrooms wouldn’t be a bad idea if you ask me. Oh, but a person can get SUED now for smacking little Johnny Doe with a ruler. The parents expect these teachers to basically raise their kidsforthem,but without the benefit of actually being able to discipline them, andthen turn around and blamethe teachers when they can’t keep control. It’slike telling me to go fly an airplane without wings. I will make alot of noise and annoy alot of folks, but I won’t get off the ground.
And what of these adults now invading these schools to carry out their depraved fantasies of raping little girls and/or killing them? That, I am afraid to say, is the result of the other school crimes, shootings, etc. showing these scumbags just how vulnerable to crime the schools are. This was bound to happen sooner or later as some pervert was reading about the “success” of targeting schools for various types of crime in recent years in his local paper or watching it on the news. For shame.
To bring it under control at least for the short term, until some better way of dealing with it happens, I feel that a state sponsored security force in every school of at least one officer (and I mean ARMED officers) per day is going to be the only way to deal with this. My God! I am reading about three or four of these per week now
. Like I said, anarchy.
