On the other hand, she is an athiest.

We take God out of the public sphere, which is the only place many young people nowadays would ever encounter Him, and then we wonder why they place no value on human life, and why they feel their lives are meaningless.

Here's an excerpt from a wonderful Ben Stein article:

"Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this Happen?" (regarding Katrina)

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc., I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school, The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW." "

What's wrong with a revolver? If you're going to take yourself out, just take YOURSELF out.

That's a man's way of thinking. When a woman tries to commit suicide (in most cases) she's looking for attention rather than trying to kill herself. Trying to get her attention by killing an innocent person in the process makes it that much more selfish.

what the f is wrong with kids today?

Just imagine the irony of calling a place "Holy Innocents Episcopal School." In fact, it's hard to say "Holy Innocents Episcopal School" without sarcasm in your voice. That pretty much tells us what's wrong with kids today.

"had told friends she planned to kill herself after another female student at Holy Innocents Episcopal School"

Apparently, that was not the case here.

She looks kinda like a teenage boy in drag, not that I have seen very many.

Her story will probably end up being the movie of the week on Lifetime (irony).

If she really wanted to be dead she should have aimed for a Semi, but then she would have ended up taking someone's job cause those drivers aren't ever supposed to have an accident.

I hope she gets life no hope of parole.

"The most dangerous drivers I've seen are teenage girls."

Two lane blacktop, mid afternoon, clear, dry, very very light traffic, me stopped with my foot on the brake, left blinker on, waiting for an oncoming car to clear the intersection.

A teen girl rear-ends my truck totaling same. The girl told the cop she was doing 55 mph, there were no skid marks. Passenger and I were shaken but still stirred.

My only direct interaction with the girl was when I asked her to tell me what she was paying attention to rather than her driving. "But I waaaaaas paying attention to driving".

Apparently, she learned neither holiness nor innocence.

So it would seem.

FWIW (probably nothing) it is a co-ed school.

I agree, and yet boys are the ones who, by comparison, still have to take it on the chin when it comes to car insurance rates.

That's bcse male teens still have more accidents then female teens. They're also 33 percent more likely than females to die in a crash, have higher DUI rates, and are less likely to wear a seatbelt. Insurance is all about statistics. When the girls catch up, they'll nail them, too.

She'll get all the lesbo action she craved ... in prison. Neil Bortz's account says she went for suicide because another high school girl had spurned her advances. SICKENING!!

And the moral of the story is: If you hit a car in the South, chances are good that it's filled with illegal aliens.

She was going to an Episcopal school. God in the classroom didn't help her in the least.

You surely know better than to think that God would be allowed in a Episcopal classroom.

"Now, she'll get to pay penance on earth; and again in the hereafter. Shame, though. Her penance on earth is going to cost taxpayers who did nothing wrong."
Unfortunately, I suspect when all is said and done, she will get off lightly.
The judge and bleeding hearts have already forgotten about the mother that was killed and the child that will grow up without the mother.

. When a woman tries to commit suicide (in most cases) she's looking for attention rather than trying to kill herself.



I know a woman who "attempted" suicide by shooting
herself in the arm with a 22.

If she wanted to commit suicide, why didn't she ram a concrete wall? Plenty of them out there.
