Seung-Hui Cho was a criminally insane time-bomb who used our PC infested culture to avoid scrutiny. There was only one type of state institution Seung-Hui Cho belonged in... and unfortunately, they have all been bulldozed or boarded-up.
Bullying? I’m probably older than most in here. I was in school in the ‘40’s and 50’s and scraps between boys was a normal thing from time to time. Just part of growing up. Bullys were taken care of when it got carried away and taken care of by the kids. In high school we had one car club that were known as bullys. One day all the 5 other car club members got together and confronted the Commanders...the bullys....and told them “That’s enough”. The Commanders were bad dudes but when we all got together, they couldn’t do anything about it. They backed down and became somewhat sane. You can’t rely on the schools to take care of bullys. The kids will do it if you allow them to start becoming young men and stop tying their hands and making the average kid the bad guy. This is crazy.
"When you're cruel to the kind, it's not long before you're kind to the CRUEL..."
I think that this belongs on your “Another reason to homeschool” list.
Bullying. Bull.
The libs want to blame it on everything but the right thing. A demented time-bomb which should have been in an institution with locked doors.
The normal students were, in my opinion, scared to death to report the creep or to say anything, for fear of being called racist. The administrators were afraid to do anything. So because of PC, people died.
Everyone gets ' bullied' at one time or another as a kid or teen. The problem is the PC bs response not to fight back, not to defend yourself (let's talk and have a group hug).
Bullies are basically cowards. They're bullies when the have backup or are bigger (older). But tell them to 'pound sand' or give them a fight - just once. Even if you get you butt handed to you, odds are they will never mess with you again. They're looking for an easy mark, not someone who will cause them problems.
Caveat; yeah there are the psycho's like Cho who should be in a padded cell but he can't be put there because the PC mopes closed all the nut houses because the nuts have 'rights'. That's working out real well, isn't it.
For the most part, loud people are stupid.
I group the people who claim mass murderers kill because they are crazy with the people who think mass murderers kill because they have been abused.
Andrea Yates used both groups to escape jail.
Some people can’t wrap their minds around the concept that murder is evil.
