At the risk of being a thread Nazi, twenty 14-17 year old kids being stabbed by some disgusting freak of nature is not a joking matter.
Their brains are still forming and this could harm them, long term, if they don't get the proper help to deal with it.
I'm sick and tired of innocence being robbed from the innocent.
They don't pull this crap in a Biker Bar or at the local VFW.
It's ALWAYS those that can't defend themselves.
End of rant.

Maybe those old guys had a good idea when they wrote that 2nd amendment after all... Phsaw, nah, no way. Their ideas are so antiquated we need to rewrite that pesky amendment.

Exactly.
Amazing you mentioned that key lime cheesecake, we got takeaway last week from there and you betcha that was in the bag
Maybe they should call it the Cheesecrack Factory.
It's sad when you take a 40 minute road trip to get your fix fixed.

I am waiting to hear whether this was inspired by "The Following" Will we see a discussion about regulating the 1st amendment for public safety and taking the show off the air?
If you don't know what I am talking check out "The Following" (Fox, I think).

Remember??? Kids aren't influenced by violent TV, movies, or games.
Hollywood has told us that.

I understand that and I refuse to don bubble wrap each day in an attempt to remain fully protected, but this is just getting out of hand.
The more it happens the more I want SCOTUS to step in an ORDER carry laws for the entire nation.
It's just not happening fast enough on the state level.
I heard one report that some wounds were about 2" long, making me think kitchen knife.
These things are awful, but the whole country is going through a learning process as bad things happen with knives, shotguns, pistols, bats, etc. -- i.e. that school and office security needs to exist in preparation for multiple threats (and going after modern sporting rifles won't solve the problem.)

Any small folder would do that and it could be carried more safely until needed.

I don't watch, although I've heard a lot about it.
Does this incident mirror one from the show?

Police chief doing press conference just said he had 2 knives.
Doctor says most wounds are lower abdomen. 3 in surgery right now at that facility.
Deep penetrating injuries.

+1 for my high school, although thinking back, it might have been multiple chairs and desks flying in the direction of the attacker instead of tackling him. That was the M.O. for a couple incidents I witnessed.
Same difference though, there was never a shortage of boys willing to fight. Hell, we had a good number of girls that would swing a fist, too.

Don't do that!!!! Next thing you know, they'll be 5.
Anyway...
The doctor says he's a ob/gyn - he and his team delivered several of these kids and their moms are their patients. On edge of tears when saying this.
If you put 2 knives in the same pocket, that would be a high capacity pocket. Soon to be illegal.
short thread jack question.
i am 50, when i was in high school in southern md every boy i knew had a knife on their side or in their pocket. little if anything was said about it. during hunting season you could find guns in the racks of pick up trucks in the parking lot. in my fathers day they took the guns to school and kept them in the gun closet to use hunting after school.
i do not remember a time when mass shootings or stabbings took place back then but we didnt watch much tv or read any new papers so maybe i missed it.
my question is WTF has happened since then to cause this stuff??
WTF is wrong with some people now a days??

Blah, blah, blah
My guess would be a shortage of daddy's and a plethora of sperm donors, for a start.

Without any facts about the incident in PA, it's hard to know. In the show this season, the cultists have staged knife attacks... in a dorm, in a bookstore, on the street. The only real commonality is knives and the desire for terror and publicity.
i believe thats part of it but there is something different about the way some younger people act than i remember back when i was in school.
it seems there is a general lack of respect for themselves and for older folks and those in positions of authority.
i remember the dont trust anyone over thirty and f the man stuff from the 60's and 70's but i dont remember this kind of violence with that.
there must be an underlying cause.
maybe you are right about the no daddy kids. maybe kids dont get beat for being bad or taught respect or decency. damn if i can figure it out.

Somewhere along the line, America/Americans is/are at the end of their collective ropes.
There is a deep seated, fundamental shift taking place in our society.
Be it lack of family unity, lack of jobs, lack of money, lack of compassion, lack of empathy, lack of morals, too many deployments, too many dear John letters, etc.....
The past six to ten years has been brutal for some folks and I think these folks are simply past their breaking points. And a lot of these struggles are not only felt by the parents and bread winners of the house, but felt by their children as well.
For all we know, this could have been a straight "A" student with a promising life ahead of him. He could have been told by his parents, last night, that despite all of his hard work and dedication that they can't afford to send him to college.
Obviously I'm just spit balling here. But we are becoming more and more broken as a society each and every day.
When people are tired, and people are frustrated, and people see no light and the end of a very long and difficult tunnel, they snap.
And in a very perverse way, snapping is normal or it wouldn't be an emotion or an act that lives within the human brain.
We need to find out why these people are snapping. And we need to be told the truth.
Unfortunately, our government isn't too keen on that lately.
