Oddly enough I saw this on TV and immediately thought of you Turbovee.
A f****ng shame is all I can say.

I don't know if it's the gun laws, parentage or what it is. All I know is that the bullet that kills the son also wounds the mother. A lot of people got hurt there today. Imho guns are far too prevalent and available in some societies. The majority of English people have never seen a gun and would far less know how to obtain one. (Not bragging or hyping, just using us as an example.)

Bullying etc. Yes valid points and strangely enough the reason that I had to move out from the lesbian girls I lived with. (The one mentioned to you and Cloudbringer.)

Jenny's daughter lived with her father and went on a school camping trip. The girl she was tent sharing with was constantly bullied for the week they were there and Alex looked after this poor little girl. Nearing the last night they went or were forced (through childish indiscretion rather than malevolence I believe) to a dark part of the woods. Well the next thing we hear is that there's been a multiple stabbing and Alex is involved.

The girl involved was terrified and had armed herself with a knife and lashed out through fear injuring some of her abusers. These kids were 11yrs old. One is now convicted of whatever crimes although she was the original victim, and some kids are hurt. It didn't turn out too bad for Alex other than being forced to leave that school and moving back this way to live with her mum.

Just think what a terrible scenario that could have been if guns were available.

Yes we could do an autopsy on the level of care given them by their guardians and we could dissect the psychological attitudes impressed or learnt by them from their parents/surroundings in their earlier years but it will do no good now.

It's impossible to bring all kids up "stable" and it's impossible to keep an eye on all kids at all times. It shouldn't (at least I don't think it should) be impossible to keep firearms away from them. I just can't help but feel that if guns weren't as prevalent in society as they are today then a lot of these things would never happen.

One love, peace.
